Small-car slots
ease parking woes
By MERIL EDWARDS
Battalion Staff
The parking problems at Texas
A&M University are far from being
solved, but the University Police
Department is working on them.
Forty-eight new spaces were
created in the large parking lot be
hind the Commons, P.A. 24, by re
striping part of the lot into a small-
cars-only area, said Thomas R. Par
sons, director of security and traffic
for the University.
“Before the students came,” Par
sons said, “we placed concrete bar
riers at the entrances to the slots for
small cars to keep the larger cars
out.”
The small-car-parking area was
first tried in June in the parking lot
across the street from Zachry Engi
neering Center. Parsons said 40
new spaces were created in that lot.
“We’ve been real pleased so far,”
Parsons said. “Of course, we’ve had
a few problems with large cars try
ing to use them.
“We’re feeling our way around
now, and may try to restripe some
staff parking lots, but the traffic is
too bottled up now to try anything
right away.”
Parsons said the police depart
ment got information from the Uni
versity of Maryland, which has used
the small car lots successfully on its
campus.
“They advised us to restripe the
areas at the front of the lots for small
cars for convenience or else the stu
dents wouldn’t use them. Parsons
said. “Large cars gain from this ar
rangement too, since 40 more
spaces were released for them.
