Practical Proposal Argument
Feeling stressed you pull quickly into the parking lot. Knowing you are already late for your ten o’clock class you realize you have to find a parking spot quick. Preferably something close in order to cut down on walking time. Frantically your eyes search up and down the rows of already parked cars in hope of finding that lone spot someone happened to overlook. Quickly noticing that there are no options available upfront you start to make your way toward the back of the parking lot. Striking out there as well you head to another lot, one that you don’t think will have reached capacity yet. Unfortunately it has, you are stuck now with no place to park and a class that you are already late for. University of Houston parking has struck again. The way that this situation ends most of the time is with students circling the parking lot waiting for someone to leave so that they can claim their spot. Being a commuter as most students are at the University of Houston I have problems finding available parking spots. It makes getting to class one time a difficult task, and for some students not worth the trouble of finding a parking space. The parking here at the university is clearly lacking and needs to be fixed. There can be new parking garages, more transportation from the parking lots on the outskirts of campus, as well as more parking lots with more capacity.
The University of Houston is inside the 610 loop and right next to downtown Houston. Being in an already crowded place I understand that there is limited room to expand for parking lots. There are also measures already being put into place in order to help solve this parking problem, such as the new parking garage located near the Cullen Lofts. This is something that is a movement in the right direction but not nearly what needs to be done in order to completely fix this problem.
