All vehicles must be removed from the designated temporary lot within 24 hours or whenever normal assigned lots are clear, whichever comes first.

In lot D2 north and south, spaces at the east end of the lot are closed to parking for snow removal. Vehicles parked in these spaces may be towed at the owner's expense. Shovels will be available at Landscape Services and Security for those who can not wait for lots to be cleared. Owners of vehicles that are plowed in should contact Landscape Services for assistance.
