Result Killed By Committee
Remarks FAILED - Committee concluded that there was not a sufficient amount of students that this would affect to justify the cost.
Whereas UTA is known to have an inadequate amount of parking spaces; and
Whereas The parking spaces that are available to students should facilitate their walk to class without posing a danger; and
Whereas Parking lot #52 on the 1995-96 UTA parking map is used by a wide array of students; and
Whereas There is no sidewalk for students to walk on while going to and from classes; and
Whereas This forces students to either walk in the street with the cars or dodge cars while crossing the street illegally; and
Whereas This poses a serious threat to the health and safety of the students.
Be It Further Resolved That A sidewalk be constructed that connects parking lot #52 to Mitchell Street; and
Be It Further Resolved That This sidewalk be in place by Fall '96.
