It’s no secret that finding parking on the university of Colorado’s campus is not an easy task and CU is trying to take action to make the process smoother for commuters. The campus might be seeing changes in the very near future. The plan was presented at the Boulder Campus Planning Commission meeting.
The University of Colorado projects a 9.4% increase in student enrollment over the next decade, meaning that more and more students need to get to campus daily. CU has no choice but to come up with a new plan to accommodate the university’s growing population. The permit would be limited to only a couple days a week, to encourage students to use alternative transportation other days. The plan also includes raising the price of parking on campus but suggests giving breaks to students who carpool and employees. Another change CU might be seeing is the implementation of electronic parking systems that indicate an available spot. CU parking might become more efficient but it certainly won’t be easier so you might as well pump up your bike tires and dig out your RTD pass from under that pile of clothes.
