Parking Alternatives For Commuters During Lane AVenue Garage Construction

The construction of the 1,400 space Lane Avenue Parking Garage (closure of the Tuttle Parking lot) is scheduled to begin on Monday, April 28, 2008 at 5:00AM. The loss of 400 surface parking spaces during the construction will impact daily parking availability and may create a “ripple effect” in other areas of campus as customers relocate to new areas. Please consider the following alternatives:

Customers with Garage Keycards
A and BG1 parking permits/keycards may park in the Arps, Northwest and Tuttle Park Place garages, and CG1 parking permits/keycards may park in the Tuttle Park Place and Neil Avenue garages, where space is usually available. Area events do impact availability since the Tuttle Park Place garage is used for hourly parkers attending events in the area. An events calendar can be found on the Transportation & Parking Services web page at http://www.tp.osu.edu/Events/calendar.shtml that will give you information regarding scheduled events and the parking impacts.

Customers with Surface Parking Permits
B and C parking permits (for daytime parking) and WA, WB, WC, CX and CXC permits (after 4PM weekdays) may find that the nearby surface lots fill just a bit earlier than usual (we anticipate the area lots filling by 8:30AM instead of 9AM as in the past). Parking alternatives include:

• The Riverbank parking lots (off of Olentangy River Road) have convenient access via stairs to Woody Hayes Drive and nearby CABS stops at the St. John Arena or Ag Campus locations.
• The parking lot behind Vivian Hall (off of Fyffe Road) is conveniently located near the Ag Campus CABS stops.

Remote Park and Ride Options
Customers displaced by the lot closure may downgrade their central campus parking permit to a less expensive west campus or CX permit. There are two transit options to access this area of campus.

NEW! - Tuttle Shuttle Service Details
The new “Tuttle Shuttle”, will begin service on Monday, April 21st, 2008. Shuttles will run every 20 minutes from 6:40AM - 6:00PM, Monday – Friday. Stops include: Gerlach Hall, Fawcett Center, Buckeye Lots, and RPAC. This route will have specific time points that the bus will depart each location as noted below.
