~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As you know, a large portion of the three year parking permit rate increases were intended to be used for much needed repairs to improve existing parking facilities on campus. We are pleased to inform you that Lot 36 is scheduled for a complete rehabilitation to include resurfacing, restriping and upgraded lighting. It is estimated that this project will cost approximately $1.5 million and will take at least 90 days to complete once construction begins. The bid packet for this project is on the street now and the exact dates are still being defined. This information will be included in our next update. All sections of the lot adjacent to the vet school are included in the project (36a-e). The project is designed to be completed in three phases, keeping at least 250 parking spaces open during construction as detailed in the attachment. Care has been taken to stagger closures to loading areas to minimize the impact on deliveries and services provided by the college. Special needs or concerns regarding building access between May and August should be identified and reviewed at the departmental level, then forwarded to Transportation Services. Every effort will be made to minimize disruption of normal activities.

ALTERNATE PARKING:
Customers with permits for Lot 36 may park in the sections of 36 that are not under construction or in Lot 71, east of Agronomy Road. This project has been scheduled at a time when the campus population is at a minimum to limit the impact on customers.

Please send any questions, comments, or concerns to Mr. Rod Weis at rweis@tamu.edu or to Mr. Clint Willis, Project Manager for Transportation Services at ckwillis@tamu.edu. Please share this information with your colleagues to ensure that everyone is aware of this upcoming project.

We wanted to make you aware of the reason that movement on this wait list has been suspended.
