Many students who attend the College of Staten Island drive to school. The College of Staten Island requires that all students purchase a parking pass in order to park at the college. The current price for a parking pass is $82.00 annually. If you drive through CSI on any weekday afternoon you can see cars parked, double parked, parked on the lawn and even behind dumpsters.
The overcrowding of the CSI parking lot is something that drove me crazy as a student. Apparently, students still suffer from this agonizing situation even today. On Facebook, there is a group named CSI parking is horrible which is trying to get CSI to accommodate students with more parking spaces. The group claims that “In fall 2008 there were 13,092 students and there are only 2,950 parking spaces” of which some were restricted. Will they do anything about the overcrowding? What do you think?
For those of you who commute daily, you can understand how fatiguing the process can be. This past week a toll has been added to the Tompkinsville train station to prevent people from avoiding the fee charged for entering or exiting the train at the Ferry terminal. Is this just or, is it just another way for the city to collect even more revenue from commuters who are trying to survive and make a living in this troubled economy.
