It normally takes Robert Rodriguez 30 minutes to find a parking
spot that he considers decent.
But on Monday, to his surprise,
it took the undeclared sophomore
only five minutes.
“Sometimes you get lucky, but
there were a lot of spaces left when
I got to school,” he said.
“I normally avoid [Lot 49] and park in
the lot across Doug Russell.
”
During spring
break, Facilities
Management redesigned Lot 49, at
South Cooper Street
and West Mitchell
Street, and added
235 spaces.
“The new lot layout surprised me, but I like it if it
means better parking,” he said.
The redesigning included restriping the lot and removing the
diagonal parking and replacing it
with more horizontal and vertical
striping.
The parking lot upgrades are
designed to alleviate any issues
that may occur when construction
