We have approval from the City of Coralville to park on Oakdale Road on Sundays and holidays. However, there are some restrictions:
In the block between Abbie Ct and our driveway, we must honor the “No Parking Here to Corner” sign so that fire trucks can access the houses in that development. That means no parking from that sign to Abbie Ct. We also should not park within 5 ft of the fire hydrant. Finally, please leave the crosswalk clear for pedestrians to walk on the sidewalk to the front door of UUS.
The Coralville police recently stopped by to give us a warning that they will begin ticketing parking infractions on the street, so please be cognizant of where you are parking!
A few other reminders:
Park to maximize the number of spaces of street parking. Don’t leave half a car’s length between you and the next car.
Follow the arrows in the UUS parking lot. Turn right at the first drive to loop around by the front door and out the second drive.
If there are other spots available in the lot, please reserve the charging station parking spots for electric car charging. It’s fine for non-electric cars to park there if there are no other parking spots left in the lot.
Leave the fire lane along the side of the building clear except when actively loading or unloading to the kitchen entrance.
Overflow parking is available in the UI lot to the south on Oakdale Rd and the Kirkwood Regional Center to the north on Oakdale Blvd.
Most Sundays there will be a shuttle driver available to bring you to and from the south UI lot. Look for a car waiting with a “Shuttle Driver” sign in the window. (But we can still use more shuttle volunteers! Contact Kelly O’Berry to volunteer: kelly-oberry@uiowa.edu)
