For example, students will be pleased to learn that lot C-1 (west of the high rises), formerly for residential students only, has been redesignated a BC lot daily from 8 am to 6 pm, opening it up to commuters. Similarly, A10 (adjacent to Chapman) will no longer be solely a faculty/staff lot, but will be redesignated an AB lot (pending union approval), permitting students to park there during business hours. Thus, two more lots, both located north of the tracks where parking is more scarce, can be opened to students. Another student-advocated recommendation was approved to redesignate AB5 (opposite Thompson) as an overnight lot which will allow anyone to park in that lot from 6:30 pm to 7:29 am ­ adding flexibility for both Thompson residents and those in the lower quad.

More spaces will also be created for the fall, following a Parking Office survey this summer to determine the number of compact cars on campus. (Registrants will be asked to indicate car model on their Vehicle Registration Form.) Lines will then be redrawn for "compact cars only," 10 of which can fit in every nine slots allotted for full-size cars. Meanwhile, the quality of handicapped spaces will be improved, as will parking lot signage.

Here's a wrap up of the remaining approved recommendations:

· An engineering study will be done to determine the feasibility of constructing additions to lots AB-7 and AB-10 (north of Holley St.) and pending the sale of a house on the adjacent land.

· Many students will be happy to hear that the Parking Office will continue to issue commuter and freshman half-price stickers for parking in AB1, AB2 and B2, all adjacent to Tuttle.

· The College should consider scheduling classes to avoid the 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. cluster that increases parking demand during those hours.

· Groups of 100 or more visiting the College will be required to park in ABC1 (former Stage XVI site) and contract for shuttle service to their event site; a bus shelter and blue light phone will be constructed to accommodate large group special event parking. Contractors will also be required to park in ABC1 to the greatest extent practicable. Vendors will still be required to make deliveries using loading docks or designated building rear entrances, as state and BASC-owned vehicles will be required to park in Service Vehicle spaces, or if occupied, in any other legal space (handicapped excluded); they may not use sidewalks as has sometimes been the case.

· The College will initiate negotiations with union representatives relating to parking charges.

· The new parking regulations, with the exception of the visitor parking provisions, were approved and will be presented to the College Council for its approval upon resolution of the visitor parking issue (see below).

· Handicap parking will be strictly enforced to ensure that only those authorized be allowed to park in these spaces.

· A one-time-only 30-day amnesty period for all tickets was approved; only the base fine amount will be due during the 30-day period, after which tickets be sent to the collection agency.

· Even before approval was officially received, the Parking Task Force was able to determine that the College must charge sales tax on parking stickers and parking fees.

· Revised regulations and operating procedures will be given to all parking customers and posted on the Brockport Web site.
