| Comment ID | Comment |
| 1 | Recommends decreasing the number of parking spaces reserved until midnight near the Carmichael gym |
| 2 | Do not extend parking enforcement beyond 5:00 pm in the CVM lot. student safety/affordability/safe parking |
| 3 | I pay for a BP sticker because finding a space is very difficult around 1:30 pm - Very frustrating to pay same price for 1-5 pm that others pay for 8 hour use and then not being able to find a space and keep circling around |
| 4 | Do not oversell the number of parking spaces! |
| 5 | Would like to register opposition to what has been done in the North lot (Feels N designated spaces are under utilized in the lot.) |
| 6 | With the absence of genuine mass transit alternatives in the Triangle, the university will not be pedestrian friendly and further more creates a congested dangerous environment for vehicles and Pedestrians. "NCSU can't change the whole structure of Trans |
| 7 | Feels the University penalizes "faculty and staff (and students too, I guess) by creating artificially heightening scarcity of parking." |
| 8 | Would like Faculty and Staff with B permits to be able to utilize N designated spaces |
| 9 | Faculty & Staff parking should take precedent over student parking "for many obvious reasons." |
| 10 | Opposed to efforts to remove B designated spaces by painting unnecessarily large No Parking Stripes (I.e. in front of Building 1911) |
| 11 | Believes more AS designated spaces exist than there is need for |
| 12 | Traffic is bad around Reynolds; Is it possible to have traffic directed at Dunn and Pullen starting at 4:00 pm on Tues. and Thurs. |
| 13 | Transit Buses leave their turn signal on creating safety issues |
| 14 | Need for officer directing traffic at Dunn & Pullen is consistent - Officers not always present to direct traffic |
| 15 | Wants a faculty permit to allow parking anywhere on campus, including all gated lots |
| 16 | The campus and the entire city of Raleigh is bicycle unfriendly.What is the University doing to improve this?Suggests Looking to Corvallis, OR for answers |
| 17 | Wants no charge for employee parking |
| 18 | "Your department should focus more on service to the university community rather than simply on maximizing financial gains from permit sales and parking fines." |
| 19 | Close more streets to vehicular traffic |
| 20 | Wants more pedestrian friendly campus |
| 21 | More perimeter deck parking |
| 22 | Park and ride is not convenient enough or reliable enough |
| 23 | No objection to lot specific parking or reduced cross parking options |
| 24 | Need to improve transit routes:more stops, more buses running, less commute time |
| 25 | Need more and larger signs for directing visitors to pay lots |
| 26 | Visitor parking should not be free |
| 27 | Potential causes of traffic Delays on Dan Allen:Pedestrian Crossings, Bus Stops, and vehicles waiting to enter the pay lot. |
| 28 | Location of Pay lot entrances and exits in regard to traffic flow |
| 29 | I like the day bus route more than the night service route, because it covers more area and the route is shorter |
| 30 | It is also less confusing if I could ride the same bus to get back home as the one that I hop on to go to school in the morning |
| 31 | a friend doesn't want to ride the night bus because the bus stop is further and she has to walk 2 more blocks than she would if the night route would make the same stop as the day bus. |
| 32 | Would like to stress the importance of convenient parking to DH Hill Library regarding B Permits |
| 33 | "Mind numbing ineffiencency of Wolfrides" |
| 34 | Suggestion:Let commuters park closest to central campus and move resident parking farther out. (Residents don't need to get to campus they are already here!Their cars are for convenience and can be accessed when needed even if parked further away) |
| 35 | Suggestion:Make campus streets one way and include bus lanes to reduce congestion due to bus stops. |
| 36 | Suggestion:Extend Raleigh Bus routes (especially out to growing Wake Forest) and make them more reliable |
| 37 | Suggests installing traffic control lights at Dan Allen & Cates and Dan Allen & Sullivan. |
| 38 | What about turn lanes for the Dan Allen & Cates and Dan Allen & Sullivan? |
| 39 | Have an A3 sticker but don't park in Dan Allen Deck, because B permit parking is closer - feels A3 usage in Dan Allen will increase once B spaces are lost |
| 40 | Limited Parking at the Dan Allen Deck |
| 41 | Size of Parking Zones in Dan Allen Deck |
| 42 | Difficult Pedestrian Crossing Dan Allen Drive |
| 43 | Difficult to park or use transit when working at multiple locations on & off campus |
| 44 | Difficult to park and loading/unload materials |
