Recommendation on parking meters

At a special meeting on November 18, 2004 , the UAF Master Planning Committee approved the following recommendation regarding parking meters. This recommendation results from a similar recommendation from the MPC’s Circulation and Parking Subcommittee.

Your review and approval of this recommendation is requested.

The specific recommendation is as follows:

The Master Planning Committee supports the recommendation of its Circulation and Parking Subcommittee to install new meters in each parking lot, thereby providing more short-term visitor and commuter student parking and increasing revenue. A clear distinction must be made between parking meters that are for visitors only and those that may be used by commuter students for limited periods. Color-coded meters are one method that should be considered.

MPC members voted 10-0 with no abstentions in support of this recommendation; ten members were present—a quorum being established.

This recommendation helps fulfill an important element of UAF’s Campus Master Plan and Circulation and Parking Plan—specifically to increase opportunities for commuter students and visitors to find convenient parking on campus.
