1. Rice Parking wishes to communicate a couple recent changes.
* The Beer Bike Track is now open to biking during daylight hours everyday unless there is an event. Please make sure prior to riding that you do a safety check of the track and surrounding flagging to make sure nothing will impede your ride. Those who choose to use the beer bike track do so at their own risk.
* Gate 54 (closest parking control gate to the South Stadium Lot in West Lot 5) has been relocated to the street between the two lots to provide better lot security in that area. West Lot Commuter parkers (with proxy card) and visitors (with credit card) may still use West Lot 5. South Stadium Lot parkers (with proxy card) will now gain access to their lot through Gate 54. Visitors need to use West Lot 5 since South Stadium Lot requires a permit.
At Your Service,
The Rice Parking Team
