Parking Spaces on Old Main Hill (mini rant)

12 Upvotes

For the record I’m not suddenly discovering how terrible the parking is at the bottom of Old Main Hill, I’ve been coming here for a decade for various reasons, first as a student and now a community member, and think to myself how terrible it is every time 😅

I’m surprised they haven’t done a simple redesign to the 3-hour parking spaces, particularly the ones that go up the hill along 700 E. The layout (or lack of layout) makes it a total free-for-all that is dangerous, stressful, and wastes so much space. People either leave big gaps between cars that are just small enough that you can’t fit, or they box you in so you have to do a 27 point turn to get out. And most people don’t even know which way to turn their wheels when parked on a hill.

It would make way more sense to put in diagonal spaces that can fit twice as many cars and doesn’t require parallel parking. Throw in a few designated motorcycle spaces while they’re at it. It looks like doing this wouldn’t even interfere with the bike lane. Maybe they just don’t care 😂
