Paid
Night Parking
By Nicole Brusik
The sun may be setting on free nighttime parking at UNC-Chapel
Hill.
Right now parking is free after five p.m., but the Transportation
and Advisory Committee is talking about changes.
The committee is looking at the possibility of controlling
parking lots at night, particularly the more popular north
campus lots.
One idea being considered is requiring people to purchase
a night parking permit.
Money raised from the new parking policy would go to offset
budget cuts and to future parking expansion projects.
Students were surveyed and met last week to discuss parking
issues and many voiced concerns about safety.
The committee will review the survey responses and opinions
heard at the meeting this week.
Public Safety Officials says Carolina is a safe campus and
changing the parking policy won't change that.
