In response to reduced state funding, WSU will end its lease agreement on a park-and-ride lot at 21st Street and Oliver at the conclusion of the spring semester. The move comes as WSU anticipates a major increase in main campus parking spaces by the end of the year. The information was shared last week at a WSU Student Government Association meeting. The closure of the 21st Street lot will help ensure that funding is available for a proposed parking structure near the heart of campus -- without raising parking fees for the 2016-17 academic year. The parking structure will be located immediately south of the Rhatigan Student Center. The move will also help ensure that the WSU Shuttle System, which is largely funded with state money, will continue during the 2016-17 academic year, offering free park-and-ride service from the Hughes Metropolitan Complex at 29th and Oliver.
