Create more parking spaces, The science needed to solve this dilemma,…
Create more parking spaces
Cost
How much?
Who is paying?
Where
Where is the best place to put one?
Do we have the space?
Where will the new roads be?
Timespan
How long will it take?
Necessary?
Is this the right solution?
Will more people drive with more parking?
Is this what the people want?
Pros?
More money for JMU
Easier to find parking
Less likely to be late
More places to park for anyone at JMU
More roads, leading to less traffic
Cons?
Actual cost of creation
Endless construction for current students
Pollution from creating more parking
More parking equals more cars which equals more environmental pollution
Other solutions
Carpooling
Covid makes it harder
Better transit system
Make it easier for students to get to campus using harrisonburg transit
Less people drive
People do not want to do other things
Driving is easier
Stop selling more parking passes than actual spaces
Sell only the amount of spaces we have
If it was possible
Is it ethical?
Is it sustainable?
Is it cost-effective?
Will prices for parking change?
The science needed to solve this dilemma
Formal Science
We have to use logic to actually solve this dilemma in the first place.
You need math not only for the cost of everything, but you also need math for measurements of everything.
Physical science
We have to understand the physics behind actually creating the parking spaces.
We have to understand the chemistry that goes into creating the pavement and the paint that lines the pavement.
Social science
It has to be an ethical solution.
Earth and Space
We need to think about the world in which we are building on.
