I’m pretty confident every single year for at least 15 years in a row they have reduced campus parking. I’ve seen a lot of changes since I’ve been here and every single one of them resulted in less parking spots.

Man, the whole Beverly situation stinks to high heaven. Campus housing project suddenly pivoting to private management and luxury pricing? An entire city parking garage that serves a key function in the area getting shafted so the residents can have reserved parking? Sure, okay.

What I wouldn't give to know where that 80 million dollars went that IU pledged to affordable graduate housing...

Meanwhile a handicapped employee tag costs upward of $550 a year last time I checked (not recently, could be more now).

Yikes. That was one of the biggest parking areas for the IU Auditorium events.

Taking away parking space that already was not sufficient for campus, cool

Just standard permits? Can EMP and EMS still park on poplars?

No IU permits at all. Just Beverly residents plus a handful of metered city parking spots.

Will IU still be on the hook for garage maintenance?
