The Parking Lot of Almost

Every home game thousands of people fill its spaces and lines and it’s a great place to be on Saturday, but Sunday through Friday it’s a largely hated place by UK students. K-Lot is the biggest parking lot for UK students. A large majority of the UK drivers park on this part of campus. K-Lot is located on the far right side and right in front of Commonwealth stadium. This parking lot is located on south campus right passed Cooper Dr. and University Dr.  

K-lot may seem like just a normal parking lot, but that’s if you’ve never parked a car in the parking lot. One, the parking lot is far for the North and Center campus kids who have to park there and even some South Campus kids too. But the biggest problem of the parking lot is no identification of where you left your car. The parking lot right now doesn’t have any signs, numbered rows (some rows are numbered but aren’t visible), and none of the actual parking spots are numbered. Also, there are many unmarked no parking zone spots in the front of K-lot, which appeals to so many new students until they receive 150 dollar fine and a towed car.  

A big fix for the parking is to either have the people directing traffic like they do on game days or just painted numbers on the parking spots. What is the harm of putting numbers on parking spots or putting up numbers or letters on the light-post.  If you forget to move your car Friday night you’ll and have to wake up before the crack of dawn you’ll have no idea where you parked. Sometimes you forget where you left your car spending an hour looking for your car is something you shouldn’t have to do.