| 45 | The Dan Allen Deck parking zones may need to be recalibrated (Too many for one permit type, not enough for another type) |
| 46 | Top Floor of Dan Allen Deck is often closed due to icy conditions in the winter |
| 47 | Parking system does not meet the needs of this department for parking and transportation |
| 48 | The system has not been flexible enough, absurdity of citations, I.e. improper display of permit for being turned upside down in holder & ticketed for unloading materials with blinkers on. "...the sense I got of being harassed was real and lasting." |
| 49 | Polling Place Parking:Too many spaces designated for polling place parking |
| 50 | Too much Student Parking |
| 51 | Have Bonds been considered for building Parking Decks? |
| 52 | Please continue to allow Visiting Professors the option of Scratch-off B parking permits |
| 53 | Why was the Vet School Park and Ride moved to Carter Finley Stadium? |
| 54 | Bus drivers sympathetic to the plight of waiting riders cram the buses to full of people, creating unsafe conditions. |
| 55 | At 15 min intervals more people are waiting for the bus and not everyone fits on the bus, increasing commuting time. |
| 56 | Lack of C parking, or D parking for that matter |
| 57 | Concern about under utilized A parking in Dan Allen Deck |
| 58 | "…could a new, separate entrance, maybe off Hillsborough St., be considered for "paid lot" student users to cut down on the line of congestion to the Deck off Dan Allen Drive?My issue is that I have to wait a very long time to get to the entrance for th |
| 59 | Students park in the neighborhoods if they can't get on North Campus |
| 60 | Would like to see a hybrid system with some departmental vehicles allowed to park near the building.Graduate students should have some more flexibility as they assume more duties in the university |
| 61 | How to Mix?Should a certain # of students be allowed to purchase permits?How would we decide who is eligible? |
| 62 | Parking and Traffic need to be looked at as a whole |
| 63 | Short walk from either Deck.Maybe one more deck is needed on the periphery. |
| 64 | Believes decks on the sides of campus with a shuttle system that didn't require knowledge of a schedule would clear campus roadways of congestion and accommodate parking.(With some closer parking for people with disabilities & Departmental needs) |
| 65 | Consideration for emergency vehicles needs to be applied before closing off streets. |
| 66 | In regard to safety concerns raised by Achva Stein - Escort service averages 5-8 minutes response time. |
| 67 | Coliseum Deck is relevant to parking issues for North Campus, the length of the walk is not a deterrent. |
| 68 | we should look at real true demand rather than say we'd use parking as input for our transportation model. |
| 69 | We haven't thought about bicycles: bicycle usage dropped off with the advent of transit, could rise with opening of the western part of campus |
| 70 | Need to change peoples perceptions about how to move about campus. |
| 71 | Significant costs associated with Transit options.How might they get paid for? |
| 72 | If we go to pedestrian campus, dept vehicles should be given precedence with any residual parking going to faculty/staff |
| 73 | Should there be any change to the way student parking is prioritized? |
| 74 | There is a need for loading/unloading zones |
| 75 | Reasonability test:walking distances must be reasonable, i.e.. Walk between EGRC and parking lot is too far |
| 76 | Should parking be based on function? |
| 77 | Prioritization between Faculty and Staff parking? |
| 78 | Prioritize Faculty/Staff parking according to tenure? |
| 79 | Variable Parking Rates based on Salary? |
| 80 | The range between permits is not wide enough yet.There should be more cost-effective options for lower-paid staff and faculty. |
| 81 | Zones within Zones creates confusion |
| 82 | Current parking system isa schizophrenic combination of user defined and zone systems |
| 83 | Residents parking in major staff areas and areas that draw off campus populations, i.e. theatre |
| 84 | People arriving early get best parking - lacks equity |
| 85 | Lack of Loading and Unloading Zones |
| 86 | CVM lacks a place to unload sick/injured animals to emergency clinic |
| 87 | Difficulty placed on people who must use a vehicle in the performance of their job |
| 88 | Color code parking Zones to identify parking levels |
| 89 | Special Use space for buildings |
| 90 | Greater options for low cost/low income parking options |
| 91 | Getting out of work at 9:30 10:00 pm is a safety issue - do not feel safe working 5 - 15 minutes from my car. Hard to wait for an escort.I am not walking to take a bus to a distant lot with no security |
