Parking continues to present problems

Parking remains one of the most contentious issues across college campuses today.

Who can park where, how much parking is available and what is being done are questions that many students have.

Salisbury University is no exception.

Last Tuesday, students had a chance to participate in a Parking and Transportation Town Hall and voice their concerns over the parking situation.

Increased fines for improper parking on campus have contributed significantly to the unrest among students who may be expected on campus for meetings or appointments, as explained by Student Government Association Junior Speaker of Senate David McCreary.

As dusk comes earlier and earlier, the problem only exacerbates itself. The parking lots and garage have been the sites of assaults and burglaries in the past.

Campus Security / Police should handle these issues promptly! This is an issue at EVERY College Campus across the U.S.

Any woman that goes to her car in a parking lot after dark would be very foolish to go alone.

They've made visitor parking a hassle. The visitor parking spaces and signs are unchanged, so they're raking in the cash from visitors who don't know the rules have changed and have no way of knowing until they're ticketed.
A handicapped friend recently parked in a handicap parking spot and got a ticket. She is a paid, frequent user of an on-campus facility and was never warned about the change.

You can not even go to Chick Fil A there without getting a ticket. It is very obvious that they only care about making money through parking violations to visitors of the campus.

The shopping center where Chipotle and little Caesar pizza is, is ridiculous. Very hard to find a parking spot in there because of college kids using this area.
