RE: Proposal for Final Project
I request that you accept my topic for the Writing 465 final project. Hopefully, I will be able to use this project to help alleviate the current parking problem at Winthrop University. Jack Allen, from Campus Police, and Walter Hardin, Associate Vice President for Facilities Management, have shown interest in my project.
BACKGROUND
Winthrop University is a small public school with an enrollment of 5,065 undergraduate students (Fall 2002). Although there is a wonderful parking system

After years more of complaining, they decided to add a parking garage to their campus. Although this garage eliminated 200 spaces, it added 613. The price of this garage was $5.5 million. Arkansas State used the parking deck, as well as the reserved parking system to help alleviate their situation. Many other campuses utilize the same systems, such as: University of Cincinnati, University of Iowa, University of Louisville, University of Pittsburgh, University of South Florida, University of Tennessee, University of Wisconsin, and many more.
There are currently only a handful of reserved spaces on campus, and the ground has yet to be broken for the construction of the parking deck. In fact, Winthrop University does not even have all the funds needed to build this parking deck. When I approached Jack Allen, of Campus Police, with my idea of reserved parking spaces, he told me that he thought it was a good idea. Walter Hardin, when given the same idea, seemed to think that the reserved parking system would not realistically work out but was open to the proposal.
PROPOSED PROJECT
I am planning to find the funding needed to establish reserved parking at Winthrop University through Campus Police and the current traffic and parking system. Hopefully, Winthrop University and Campus Police will recognize the need and responsibility to fund these reserved parking spaces.
My report will

For starters, after traveling with a group of my friends and waiting in the dreaded traffic that started near campus, we were thankfully able to pull up right behind the stadium for designated, close parking. As we
Parking is a function that is necessary and required by almost everyone that visits or uses the Boise State University campus. This may range from teachers to visitors to employees. It includes students on campus that reside in the resident halls, apartments and University suites. Parking is especially critical for students that do not reside on campus. These would be part-time or full time students.
policy will be followed, and may result in dismissal of the student from Indiana Wesleyan
Originally, a portion of the practice field directly next to busy University Boulevard was going to become more parking, but due to decisions made by higher ups, that did not
As a third year undergraduate, I love Sacramento State for its unique features such as the beautiful campus, The Well, and many features. If I could complain about one thing it would be finding parking. Finding parking is probably the main complaint of the majority of Sac State students. Finding parking causes students to arrive late to class which is very crucial. Sac State came up with a solution and plans to build a new parking structure. My sources are Tony Lucas, Thomas Ketron, and Erick Winje.
The main campus of Macquarie University currently offers a range of permits available to the 38,747 enrolled students. At this time, there are approximates 4,000 parking spaces available (Macquarie University, Parking, 2016). There are various types of spaces which depend on the zone you are allocated in and every car park requires a particular type of permit. Students can find the application form of parking permit in the Website of Macquarie University as well as students can choose either a monthly, half-yearly, yearly or premium permit that costs between $105-1,500. Students are required to show a valid parking permit while parking on campus, otherwise there is risk to be fined and get an infringement notice (Macquarie University, Car, 2016).
This proposal is initiated as a result of the growing need for a more comprehensive approach to plan the campus parking , both as it relates to current campus activity and
I am currently a student at the St. Petersburg College and I am writing this letter to discuss my concerns about the public transportation in Pinellas County. The purpose of this letter is to address the issues about the bus system and solutions on how to solve these issues. To begin with, I have been riding the city bus for five years, and have traveled from St. Petersburg to Clearwater and vice versa. When I first started taking the bus I was in high school because my school didn’t have a bus system. In addition, I lived far away and my travel time was two hours. Today, I continue to take the bus because its affordable. In 2014, I was excited to learn that PSTA launched its u-pass program which allows college students to ride for free if
UMASS Boston does not provide dorms and hence students have no choice but to look for accommodation near the university. The two residential places close to the UMASS Boston are the Peninsula Apartments and Harbor Point. It only takes students 10-15 minutes to walk to the University. The rent for the apartment ranges from around $1800-3600 per month. There are two types of parking lots; indoor parking costs $150-$170 and outdoor parking $85 per month. The number of visitors’ parking spaces is limited, and hence, it is usually not possible to accommodate all guests who visit the apartments. International students are increasing and moving into the apartments. Most of them own one or more cars which occupy the available parking slots. More
No solution goes without having its issues, whether it is structural, financial or aesthetic. Some of the solutions to expand the parking are more reasonable, while some will cost a pretty penny. Whichever proposal the college decides to go with will benefit the
This becomes inconvenient when you need to simply pick up a package from the mail center, or grab lunch in the food court. Five dollars is a price uncalled for when one is only there for less than thirty minutes. Therefore, the Ferguson Center should offer thirty-minute parking for students or allow orange-zoned students to park inside of the parking garage for free. If a risky person decides to park in the green zone, one should expect to find an invincible white ticket buried underneath their windshield
Notably, schools and universities that have vast campus area also have systemized rules on campus accessibility, may it be for individuals or for vehicles. For individuals, identification cards are used for entry, while for vehicles, parking stickers. Over the years, parking stickers in Silliman University give access-to-campus privilege. It also gives parking sticker holders designated area to park their vehicles. In order to promote the welfare of Sillimanians inside the campus, parking rights should be controlled through the use of parking stickers in order to promote and maintain an organized, accessible, and safe University campus (Silliman University vehicle policy 1).
Mississippi College has a huge issue with parking. There is not enough parking and often many have to park elsewhere, like Koger’s. Parking is a safety issue Mississippi College’s parking situation is an issue that only causes problems and should be fixed immediately.
Students in your high school through tenth grade to seniors all think that it is ridiculous because AAHS is only a year old, but they did not make “enough” parking spaces for everyone to park. The parking permits are very much so overpriced just think.. sixty-dollars for approximately 300-400 vehicles that park in the student parking every day, the school is making around 24,000 maybe even more. Students and parents don’t even know what happens with that money since the school is so new!
