Also, City Park is a perfectly fine place to park and walk to the Ville.  Moro parking is handy in the summer and at non peak times but it garbage when the area gets the most business.  It's a hazard for people getting hit(not sure it even happens) or cars getting messed up from bar patrons (not sure that happens either).  At least that might be my angle to getting rid of it.  Agree there should be more residential apartments in there and rooftop bars.  Less cops would be welcomed as well as allowing some bars to stay open later.  While we are at it lets put some moving sidewalks in there so people who chose to stay dry and skip the lazy river can lazy stand their way to bars.

probably cost prohibitive, but an underground garage would be rough ridin' awesome.

except for those gully washers and toad stranglers.

There needs to be another parking garage on campus.

Nope. The opposite. Less parking garages.

Am I the only one who walked to class?

Have you ever been to a real college campus?  ever?   

serious question. 

We've got 1 parking garage and zero public transit.  it's a joke.

Every college campus ever has a shitty parking situation.  They never build enough lots/garages and they sell way more parking permits than there are spots available.  I feel bad for you suckers that don't/didn't live walking distance from campus.

Every college campus has free, university, public transit. 

Not at K-State. 

I lived on Sunset.  stone's throw from Calvin and Aggieville.  Over a mile to places like Throckmorton and Derby (don't know wtf I had Stats 350 in Derby, btw).  This is fine in the spring and fall.  Sucks ass in December-February.

KSU sucks parking/public transit wise. You guys sound like a bunch of tucks.

If you can't find parking on campus, go park at the foundation, and take the free shuttle to the union

A mile? An entire mile? Wow dude.

[Rage Against the McKee]

I've never been on a campus that is as condensed as K-State that had or needed student transit. I mean, what's it take to walk a mile, 10 minutes?

Also, isn't Sunset west of campus? How were you a stone's throw from Aggieville but a whole mile from Throckmorton?

[CNS]

Everyone's solution to everything is always another parking garage. Have I ever not been able to find a parking spot? Nope. Just drive a block away and park on the street you lazy dorks.

Bus system would eliminate not only the need for a bunch of parking, but a lot of DUI's too.

I'm not sure NK has ever been to Manhattan

One time, I got drunk and walked from 12th and Moro to my apt in west loop right off seth child.  Took me 45 drunk min to make the walk. 

[mocat]

there is a phenomenon in manhattan where crap that is not that far away relative to the world feels like impossibly far away. I remember living on 12th & Vattier and complaining about driving "all the way to Seth Child" to see a movie

[star seed 7]

One time, I got drunk and walked from 12th and Moro to my apt in west loop right off seth child.  Took me 45 drunk min to make the walk.

Once walked back from Westport to my house near 45th and mission, took an hour and picked up a filly on the way!

Seriously, though, Sunset is like a block from Throckmorton. Maybe Belvis was a mile away, but Throckmorton would still be one of the closest buildings to him.

[star seed 7]

most importantly, tex winter triangle park is so k-stateo and awesome.  agree that should happen.

I walked from Aggieville to Chase Apartments once, but I was too drunk to care to check on how long the trip took. Probably 30 minutes or so.

[GoodForAnother]

it takes like 8 minutes to walk across the entire town of manhattan

[DQ12]

Aggieville absolutely does not need a parking garage.  There are a billion places to park right next to Aggieville. 

I always parked in the gravel parking lot in city park.

1.1m to Throckmorton.  .6m to Aggieville.  google maps. 

My only point is that a real university, with 25,000 undergrad students, should have basic infrastructure that other real universities have.  I when I say "other" universities, I mean "every" university in the BigXII.  This isn't Haskell Indian College.

walking is great.  it's fantastic.  But, real universities have dedicated transit systems.  This has nothing to do with laziness or tuckiness.  It's about having the threshold infrastructure of a major university.

I'm out of school and could care less about campus parking and transportation systems.  Unless it was a PRT style one like in Morgantown that would zoom me to and from Aggieville and BSFS without all the road traffic.

[Kat Kid]

it is incredibly embarrassing we don't have real public transportation.

I love KStateo but that idea is awful.
