| Q. |
Who can park in the Convocation Center Garage? |
| A. |
Anyone with a valid ODU parking decal can park in the
Convocation Center garage. However, when there is an event at the Convocation
Center the garage will close or become “exit only” after
a certain hour. |
| Q. |
Where do I park if there is an event at
the Convocation Center? |
| A. |
If you are not attending the event you
can park in the parking area authorized by your ODU parking decal.
For example: if you have a commuter decal you can park in a commuter
lot or an overflow lot. |
| Q. |
Why is parking lot 40 closing? |
| A. |
Parking lot 40, located on 43rd Street
between the library and the parking garage, is being replaced by a
new 650 space-parking garage. |
| Q. |
How long before the new garage is ready
for use? |
| A. |
The lot will close for good in September
and the new garage should be ready for use in Fall 2005. |
| Q. |
Will piles have to be driven into the ground
for construction of the new garage? |
| A. |
Yes. The old asphalt will be stripped,
light poles removed and piles will be driven. There will be noise due
the construction, but it will be temporary. |
| Q. |
Why is 46th Street closed between Hampton
and Monarch Way? |

46th Street is the staging area for the
Technology Building renovation and will remain closed for about one
and a half years. |
| Q. |
Who controls the parking meters on Monarch
Way? |

The city of Norfolk Parking Office. |

I have a commuter decal and cannot find
