Summary of Submitted Student Comments Survey needed option to allow for comments. Crosswalk and stop light needed in front of Carnegie. After 3: 30 pm we are able to find parking closer to buildings for night classes. Need better directional/informational signage on both campuses (main and VA). Too many faculty/staff parking spots that are not used throughout the week. Motorcycle lot behind Brown Hall needs to be resurfaced. Lack of enough student parking near Carter Hall. Dorm residents should be assigned specific

Summary of Submitted Faculty/Staff Comments Survey should have provided more answer options (NA, I Don’t Know, Not Enough Information, etc. ) Promote walking, biking, and public transportation. Bring back Buc. Shot service from VA to main campus. Survey did not address disability parking and accessibility. Limited faculty/staff parking around Lamb and Sam Wilson halls (west side of campus) If you need to leave campus during the day, you will not find parking when you return. East exit to parking garage should be right turn only. Line-of-sight issue at intersection of Beller and North Dossett Drives. Roundabout at garage is dangerous, because many do not know how to negotiate, especially with respect to pedestrian crossings. Bus stop at John Roberts Bell and South Dossett Drive needs to be relocated. Have shuttle make right run onto South Dossett Drive and then U-turn.
