Campus travel and parking update
The following letter was sent by Elaine Cooper, director of Transportation and Parking Services, and University Police Chief Paul Cell:
The significant snow accumulations earlier this week have
had an adverse impact on campus roadways, walkways, and parking lots.
Physical Plant staff has been working around the clock since 2 p.m. Sunday
to continuously clear these areas. The severity of the storm and its
significant snowfall made keeping up with snow removal difficult if not
impossible until the storm was over. Grounds staff continue to work to
clear snow and ice, and we ask for your patience and understanding as
their efforts go on unabated.
We are aware of specific snow removal issues in the following areas: Lots
14, 17, 18, 19, 25, 40 and Clove Road apartments. These are being worked
upon on a priority basis. If you know of any other areas needing attention,
please advise us and we will pass this information on to Physical Plant.
Due to the need to maintain clear passage for emergency vehicles, regulations
prohibiting personal vehicles from blocking roadways are being strictly
enforced.
Thank you for your cooperation.