| 92 | Not enough spaces!If I leave my spot for any reason, no place to park when I return |
| 93 | Survey Question:"Assuming there are three components to Parking management (price, convenience, and supply) which approach to parking management sounds the most appealing to you?" Answer: d. None of the above |
| 94 | Disability Parking is a concern.There is not enough of it near the libraries |
| 95 | Remote parking does not work well for individuals who use their vehicles during the day to perform their job duties; I.e. trips to farm, MFMD, CVM, or off Campus meetings |
| 96 | The price of gas or groceries are not based on salary so neither should be the permit |
| 97 | Visitors and potential students should not have to suffer the aggravation of remote parking. |
| 98 | I think we are too far gone to be pedestrian friendly, definitely think it is a danger to ride a bike on this campus |
| 99 | Visitors to our building have to park in Dan Allen, pay to park, or walk in to get a permit and then walk back to Dan Allen to place it in their car. |
| 100 | Loading/Unloading access is needed at the back of Scott Hall |
| 101 | Students return to campus Sunday night with suitcases and groceries - shouldn't have to park so far away - |
| 102 | The type of parking provided for campus visitors depends on the type of visitor; for example, someone visiting that has equipment or supplies to unload would need to be able to park closer. |
| 103 | The time it takes me to walk from my parking space to my office depends on whenI arrive and what spaces are available for parking at that point in time. |
| 104 | Thanks so much for soliciting our feedback |
| 105 | I got a ticket for parking without my parking pass.I forgot to change my pass left my regular car in the shop.I know parking people have the ability via handheld computers to see who the car belongs to & if they have a pass.By the way, that car was |
| 106 | Enforcement should be focusing on people parking in employee lots who do not have a pass - even go so far as to tow them after a set # of tickets |
| 107 | Parking costs should be based on proximity to central campus (or vet or Centennial) |
| 108 | Increase bus service to run more frequently especially between 7:30 am & 9:00 am and 3:30 pm & 5:30 pm to accommodate Full-time employees |
| 109 | Remote lots should be cheap |
| 110 | Remove the useless "A" lot at the bottom half level of the Dan Allen Deck!It is almost always less than 1/4 full and is often empty!! |
| 111 | The Fair and right thing to do is to assign parking spots for employees that are here 5 days a week. Number the spots. |
| 112 | There are almost everyday cars parked in the Dan Allen Deck without stickers (parking permits)If spots where labeled and assigned security would only have to check every day, only if someone was parked there that should not be.The person assigned the |
| 113 | I don't think we should pay more, we pay enough. |
| 114 | There is no choice for parking, We must purchase a "C" permit even if there are not any spaces left to park in a "C" space.You have to fight to get to work, to beat everyone else and then walk to get to your office, after parking. |
| 115 | I am disappointed with the parking situation |
| 116 | Under question # 8regarding parking management components, How much would be "Very expensive" for plenty of close parking? |
| 117 | I'm a year round employee parking at the Dan Allen Deck and am required to buy a "C" permit, but C availability does not meet demand, especially when leaving and returning during the day. |
| 118 | People like the flexibility and staticcling permits. |
| 119 | one comment about parking for parents with young children |
| 120 | Bus Driver attitude; perceived as aggressive toward pedestrians |
| 121 | Comment was made that Faculty and Staff are here day in and day out year after year, while students come and go.It is unfair to allow student dedicated parking on North Campus, when people who come here every day to work can't find a place to park. |
| 122 | Students study/visit 24 hr a day at the College of Design (~700 students)Right now they park on the south side of the railroad tracks.They don't have permits for North Campus.Parking is close to residences.Not qualified to buy "B" permits. Graduat |
| 123 | Concern regarding how B permits are issued?Greg responded that it is managed through attrition. |
| 124 | Concern:Graduate Students being allowed to park on North Campus (TRN Responded that only those with disabilities are allowed parking on North Campus) |
| 125 | Grad students are on campus all hours of the night and therefore need close parking |
| 126 | What about street parking on campus streets?Is city street parking part of the plan?Response City streets aren't taken into consideration in the plan. |
