PARKING

Parking is today a universal problem. It is a daily aggravation for all
at Douglas College. The New Westminster Campus faces a particularly
difficult problem with the commencement of construction of the new

administrative building in the south east corner of the campus.

‘In the last couple of weeks a parking survey has indicated many illegally
parked cars on campus. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday are particularly
difficult days with. as many as 75 cars illegally parked. To date; . this

has been tolerated with only mild warnings as to the consequences.

The New Westminster Fire Department has now after repeated warnings stated
it will be necessary to tow away any illegally parked cars. This we do
not wish to see. However, the scheduled construction will further reduce
available space for parking. It is necessary to solicit your earnest co-

operation in respect to parking only in approved parking areas.

If parking is not available next to your classroom or place of work please
look around. Some legal spaces remain unoccupied even at peak load

7

periods.

The College Administration is aware of the parking difficulties and are
negotiating with the municipality for additional parking areas. This is

a long term proposition and we all have to await developments.

A partial short term solution to our regularly tight parking situation is
available at the Canada Games Pool parking lot. It will be necessary to
use this facility if we are to avoid obstructing construction and possible

damage to our cars.

May we please have your co*operation in the use of legal parking space

only on campus and in your use of Canada Games Pool parking lot.
