Hope’s Director of Op- erations, Greg Maybury, says that students should note that downtown, Maple Avenue to Lincoln Avenue; 6th Street to 10th Street, which includes the northern most section of Hope’s campus, will be excluded from the program. Within this area, cars must still be off the street by 2 a.m. According to Maybury, the existing program will have limited effects on campus because it will only overlap for a month with the school year. “The college was asked for input from the city, but we declined to take a position other than to support whichever direction the city chose,” Maybury said. If in the future the program is expanded to encompass more of the school year, faculty may have a harder time finding a parking spot. Currently, faculty and staff rely on the approximately 250 street parking spots that are dot- ted around campus for parking. If students are able to leave cars on the street overnight, there may not be enough space for professors when they arrive in the morning. “Most of our faculty and staff commute to campus daily, and a permanent on-street overnight parking program would severely limit their access to parking near their place of work,” Maybury said. Whatever the consequences, this summer’s pilot will provide a chance for officials to work out the kinks and, if the trial run is deemed successful, hopefully increase convenience for all of Holland’s residents.
