ANNOUNCEMENTS FROM PHYSICAL PLANT

 

 

PARKING

Imperial Parking Ltd., who are now in full
control of the three parking levels, will
be providing staff on site January 4, 5
'and 6, 1983 in order to handle the sale of
monthly card passes. Their personnel will
be available on Tuesday, January 4, be-
tween 0900 and 1200 hours for the conven-
lence of staff and faculty. Staff will
also be available fram 0900 to approxi-
mately 1800 hours on January 5 and 6 to
participate in registration. The actual
location of the sales booth will be deter-
mined by the College Registrar as the reg-
istration line is set up.

Everyone is reminded that the current rate
(75¢ per day maximum) will be discontinued
at the end of December with the approved
rate structure coming into effect on
January 1.

-This rate structure, published at both en-
trances to the parking facility, is as
follows:

25¢ per hour or portion

$ 1.50 maximum daily rate to 1800 hours
-50¢ flat rate for evenings

$15.00 monthly

$48.00 per four month semester

It must be remembered that a $10.00 de-
posit is required to ensure the return of
the pass card which is issued for monthly
and semester parking. This is a one time
charge and will be returned when the card
is eventually surrendered. A quick calcu-
lation will show that on the basis of a 22
day month, most staff and faculty would
pay $33.00 a month on a cash basis. The
car pass at $15.00 per month is a consid-
erable saving.

The card pass permits entry to the P3 or
lowest level of parking as well as to the
upper level, Pl, and also permits exiting
from all three levels. This will help to
avoid the long entry and exiting lines

 

which presently occur at peak traffic
periods.

Please be aware that $1.50 daily maximm
applies only if the vehicle is left con-
tinously in the car park. It is presently
permissible to obtain a receipt for the
75¢ payment and return the same day. This
privilege will not be extended in January
once the full rates come into effect. In
and out privileges are conferred on card
passes only.

Parking rates for motorcycles are 50% of
the established rates for automobiles and
other vehicles, while bicycles can be
parked free. It is anticipated that a
bicycle rack will be installed shortly to
permit bicycles to be locked under same
form of periodic surveillance.

Parking lot operators will be in attend-
ance from 0700 to 2300 hours Monday to
Friday during the spring semester com-
mencing January 4. Operators will be
present on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays
initially if the demand warrants. With
a card pass it will be possible to enter
and exit seven days per week. For all
those parkers wishing to remain on a cash
basis there is a coin machine which will
permit exiting with the insertion of 50¢.
This takes place at the Pl level only and
is the recommended means of exiting the
facility when no attendant is on duty.

Special signage securing reserved spaces
for the handicapped will be installed
shortly on the Pl level immediately to

the right of the west stair/elevator entry.
Space initially will be available for three
handicapped parkers.

CAFETERIA CLOSURE

The Douglas College cafeteria will be
closed for the Christmas break between
semesters, from December 20 to January
9 inclusive.

Short order line will re-open on Monday,
January 10, at 0800 hours.
