Following the recommendation, known as the Harber resolution, made by the SGA in November, Public Safety has re-designated parking in Lot 12 (the parking lot behind the Communications Building).

Steve Jahr, assistant director of Public Safety, said that the decision to allow commuters to park on the east end of the lot was unanimous. The members of traffic and parking authority committee met in partial capacity before Christmas and in addition to allowing for more commuter spaces, chose to extend staff parking by 30 spaces.

Jahr said these changes were made in the hope of "maximum utilization" of the lot.

SGA Sen. Laura Harber, who sponsored the resolution, said she was pleased about the changes. "It's good to see student suggestion taken seriously and acted upon," she said.

"I think these changes will really help alleviate [parking] problems."
