Another problem is students who don’t know where available spaces are. According to Huggins, there are 300 spaces on Barnwell Street, but only 200 are used dai ly. Behind the Field House, there are an additional 70 spaces. “The major parking problem is not having the perimeter park ing that we needed in August due to construction,” Huggins said. “But the administration has moved forward in trying to pro vide perimeter parking and over fill support with shuttles and oth er alternatives.” Improving the shuttle system on campus This year, up to 4,000 students ride the shuttle each day, and 2,000 students rode the shuttle just five years ago. Huggins said Student Government, the admin istration and Parking Services are working together to continue to improve the shuttle system. “If you would like to get to the area of the Gambrell building, Humanities Building and the B.A. building, the best place for you to park would be on Barnwell, ride the shuttle up to Capstone, and then walk from there. You need to give yourself 25 to 30 minutes to take this route,” he said. “If you would like to get to the science building... and the Horseshoe area, you should park at Bates and take the green shuttle, but five weeks from now, you will be able to park at the new spaces in the Coliseum and take the red or blue shuttle.” Parking for Greeks and commuters Huggins doesn’t foresee a prob lem with the new Greek houses still under construction. “The Greek villages will have a lot of reserved spaces for their residences. By the time every thing is complete, there will be 522 spaces just for them, and the Coliseum will be mainly for the commuter students and nonse nior faculty and staff,” Huggins said. Another parking aspect im plemented for nighttime safety is the Bull Street Garage hourly parking area. “The Bull Street hourly parking area was set up to be a safe haven for students who need to be close to the dorms at night, but we have students who are abusing the system and not moving their cars during the day for the people who actually need those spaces late at night. We need for the students to move their cars during the day like they are supposed to, and if they don’t, we will ticket them,” Huggins said. Huggins and others are work ing to create alternatives to park ing and driving around campus. The shuttles, which run every 15 minutes, are one of the alterna tives. An express system is de veloping that would allow stu dents to can take a bus from the Coliseum to the Horseshoe and be there within seven minutes. Officials are also encouraging stu dents and faculty to ride bikes.