| 127 | What can be done about parking for people late at night? |
| 128 | Can angled parking be used?You can fit more cars in that way. |
| 129 | At night there is no way to get to the College of Design.Shuttle?Should we use smaller buses that run more often?Students waiting in front of the Design building for 30 minutes |
| 130 | What about an evening parking permit? |
| 131 | Current system is too confusing, who can park where, and why, and when is too hard to remember |
| 132 | What about parking for student athletes? |
| 133 | Sign are too small and difficult to figure out |
| 134 | Concerned about safety of perimiter parking |
| 135 | A lot of students use City 2 hour parking because they perceive it to be closer to the core of campus |
| 136 | Need more cross walks across Dan Allen |
| 137 | What about raised pedestrian walkways? |
| 138 | Need better marking of pedestrian cross walks |
| 139 | Students face a lot of animosity from transportation |
| 140 | What about a Brooks Deck? |
| 141 | Good parking can influence a persons choice of whether or not to stay employed at the university |
| 142 | What about acquiring more land for parking? |
| 143 | Resdiential students need parking close to their residences |
| 144 | Not enough transit options for getting to vehicles in storage lots |
| 145 | Problem with transit is that it is not two way. |
| 146 | Would prefer to see buses running two ways every five minutes |
| 147 | Parking is avaialable, but people aren't willing to walk |
| 148 | Want larger parking spaces in Dan Allen Deck |
| 149 | Communication issue:suggest you communicate to the building liaisons and they can distribute to the people in the building |
| 150 | Transit service is not convenient enough to be relied upon for cross campus travel, ie Dan Allen Deck to Alumni Conference room takes 30 mins. by bus |
| 151 | What is the expected impact of the light rail system? |
| 152 | Difficult to find parking for the gym facilities and what's more I have an A permit |
| 153 | Disagree with moving parking further out.I work at the library and think Dan Allen parkingis too far away |
| 154 | A reduction in parking flexibility means there will be a need for better transit service |
| 155 | Bus service is too inconvenient to make use of |
| 156 | Have given up using the library because of lack of parking |
| 157 | How will the initiative for collaborative work betweendepartments and colleges be taken into consideration regarding transit and parking? |
| 158 | Congestion on Dan Allen needs to be looked at |
| 159 | Public transportation seems to be key in making the changes work |
| 160 | 10-15% need cross campus accessibility |
| 161 | Students and Staff should be given equal opportunity for parking |
| 162 | Residents should be limited to resident parking only |
| 163 | Likes seniority system for parking distribution |
| 164 | Should be no student parking in the Dan Allen Deck |
| 165 | What about lot specific parking but also have a placard for cross campus parking? |
| 166 | Why should people stationed in more remote parts of campus enjoy lower priced, ample parking? |
| 167 | Lack of shower facilities limits feasibility of cycling to campus |
| 168 | Support the idea of reduced cross parkingon North campus where walking distances are more reasonable |
| 169 | Residents need access for unloading things to their residence |
| 170 | Too many SV spaces that are not being used |
| 171 | Coliseum deck parking availability is good, but traffic has become a concern |
| 172 | What problems do new residential units bring and what is being done to address parking for those areas? |
| 173 | What about insufficient parking at the Carmichael building? |
| 174 | Bus Lane in front of Nelson took parking spaces without improving bus movement |
| 175 | Full buses discourage regular use |
| 176 | If you did have cross-parking, what would you do about parking for common use facilities such as the gym? |
| 177 | How can you pay for a deck when the capital cost is so high? |
| 178 | Fees based on salary |
| 179 | Increase use of meters to control and make available short-term parking |
| 180 | Professor thinks secretaries should not have to pay for parking |
| 181 | Why are freshman treated differently in terms of parking? |
| 182 | There has been talk about loading spaces near buildings, but what about ADA spaces that are needed around the library and other high demand areas. |
| 183 | No parking is provided for Non-NC State contractors who spend time on campus and charge time required to obtain a permit . |
| 184 | Concerned that that despite the comments are being recorded, there is no assurance that there will be any real response to the concerns and suggestions expressed.Don't want to simply go through the motions. |
