Before this starts to sound like an attack, we'll give credit MSU parking for staying out of student fees and being self-sufficient. Keep it that way and keep the free lot. Paving the lot and adding better lighting would be a plus, but to charge students to use the lot would be just another shot to the wallet's of many students.
The Parking Advisory Committee (PAC) made recommendations on Nov 27th to upgrade gravel lot 23 (aka "free lot"). Paving and lighting & improvements may mean an end of the "free lot" as PAC is recommending a $40 academic year permit effective Fall, 2007.
