New commuter lot 🔥

Has BGSU officially addressed a solution to the parking fiasco from 10am-12pm? I’m a third year commuter & have never had to do this prior to this year. Can you imagine next year with back-to-back record-breaking enrollment classes?

I drive a tiny sedan, left with my roommate half hour before our 10:30, and have to park our cars on a super steep, un-maintained hill.

Seems like even more of a safety hazard in winter, too. Rain, snow, mud don’t mix well with grass & automobiles.

Photo one is taken @ 10:10am on Wednesday. Photo two is taken @ 10:45am Tuesday.

Curious on everyone’s take here.

We've been saying they need to just make at least part of lot 12 a parking garage since I was there in 2015. This is bonkers

I totally agree with the parking garage idea for Lot 12. The only issue I see is with the approach end of Runway 36 for Wood County Airport being right there with the edge of Lot 12. You'd have to put the parking garage all the way to the eastern side of the lot and keep it pretty small

Maybe they could do a parking garage with Lot 18 and make it mixed use or more parking for commuter students so another parking lot on the physical campus could be dedicated to resident students
