DPS seems to be getting in gear. I spoke to a guy who was measuring a spot behind Memorial Hall along the stone wall beside the YMCA building that is slated to be scooter parking although I doubt that more than 4 scoots could squeeze in the space being marked off.

Okay, if the permits won’t be necessary until November will they pro-rate the fee? Normally parking permits/CAPS stickers etc. are issued and are valid from Aug. 15 through the next Aug. 15th.

I did find it interesting though that the bike cop didn’t say anything to me while I was parking my scooter the other day, but did tell the smoker to go over to the flag pole.

The scooter permits won’t be necessary until the rules begin to be enforced in November. Beyond that the UNC Parking people haven’t given any information on when and where we can get the permit.

Thanks for the suggestions, Keith. I passed them on to the Parking folks.

So when and where should scooter riders go to get a permit?

For those on the main campus the bike parking area beside Manning Hall and behind Bynum Hall could easily designated as a scooter parking area. Most of the scooters I see are parked there already and I rarely see a bike parked there. Plus, its right beside the gated parking lot at Bynum so we wouldn’t be on the sidewalks.

There seems to be a good deal of room behind Memorial Hall as well which is accessed from Cameron St. and near the motorcycle parking beside Phillips Hall.

Please pass these parking options along to whomever is handling this.
