Construction causes parking chaos BY LIAM ANDERSON T he CLACKAMAS PRINT W ith the B arlow parking lot nearing completion, parking at Clackamas Community College is looking to be less of an issue. Isabel Al-Abed, project engineer and the contractor of the Barlow parking lot project, said the lot will be finalized by the End of October with “trees, light poles, plants, signs and trenches.” The lot will provide 609 parking spaces available to students, with 144 o f those spaces being available and usable right now. Although those spots were supposed to be available during the first week, the campus was unable to deliver because paving and striping wasn’t finished until the second week o f school. “ We hope people w ill follow the general guidelines o f parking.” - Peter Kandratieff According to one CCC student, Deeann Schaal, parking is difficult to find. “It’s pretty hard, especially this first week,” Schaal said. Bob Cochran, dean o f campus services, m entioned th a t the co lleg e s ta ff was m onitoring Barlow and noticed that there were 100 spaces in the lot that weren’t being used. Now that students have 144 new parking spaces available to them, with 465 more on the way, students should now shift their focus into avoiding any parking violations so they will not be fined by campus safety. W ith th is new lot, P eter K andratieff, interim m anager o f campus safety, said, “We hope people w ill follow the general guidelines o f parking. Within the lines, not double parking. Not blocking drive lanes.” The first tim e you are caught carrying out a parking violation, campus safety will leave you with a warning. However, if you are caught again doing the same violation, a campus safety officer will w rite you a citation which can range between $15-$ 100. During the first week o f school, they issued 41 warnings. O f those, 31 were for parking on the grass, two for double parking and 8 for blocking. There have been no citatioins as o f yet. Campus safety will be operating in the new B arlow parking lot, so it is w ithin student’s best interests that they get to know the Barlow lot as soon as they can. Kandratieff wants students to kno w that if they have any parking troubles, that campus safety is here to help in any way they can. “We’re here as a resource for the students and we want to be engaging with the students about parking issues,” said Kandratieff. “I f they have any, let us know.” If you have any parking issues or you are unaware o f where to park, contact campus safety at 503-594-6650.
