The tentative date is Sept. 21 at 6:30 pm. Location is TBA. This is an SGA-sponsored event so please be there. You can ask any questions here, and there will be a presentation with resolutions. Remember that any resolution has costs. Raises in price are good. Please explain this to people who complain. The money goes to making sidewalks more accessible and parking improvements like paving, lights, etc. They want to make parking look nice like the LAB parking lot. Stay positive about this issue!