| 185 | Way finding is a problem!Signs are not large enough to be of much use and if they are located near bus stops, which they often are, they are blocked by stopped buses. |
| 186 | Expressed having poor experiences with parking enforcement staff. Officers are perceived as being very aggressive. The opinion was seconded. |
| 187 | Signs are hidden by trees/vegetation |
| 188 | Burden of Proof is on student - Not very responsive to appeals |
| 189 | What happens to parking ticket revenues? |
| 190 | Release of the funds from citation revenues should be used to push back future rate increases rather than rolling back current rates. |
| 191 | Gate controls are necessary for B lots to prevent abuse by students who are confident that they will be gone before they can be ticketed. |
| 192 | Any effort to build smarter:parking under buildings and or a central parking Deck? |
| 193 | Parking cannot be eliminated from campus due to security concerns |
| 194 | Parking consideration seems to be an after thought to development - even regarding temporary parking dislocation |
| 195 | When moving parking off campus, i.e. Brooks Lot,is there any initiative with the city to improve conditions for pedestrians, i.e.. crossing Hillsborough?Hillsborough needs traffic calming measures, maybe round abouts |
| 196 | The Bus stop at the round about on Pullen is dangerous |
| 197 | Yarborough is gated, but has no pull-off for kiss and go drop offs, such a pull-off would help traffic flow in the area |
| 198 | Cross walks should be placed mid block so as not to interfere with turning movements |
| 199 | Speed on Hillsborough is an issue |
| 200 | Extend regular bus route service for those who work later in the evening |
| 201 | Dan Allen to Gardner Hall is very dangerous because of limited visibility.Frequent Pedestrian/Vehicle near misses at Yarborough near the southern end of the deck. Can't see whether the signal has turned. Drivers stop at the raised bump, but not at the c |
| 202 | Work at Dan Allen & Thurmond, hold D permits, because B & C type not available.Lack of accessible parking for workers |
| 203 | Concern about weighing of comments from meetings.How will the notes reflect the concerns of many verses the concerns of just one? |
| 204 | Many people have expressed concern and frustration with the mix of parking in the Dan Allen Deck.Too many A spaces, not enough C spaces. Sentiment echoed by others in the room |
| 205 | Concern expressed about the continuing loss of convenient parking for faculty & staff "who have dedicated 20-30 yrs and THEY will be the ones inconvenienced."(General support in the room) |
| 206 | Suggests sending the comments around to participants so that they may rank them by importance |
| 207 | "I work in North Campus in Leazar Hall, Going from Dan Allen all the way down to Brooks Hall is not practical - too Far" |
| 208 | The campus is bicycle unfriendly, mostly due to the rail road track which effectively divides the campus |
| 209 | I work until 6:00 pm which unfortunately falls between the Day and Night shuttle routes which causes long delays/waits(Student acknowledged it has been a while since they've experienced this and that the problem may have been addressed) |
| 210 | People try to avoid the night shuttle service as a direct trip takes 1 hour verses 10 minutes |
| 211 | Concern about updating data supporting wherefaculty and staff prefer to park |
| 212 | Some people in Tompkins Hall are holding on to their B spots so as to maintain their B permits (in hopes of change?) even though another category is actually closer. |
| 213 | If lot specific parking is adopted, how would people be prioritized? |
| 214 | Priority for parking should be prioritized based on years of service |
| 215 | Collaborative efforts could be thwarted by lot specific parking |
| 216 | Can there be online access to specialpermits with a password for temporary permits? |
| 217 | People doing research often have to transport materials to and from multiple locations, and the current system makes this very difficult to do. |
| 218 | There should not be a cost penalty for people who need higher levels of access due to their responsibilities |
| 219 | Can some of us who are interested participate further in the process? |
| 220 | I never received a survey, any possibility of re-opening the survey? |
| 221 | The survey was difficult to find on the website |
| 222 | Miscommunication :the word student has different meanings for different people and different contexts.Prospective students to the University respond "yes" that they are a student and are consequently denied permits and get ticketed when they park. |
