Parking and Traffic Impact on University Drive

Due to the football game and street paving, no parking on University Drive will be permitted from Saturday, Oct. 3 through Tuesday, Oct. 6. Anyone with a valid E permit or Motorcycle (M) permit who normally parks in these spaces will need to park in another E lot or structure or M space. Also, the metered spaces on University Drive will not be available during this project.

During these two days of paving, University Drive will be open to vehicle traffic in both directions, but bicycle lanes will be closed. Pedestrian walkways will not be affected. Motorists are encouraged to use caution in the area. Flagmen will be present to assist with traffic control and pedestrian crossings.

This project is expected to take two days, with the paving occurring at night. However, as always, construction work is weather-dependent and the timetable is subject to change. Employees and students should plan accordingly and allow extra time in arriving to work or class.

Career Fair to Impact North Campus Parking October 7-9

From Wednesday, Oct. 7 through Friday, Oct. 9, the 2009 Career Fair will significantly increase visitor parking on north campus. This will affect parking availability for students and employees who normally park in Parking Structure #5, next to Kennedy Book Store.

The top floor of the parking structure will be reserved for career fair vendors on Oct. 7 and Oct. 8. The floor consists of 139 parking spaces.

If the structure is full, employees with valid permits may park in another E lot. Students with C5 permits should call (859) 257-9680 or contact the Parking Structure #5 office, located on the first floor, via intercom or an in-person visit, for alternate parking options.

Employees and students should plan accordingly and allow extra time in arriving to work or class.

Members of the campus community are encouraged to tune into 1700 AM (WQKH 253) to hear campus parking and transportation information. The station broadcasts 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
