Parking in an already reduced number of spots will be even more limited Tuesday because of the installation of Chancellor Randy Woodson.
NCSU Transportation will make changes to the parking area surrounding Reynolds Coliseum, including the Coliseum Parking Deck and the Jeter Bays area.
Christine Klein, public communication specialist at NCSU Transportation, said the Jeter Bays area will not be available for student parking.
“The general public can park their vehicles in the Coliseum Parking Deck. Only ‘C’ permit holders will be allowed to park in the lower level pay-lot area, which can be accessed via Dunn Avenue or Cates Avenue. Jeter Bays will not be available for parking to the students,” Klein said.
Thirteen “C” parking spaces in the Hillsborough Square Lot will also be available for the event.
“Although parking options are available, there will be lot of people in general. I encourage the faculty, staff and students to think ahead and make other arrangements to reach the event venue — either ride Wolfline, walk to the event or carpool,” Klein said.
According to Klein, Wolfline will run normally that day, although some traffic delays are expected.
“People should keep sufficient time in their hands to reach the event, as the Reynolds Coliseum area will be very congested with regular University traffic as well as the event traffic,” Klein said.
Kim Paylor, transit manager of NCSU Transportation, said traffic assistants will be present at the venue.
“The most important thing students should know is the pay lot will be closed to the general public from 6 a.m. until 11 a.m. Traffic assistants will be present to assist with parking and traffic control. Students should try and make other arrangements to get to the event,” Paylor said.
Paylor said Transportation is also working to inform the community ahead of the event.
“We are distributing fliers at all the related parking lots in the Coliseum area so that the students, staff and faculty are aware of the parking changes and can make arrangements to reach the event venue on the day of the event,” Paylor said.
