UW task force narrows in on parking garage

[TexasTowelie]

LARAMIE -- While University of Wyoming Housing Task Force members are still discussing other options, some members said this week that building a parking garage on campus will be a priority of the planned dormitories construction.

Earlier this year, a consulting firm completed a study of UW’s parking and concluded that the university doesn’t need more parking, just better shuttles to the university’s off-campus lots.

At a Wednesday task force meeting, Transportation Services Director Paul Kunkel presented three alternative options to the parking garage plan, but task force members indicated the plan from Walker Consultants wouldn’t meet UW’s needs.

“We have to have a parking garage. Period. Maybe two parking garages,” UW Trustee John McKinley said. “We can analyze the alternatives to death, but we have to have a parking garage, and it has to get built into the bond funding as part of this project.”
