51�ԹϺ���

51�ԹϺ��� Davis will host a funeral this Friday (Jan. 18) for slain Davis police officer Natalie Corona, at 11 a.m. in The Pavilion at the ARC.

The campus is setting aside a parking garage and several parking lots for law enforcement officers from around the state and country, as well as family and friends and the public. As many as 6,000 officers and others are expected.

“We hope our faculty, staff and students are understanding of the need to do this as we join the city, state and nation in paying respect to this fallen officer,” said Chancellor Gary S. May, who issued a Jan. 13 message asking the campus community to focus this week on honoring officer Corona’s service and memory.

All campus activities, including classes, will continue as normally scheduled Friday, so the campus is taking a number of steps to alleviate the parking crunch. The campus also is giving notice to bicyclists of roads to avoid, paths that will be closed, and detours from student housing areas — taking riders around the funeral activity. Lastly, we have information on traffic impacts, which are likely to be the most severe as the funeral procession departs 51�ԹϺ��� Davis, sometime after noon.

LIVESTREAM

Parking

Officials are encouraging all staff, faculty and students to use alternative forms of transportation, if at all possible, such as public transit (Unitrans and the will be free for all), biking or walking. In addition, Transportation Services, or TAPS, will implement stack parking (with valets), to provide additional capacity in the (south entry), and (behind the Gateway structure), and (at the southwest corner of Old Davis Road and First Street). TAPS will not charge for parking Friday.

Other options: Park in certain remote campus lots where free Unitrans shuttles will come along every 10 minutes, providing service to and from the main campus; park on city streets or in city parking lots (at no charge and without permit regulations being enforced); or, as appropriate, explore with your supervisor the option of working remotely.

Be careful where you park: TAPS and the city will be enforcing laws against blocking fire hydrants and parking in other red zones.
