Dear Campus Community,
We appreciate your continued patience and cooperation as we work to maintain and improve the safety and functionality of our campus parking lot. After a thorough evaluation conducted by Facilities, Public Safety, and the Office of the Vice President for Finance & Administrative Affairs, we have identified several new potholes and cracks that require immediate attention.
Our Immediate Plan for Repairs
To ensure everyone's safety and prevent vehicle damage:
- Public Safety will continue patrolling the lot to identify potholes and other hazards.
- Hazardous areas will be marked and blocked off with caution cones.
- Facilities will prioritize filling the potholes as part of our short-term repair plan.
Long-Term Solutions
While addressing these immediate repairs, we recognize that a full repaving of the parking lot is sorely needed. We are actively working on a comprehensive plan for resurfacing the lot to improve safety and overall usability. Additionally, Public Safety has proposed relocating the Security Booth further inside the lot to:
- Enhance safety for our officers and pedestrians.
- Reduce blind spots for better visibility.
- Improve traffic flow and help prevent traffic congestion on Guy R. Brewer Boulevard.
How You Can Help
We are committed to a collaborative approach to safety and campus improvement, and your input is invaluable. Please continue to report any hazards you come across on campus to Campus facilities at (718)-262-2200 and Public Safety at (718) 262-2222 so they can be addressed as quickly as possible. Many reported concerns are already being worked on, but an all-hands-on-deck approach will help keep our campus safe and accessible for everyone.
Thank you for your patience and partnership as we work toward both immediate solutions and long-term improvements to enhance our campus environment.
