Yeah, I find that amusing too.

Last year, there were 3 to 4 OSU Vans that were chartering staff during events (I believe this was during the basketball season). They parked in the A/B surface lot by my office. CampusParc’s reason for them taking up this space was (and this is directly from their email to me): “The vehicles you referenced are vehicles rented by CampusParc to transport large numbers of staff during major events. They are too tall to fit in Gateway Garage and there is no other location to accommodate them within reasonable proximity of the Gateway complex.” There is a “C” lot, which is MUCH larger, 1/2 a block away from the A/B lot. The A/B lot holds maybe 50 cars (most of them used by A parking permit holders). The C lots in that 1/2 a block range holds hundreds. I’m sure these “staff” were the same “staff” that make hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. And I guess those “staff” can’t walk a half a block to go to the Campus Gateway. But, I can pay $40.27 a month to MAYBE find a spot near my office so that I don’t have to walk BLOCKS away. SMH.
