University parking is a common conversation among Western Michigan University college students and administration. Kathy Garneau, a fifth-year student at WMU, created a parking initiative questionnaire in 2019 to help students address their problems with the parking system and motivate change. This year, many of the parking problems remain, and new ones have come to light as a result of COVID-19. âI have been commuting my entire time at Western, and I started pushing for parking reform through the parking services initiative, because I was really upset with the ways in which they were structuring parking around Arcadia Flats as well as how parking operates on East campus in particular,â Garneau said.
