The parking limitations at the University of Kansas for Daisy Hill residents who reside in Oswald, Self, Lewis, Hashinger, and Ellsworth halls (Templin has their own parking lot, reserved for them) and have Yellow parking permits have become increasingly more restrictive in the last semester than should be tolerated by the student body.

During the first semester students were required to enter a "lottery" to determine who would receive "Daisy Hill" parking permits and who would recieve "Yellow" parking permits, due to the ongoing construction of the Daisy Hill Commons, Self and Oswald halls and the demolition of McCollum Residence Hall, students resorted to parking in the shut-down Stouffer Place Apartments, only a few steps away from the dorms, which worked fairly well and was not an inconvenience to students residing on Daisy Hill, but as of the second semester, the Stouffer Place lot (Lot 114) has been shut down to all non-Jayhakwker Towers residents or construction staff, this is understandable due to the scheduled demolition of Stouffer Place, so logically, we should be able to park in lot 300 during this time, in the section that is designated for Yellow permits, unfortunately this lot has a restriction that no cars are allowed to be parked overnight (from 4am-6am), this limit is ludicrous and illogical, the only other two options are to park either in the small Burge Union lot, which gets closed and reserved for sporting events frequently, preventing resident parking, or to park in a Park & Ride that is nearly a mile away from the dorm buildings, paying students who not only pay for tuition and housing, but a $260/year permit to park at the dorms should not be required to park such an extreme distance from their place of residence.

What is being asked of the University of Kansas and the Parking & Transit office is to remove the overnight limitations of the Lied Center lot 300 Yellow zone, remove the parking restrictions during sporting events at the Burge Union, and allow students living on Daisy Hill who have Yellow Permits to park within a suitable walking distance of the Residence Halls.
