One of the big controversies here at Eastview High School is how much it costs to park in the school parking lot. Many students are opting to just park in the ‘loser lot’ which is the lot across the soccer fields. It’s a bit of a walk, but its free, so students think that’s the better choice.
Other students believe that the now $120 parking passes are worth it. “Having to walk across the muddy lawn in the spring time, when the snow is melting, is not worth it I might not buy a parking pass first semester, but I have always bought one for the second semester.” States Jackie Tussing, a senior here at Eastview High School.
“$120 dollars is way too much to spend on a simple parking spot, especially when you can have a free one just a few more yards away.” States Ali Peterson, another senior here at Eastview High School.
In my opinion Eastview High School is torn between if they should pay for the parking pass, or if they should just suck it up and walk the distance to get to school. I personally pay for the parking pass because if you are late to school, you don’t have to walk very far too actually get into school. Or When its snowing out you don’t have to worry about walking through all of the snow. And like Jackie Tussing stated earlier, When the snow finally starts to melt the whole field just becomes mush and muddy, which is even worse to walk through then actual snow.
I think that if the school lowers the cost of the parking pass, less people will park in the loser lot, and that will result in the school actually getting more money, because more people would actually buy them. More people bought the passes when they were only $85, but now that they are $120 the loser lot Is getting a bit more packed.
I don’t know why they had to raise the prices of the pass, or what the money is even actually used for, but I do know that the price is a bit unreasonable, especially now.
