Lot could alleviate UNG parking problems at Gainesville campus
Renovations for sidewalks planned to aid students

University of North Georgia student Celia Molina leaves class Monday afternoon during summer semester classes at the Gainesville campus. Although parking is not an issue during summer classes at the Gainesville campus, it is during the rest of the school year, forcing the school to look at more options.
Students have been complaining about the parking options at the Gainesville campus of the University of North Georgia for several years, but their troubles may soon be over thanks to an existing park-and-ride lot off Exit 17 of Interstate 985. A plan for the lot’s renovation will include a sidewalk 1,500 feet long and 5 feet wide off Landrum Education Drive. Oakwood City Council voted Monday night to move forward on the $45,000 project with the college and Hall County, with each party pitching in $15,000.
