Reply to comment by ImmobilizedbyCheese in Student death sparks conversation on pedestrian safety at VCU by CrassostreaVirginica

VCU needs to buy out altria or stop partnering with them. Absolutely ridiculous that they give up street parking for their semis and they bring in cops to direct traffic. Im sorry but your little hairspray play visit does not need to impact hundreds of peoople just trying to get around. I mean seriously, I had a late night class last year and they tried to charge me $10 to park in a garage that i PAID FOR A PASS to enter. Students are very clearly not VCU's priority.

I'm sorry that city amenities for residents cause inconvenience. Perhaps a rural campus would be a better option.

Ive been graduated lol. Just not sure why play goers get priority over residents and students?

Just part of city life. It's not every night. The Altria shows are a big part of why folks visit the city and spend money. If they didn't park in a garage, they'd be taking up street spots and that would be more inconvenient for residents.
