Campus Parking Plan

Fall 2003

Existing Situation-Urban campus with no room to expand• Residential

neighborhoods to the North and East

• Fox River and Industrial property to West

• City of Oshkosh to the South

Campus is not pedestrian friendly

• Algoma Boulevard and High Streets are highly traveled routes into and out of the City of Oshkosh.

Parking Shortage

• A 2002 study indicates that the campus is short approximately 750-900 spaces for permit holders

• People are forced to park on neighborhood side streets

Parking shortage

•Waiting list for resident parking ranges from 300 – 500 students

•At peak times, 500 K-mart permits have been distributed with up to 250 vehicles parked there at one time

•Approximately 250 resident students purchase parking from the City Parking Utility, Oshkosh Police Department, and local businesses

•Commuter parking demand is greatest on Mondays and Wednesdays. With commuter lots filled to capacity, another 500 vehicles are parking on surrounding streets

Parking Complaints

“My expectation, however unrealistic, is that there would be an available parking space relatively close to my destination. My expectations appear to be too high.”

--Commuter student

“An answer that on the one hand agrees that there is a problem and on the other acknowledges there is no immediate solution is not an answer in my book.”

--Parent of a residence hall student
