Peters parking gone?

[JJacket]

Just what I need, to look out and see my ranchero leaking oil and transmission fluid from my high rise condo.

This document reads like a wet dream from an urban planning commission. Just like that the cars will go away. I agree with moving parking to exterior locations but we can't just get rid of it entirely. IMO the Student Center parking is on the edge of campus so isn't an issue.

Pretty much. It is right at Northside and Marietta. They do need to change the ingress and egress. Maybe change Ferst?

This is the correct answer to solve the Peters Parking Deck issue. Only instead of going up, the cars are taken down into a vertical shaft below Peter's Park.

As I said already, they can just put the park on top of the deck.

Campus has kind of started expanding across Tech Parkway, so the Student Center isn’t as “edge of campus” as it used to be. There was also some stuff in there about realigning Northside Dr. (not sure what that’s about).

I dunno, a lot of this kind of stuff has been in various master plans for decades (like no vehicles in the center of campus) with mixed results. Nothing is going to happen real fast.

If the goal is greenspace this could be done. The goal seems to be elimination of cars which would require demolition.

Don't need you anymore if you're gonna be like this.

It will also be interesting to see how long W21 parking remains. It's the most centrally located non-deck parking available.

It’s also the home of the best tailgate on campus.

I think you could make an argument for getting rid of parking at Peter’s or make a way to have parking only on game day.

You can’t get rid of SC deck or CRC deck.

It was a group streaking event. That's how the park got its name.

uGA had a similar event. Now it’s named Little Petey’s Park.

Stolen shopping cart to lug it all around in would complete the look.

Then use the shopping cart as a grill.

And if the goal is storm water management, imagine the amount of water a fully subterranean Peter's Deck could hold.

If you're dozing you're asleep

CSB: Once upon a time, Tech PD woke me from dozing in my car while I was parked in Peters. I was just resting before classes after having dropped my GF off at work. I had a permit. My guess is it was a wellness check and they wanted to make sure I wasn't dead.

Will the new lawn have coconut husks in it?

The illustration looks just like Peters looked in the 70’s
Not exactly an original idea

When did they close the 3rd street tunnel?

I think they only open it during game days. Became too much of a crime hazard years ago, dunno when they actually started closing it off.

So the hazard is just going to be mysteriously gone now for them to be able to open it 24/7?

The tunnel was like a teleportation machine back in the early 2000s. Walk through it and you’re instantly in the middle of Blackhawk Down when you arrive on the other side.

The best part of that is the food truck idea. Get some local companies to come out and Tech makes a cut

That's what they did on the Tower green this year. It was pretty cool.
