Have you ever found yourself driving circles around BC’s lovely campus in search of a parking spot? Desperately waiting in the parking lot for someone to walk to their car so you follow them to their spot and steal it? Have you ever put a traffic cone in a spot to save it for yourself? If the answer to any of these is yes, you’re probably a current BC student with a vehicle. While I can’t help you at all with this problem, I can give some suggestions as to where a parking lot could go on campus. So here you go.
1. Underneath the Caf
This is the perfect location because then you could have a hidden parking lot and have access to food at the same time. BC could also make the caf a drive through, increasing the number of students served per minute by like 100. And they could also name it the Lin Lot, which would be pretty cool.
2. In a fountain
There are so many fountains on campus, might as well put them to good use (motorcycle parking, duh.)
3. On top of the rec parking lot (Parking Garage)
This is actually a feasible location. There is already a parking lot there, it wouldn't be taller than the Abbey and there are already construction trucks on site, how convenient?
4. Tear down The Joe
The Joe is super old and holds the fewest students on campus, so why not put a parking lot there? But then that adds to the problem of not enough dorms on campus…
5. Float one on the Missouri River
What could be better than a parking lot with a view? Located on the beautiful Missouri River, you’d have a short hike to campus and you could fish after you park your car, how fun!
