As part of Transportation Services facility maintenance program, the department has secured a contract for asphalt maintenance on campus. This contract includes twenty-six unique roadway, parking lot and loading dock projects across the campus. This work will provide new driving surfaces on all campus roadways that have not been recently maintained. The included parking lots projects will include preventative maintenance in some lots and complete parking surface replacement in others. The scheduled timeframe for these projects is Monday August 27th through Friday September 14th. We understand these projects will create impacts for some department operations and possible commute delays. Transportation Services’ staff will make every attempt possible to reduce construction impacts and provide the most access possible during these projects while protecting the safety of construction workers and the public.
PARKING OPTIONS
Parking permit holders who are displaced by the closure of their assigned parking lot or roadway closures that prevent vehicle access to their assigned parking lot may park in any open nearby Red Permit, Blue Permit or Pay-By-Space parking lot during these closures. Permit holders should continue to display their parking permit for their assigned lots when parked in another area.
