Subject:            Accommodations for inclement weather

Dear Mayor Foy:

I would like to suggest that the city consider instituting a "no pay" policy at the Rosemary Parking Deck on the days when bus service is suspended due to inclement weather.

I had a class scheduled at UNC today at 11 a.m.  Normally, I take the NS bus from Southern Village to campus, but because the buses were not running at the time I needed to leave, I had to drive my car.  Since I use the city bus system daily, I do not have a campus parking pass.  So, I parked in the deck which cost $6.50.

As I understand it, the University has contributed a substantial amount to the bus system and, if the service is not provided, it seems to me that accommodations should be made on those days.  (I also had major trouble getting home from campus the last time we had snow because the buses were being called in with little notice.)

Thank you for your consideration of this request.
