One more thing that should be a discussion point on the value of parking is what occurred in Stillwater last year at their homecoming event where a gathering of fans near the street led to a horrible car-pedestrian accident that took the lives of several people there. Both TU and especially the city should be aware of the possible danger of having too many people parking in the nearby neighborhoods and forced to walk the streets near campus. More close by event and student parking and having the city allow more of it should be the goal. Safety is a factor too. Neither fans nor students should have to walk the streets in danger of being involved in an accident.
