Let's face it, parking is no easy task in this day and age, and this can be considered especially true if you happen to be a local student attending California State University, Long Beach (or as we more lovingly know it, CSULB). Day in and day out we face the perils that our parking structures have to offer, and feel the squeeze around our wallets every semester as an added bonus. Few students are left with choices when money is concern, and it is at this point that many resort to the only off-campus parking free of charge on Los Altos.
Unfortunately, according to a recent article in the Union Weekly, this might all quickly change thanks in part to Long Beach City Councilman Patrick O'Donnell.
The idea is simple, to reduce the influx of students parking on Los Altos (and to reduce the amount of complaints received by residents of the area), Councilman O'Donnell has proposed that certain streets near CSULB become preferential parking zones. Residents of the area are being given the opportunity to voice their opinion through the mail, and CSULB is sweetening the deal by offering to meet the neighborhood half-way on the cost. No big deal, right? While residents of the Los Altos area will only need to pay about $16 per permit, we STILL have to pay $123 per semester.
Quite fair, wouldn't you agree?
