Parking permits will be more expensive and harder to attain next semester, university officials said. During Associated Students Board of Directors meeting Tuesday Joe Ferrer, director of parking and transportation, said 3,000 to 4,000 additional parking spaces need to be created on campus to curb current traffic congestion. To accomplish this goal, the university will build two parking structures by 2005. The first is an $18.7 million structure located in Lot D. It will add 1,600 spaces and is slated to open in January 2004. The second is a $14.6 million struc- “Students ture located in Lot B.
