Even better. They are finally repaving St. Mary through campus. Hopefully, they'll be done before the fall semester starts.

UL's first parking garage will be open when students return in January for spring classes. The parking garage has been a multiyear project riddled with delays ranging from weather woes to escalating construction costs that pulled the project back into the design phase - that was in 2005. "There are a few things the contractor has left to do," said William Crist, UL physical plant director. "The university is purchasing security and gate equipment. We can't open without the proper safety in place to make sure it's a safe facility to operate." In fall 2002, students voted to increase their parking and transit fee for the construction of a parking tower and other transit improvements. In 2005, the original five-story, 500-space design was reduced by a story because of rising construction costs. And bids for the parking garage project didn't close until May 2006. Back-to-back hurricanes Katrina and Rita also slowed the process. The rest of the story Marsha Sills msills@theadvertiser.com

The red and white Ragin' Cajuns buses will start making the loop from Cajun Field to Rex Street at 6 a.m. today. The bus rides signal the start of the spring semester on UL's campus. Drivers can expect increased traffic near UL's campus and South Louisiana Community College, which also starts its spring semester today. And as classes begin, so does the hunt for prime parking near or on campus for those who weren't lucky enough to win the on-campus permit lottery. But one place students won't be parking is the university's long-awaited parking garage. The parking garage is complete with the exception of some punch-list items, but it will be another two weeks before installation of security features for the structure will begin, said William Crist, UL physical plant director.

Ridiculous. The progress on the garage has been at an absolute standstill since December. I don't see how you can blame the weather for the minute details that have to be added for the garage to be operational, especially since the weather has been pretty good for most of the past two months.

I hope there is a good reason for the delay, although I doubt it.
