The American has a interesting article about the parking permit increase at USM this year. The best part for me is quoted here:
He said that over the past two years, more than 1,200 parking spaces have been added campuswide.
The changes, however, have eliminated many of the prime parking spots near buildings and have moved them farther from the center of campus.
Anyone that has to endure parking at USM knows that it appears as though the number of spaces has gone down in the past two years. Not to mention the fact that if do the math from the stats quoted in the article, they are registering over 12,600 automobiles per year. That makes an extra 1,200 spaces look small in comparison.
