Parking Garages
Parking Proposal

Dear President Boren and University of Oklahoma Regents: Enclosed is a proposal that addresses our university’s minimum parking options for students who park in the parking garages and parking lots. My proposal portrays the major problem concerning the minimum of parking availability and provides a practical solution for the university. The enclosed proposal suggests a solution for the University of Oklahoma to build parking garages on top of parking lots and/or build more parking garages closer to the buildings on campus where there are classes for students. Currently, students are required to pay a total of $195 for a parking permit for a whole year to park in certain areas in the campus even though a parking spot is not guaranteed. This proposal would help students be able to have more options on where to park and not have to spend thirty minutes or more looking for a parking spot before class. The benefits of my plan include more available parking spots, fewer car accidents, better attendance in classes, better overall grades in classes, fewer sicknesses, and fewer fines to be paid for parking illegally. I hope that my proposal is received well and is considered thoroughly as a practical solution. Additional changes to the minimum of availability of parking places might help the campus be more desirable to students to attend, rather than being frustrated before even arriving to the university due to knowing there will be a good amount of time wasted searching for a parking spot to park in.
Contact me by email, Stephanie.D.Everman-1@ou.edu at any convenience for you and thank you for looking over my proposal.

Sincerely,
Stephanie Everman (Student)

    One of the most important negative aspects that I dislike about Montclair State University is the parking system. Most students at the University are aware that parking is indeed very difficult and can be extremely stressful at times. The worst part is that freshman and sophomores are required to park at the transit deck which is about a ten to fifteen minute walk. Parking in the transit deck is very time-consuming, and usually the reason most students are late to their first class.…

    This memo evaluates proposed land use options raised by Oakmont City officials. An assessment of the financial and non-financial implications suggests that building a parking garage with fees favoring short-term parking potentially yields the most desirable outcome. This investment produces the highest net present value (NPV) and helps solve a parking space shortage. Earnings generated by the garage should be used to offset negative externalities associated with the project. Further analysis into the impact of price hikes on parking utilization, and the types of parking spots that will improve the current shortage is needed to strengthen this assessment.…

    Essay on St. Louis

    One way for the administration of St. Louis to improve the students’ lives is through the creation of free, on campus parking. Early mornings are tough enough on students and finding a parking spot during early-morning-rush-hour shouldn’t be the hassle that it is. Currently, students who drive have four options; to park on campus and risk the parking ticket expense, or to park on the surrounding streets and move their car every two hours to avoid a parking ticket, or to pay to park in neighbouring streets’ parking garages, or to park in the neighbouring establishments’ lots, thus risking a parking ticket and enduring a long walk back to St. Louis. It can be determined that none of these four parking methods are cost or time efficient, because all four methods could leave you with a parking ticket or parking expense, and three of the four methods of parking require a ten to fifteen minute walk back to St. Louis campus. If the administration of St. Louis creates free, on campus parking, both students and faculty can enjoy less traffic congestion surrounding the school and a less stressful, costly, and time consuming decision of where to park.…

    Parking on Campus

    Having a car last semester, it was very inconvenient for me to park when it came to driving to class. I was disappointed by the amount of tickets I received, making my parents question whether I really needed a car. I might get a new car next semester but in all honesty I don 't really know if it 's worth it or not, especially if you 're living on campus. Riding the bus only involves a shorter walk to class, and I can usually find rides to other places from someone else. Most students however, do want a car and shouldn 't have to think if they should really need one just because of the parking problem on campus.…
