71 Per Cent

This plan would allow 71 per cent of all
persons coming to the University to park within
five minutes of their ultimate destinations. The
average annual cost per space user on the
Central Grounds would be $52 and $40 for
Birdwood.

Incorporating a transit system through the
Grounds under this plan would cost each user
from $20 to $52 per year on the average,
according to the consultants. Under this second
concept 12,070 spaces would be provided on
the Central Grounds and 3,775 spaces for the
student enrollment and staff at Birdwood.

A third concept developed but not
recommended by the consultants would
provide a high level of service and convenience.
This concept, which would total $25.7 million
in construction of parking spaces, would
provide 18,425 parking spaces on the Central
Grounds and 5,975 spaces at Birdwood.

Under this plan all faculty and staff
members could park within five minutes of
their places of employment and all students
with five to 20 minutes of their classes.
Seventy-five per cent of students living
off-Grounds would park within five minutes of
their classes. Under this program, which
provides for no transit system, the average
annual user cost for parking spaces would be
$87 for the Central Grounds and $95 at
Birdwood.
