FROM THE PARKING DESK
Parking Services to Conduct Lot Maintenance During Spring Break
Parking and Transportation Services will be filling in the potholes in the dirt lots and alleyways during spring break. The lots will be graded and a dust suppressant will be added. Signs will be placed in the lots to remind and notify permit holders. Below is a list of lot closures during spring break:
March 26 — BSU West dirt lot
March 27 — Denver lots, located off S. Denver Ave and W. Beacon St. , and Grant Ave. and University; ES general lot, including the alley
March 28 — Manitou lot, located off of University Dr. and Manitou; Rec Center general, located off of Belmont and Michigan; Block 7, Michigan and Beacon lot; Lincoln lot, located off of Lincoln Ave. and Belmont St.
In addition, construction is well under way on the stadium skybox project. Phase 2 of construction will start on April 11. Parking and Transportation will reduce the number of general spaces in the lot to 130. Resident Hall Zone 2 sales were less than anticipated for the spring semester, so Parking and Transportation was able to increase the amount of general parking in the lot. Motorists are urged to read the signs carefully in the lot to make sure they are parking in the correct permit location starting April 11.
On April 6 a portion on the Towers general lot located west of Earl Street will be closed for the Morrison Center Encore series, “The Bernstein Bears.” General permits will not be valid in the parking garage. Motorists should plan to arrive early to park and use an alternative general lot such as the University Inn lot, east stadium or be part of Boise State’s campaign to “Roll with It” and use alternative transportation to get to campus.
On April 10, the Boise Schools Career Fair will be held in Taco Bell Arena. In preparation for the event, a portion of the general area of the west stadium lot will be closed on April 9. The west stadium, Bronco Circle and the Denver lot (located east of the Alumni Center) will be closed to general permits on April 10. Parking and Transportation Services expects the east stadium parking lot will be full by 9 a.m. that day.
