Parking at Montana State U.

I am both an alumni and a faculty member at Montana State University. I think it is fair to say that I love the university, work hard to make it better, and I believe that the students here and my colleagues are wonderful people that do great work. That said, this university has one significant area of weakness that I would like to see improved significantly. The people that park at MSU are the worst "parkers" in the world. (Yes, I just made that word up.) I swear that at least 1 out of ever 20 cars here take up 2 parking spacing because people are unable to park reasonably close to existing, parked cars. The common excuse people use is that the parking lines are covered with snow, but this is a stupid excuse --- just park within 3 or 4 feet of a car that is already parked!! Even when the line are visible, people park right over top of them! Please, I'm begging...the university police need to ticket people that are unable to park within 3 or 4 feet of the cars that are already parked. If you straddle a yellow parking line, you should get a ticket! Please, citizens of MSU, this is the biggest barrier between us and university nirvana.
