2013 Parking Pricing Proposal

As you are likely aware from previous notifications concerning the loss of G-Lot, Parking Services has been investigating options to deal with current and future parking challenges. Early identification outlines the following as the top three challenges:

1. The loss of approximately 1,000 parking spaces, or 20% of our total supply, to development.
2. The G-Lot spaces lost are the least expensive spaces on campus.
3. The inefficient usage of the remaining parking spaces (wasted space, empty areas, etc.).

Our proposed solution is to simplify and re-construct the existing parking structure in the following ways:

1. Two general permit types: indoor ($75/month) and outdoor ($55/month).
2. An outdoor permit will allow you to park in all outdoor lots, including visitor lots.
3. An indoor permit will allow you to park in all lots (indoor, outdoor, and visitor).
4. All reserved spaces will be eliminated.

We are hosting three information sessions to further explain the challenges, our proposed solutions, and to solicit your feedback:

We have created a webpage with more information on the proposed changes, a chart showing how the new rates compare to the old rates, and a map showing the lot locations. The webpage is: http://www.sfu.ca/parking/Fall_2013_Changes.html

We encourage you to view the webpage, attend an information session, and provide feeback - either in person at the information sessions or via email at parking@sfu.ca. Feedback will be accepted until Wednesday June 26, 2013.

We will review your feedback and post questions/comments/responses on the website within the FAQ section.

Thank you and we look forward to your participation.
