As
usual during the first few weeks of the 2009-10 school year at Northeast,
student parking has been an issue.
|
| As
of Monday, October 5, students will no longer be able to park
on the property belonging to St. Francis of Assasi Catholic
Church. |
According to
chief of campus police and security Dean Bearden, another problem
with parking has arisen. Bearden pointed out that there is another
issue with parking that is not always a problem.
Bearden said
students have been parking on the property located east of the intersection
of North College Street and Ellis Avenue and just south of Collegeview
apartments. This is not a parking area nor is it Northeast property.
This property belongs to St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church and
it has respectfully requested students refrain from parking in this
area.
The church
recently advised Bearden about the problem and he warned the student
body and entire Northeast community via e-mail and with signs posted
around campus.
Any vehicle
parked on church property starting October 5 will be towed at the
owner’s expense by Williams Wrecker Service located on North
College Street across from AutoZone, according to Bearden.
The church
could be held liable if a vehicle parked on its property was damaged
in any way and the church wishes to avoid that issue.
Bearden has
given students notice to understand this issue. As of October 5,
parking in this area is no longer a police/security problem. It
is the vehicle owner’s problem.
