U of M Named Platinum Bicycle Friendly University
PTS Announces Two New
Parking Lots
One of the new lots, Lot C32 is located behind the
Wallin Medical Biosciences Building, which is near
6th Street SE and 21st Avenue SE. The lot offers
109 parking spaces and opened in November 2015.
Contract space is available on a first-come, first-
served basis.
The second parking lot is across the street from the
new M Health Clinic and Surgery Center along
Fulton Street. This lot has 118 spaces and will offer
patient parking through a lease with the M Health
Clinic and Surgery Center.
The League of American Bicyclists recognized the
University of Minnesota with a Platinum Bicycle
Friendly University (BFU) award, joining more than
100 visionary colleges and universities from across the
country.
“The University of Minnesota is thrilled and honored
to receive this award!” said Steve Sanders, Parking
and Transportation Services’
alternative transportation
manager. “Moving up from
our previous Gold designation
to Platinum status is exciting
for us. Our biking community
grows annually and we do
our best to respond in kind
and to serve their needs.
Our population really takes
advantage of our amenities,
including our on-campus bike
center and ZAP! programs.”
This year’s award entry
highlighted our maintenance
team’s efforts to maintain campus bike racks and
lockers. Additionally, our transportation engineer, Yilun
Xu, worked diligently to include campus bike facilities,
specifically in the Pleasant Avenue reconstruction
project.
This award program provides a clear roadmap to
building a BFU and the application has become a
rigorous educational tool. The four award levels –
platinum, gold, silver, and bronze – provide a clear
incentive for universities to continuously improve.
With the announcement of 49 new and renewing
BFUs from 31 states, the U of M is part of a cutting-
edge group of colleges and universities
across the United States transforming
campuses and communities. There
are now 127 BFUs in 42 states and
Washington, D.C.
“In its fourth year, we’ve seen the
Bicycle Friendly University program
reach an exciting level of growth
and momentum, as more and more
campuses support bicycling in new
and innovative ways,” said Amelia
Neptune, the League’s Bicycle Friendly
University program manager. “From
bike storage inside dorm rooms to
bicycle-powered music festivals, we
applaud this round of BFUs for raising the standard of
what a bicycle-friendly campus looks like.”

The project replaced high pressure
sodium lighting with LED lighting and
a smart control system. The new system
allows for real-time alerts whenever a
light is malfunctioning.
Additionally, the project has two
different sensors: daylight-sensing and
motion. The daylight-sensing feature
allows the fixtures to turn off when the
natural light meets lighting standards.
The motion sensor detects vehicle
movement and pedestrian activity
and then dims when the facility is not
occupied.
The LED retrofit has resulted in
significant fincancial and sustainability
impacts. PTS projects an annual
savings of $475,340 (including an
average maintenance savings of
$25,000).
Thus far, PTS has finished Phase 1 and
Phase 2 of the project. Phase 3 is in
progress. Eight ramps and garages have
been converted-- Washington Avenue
Ramp, 19th Avenue Ramp, 21st Avenue
Ramp, 4th Street Ramp, East River
Road Garage, Art Museum Garage,
Delaware Garage, and University Office
Plaza Garage. In the final stages of
Phase 3, parking lots are scheduled for
summer 2016.
The new lighting system not only
conserves energy, but it is also part of
our plan to keep our mission promise
of providing safe and convenient access
to the University for everyone. Our
customers’ personal safety and security
is always the number one concern.
SOUNDING BOARD
Idea/Issue: Can safety vests have more pockets or bigger ones? This
would be helpful for events! 6/8/15 Anonymous
Response: Because we are looking to purchase new vests, we are
looking into this suggestion now.
Idea/Issue: Rather than have personal clickers for full-timers (or perhaps in
addition), more clickers should be purchased for each car 8/8/15 Steven M. and
Katie H.
Response: Operations will get more of these.
Idea/Issue: Better PTS apparel for staff. Vote on design ideas and include all staff
opinions 6/30/15 Anonymous
Response: We understand concerns about this. When apparel is ordered, many
factors are considered during the decision-making process including the number
of pieces ordered, cost per piece, and average longevity of employee status. It is
not possible to include all staff in the process, but opinions are gathered from a
sampling of individuals.
Idea/Issue: Sharp edges on doors in office. Round off edges? 9/11/15 Art K.
Response: This has been completed. If you spot a problem, let Sandy know.
Idea/Issue: Purchase and distribute hand sanitizer stands by all public/office
space access points. 9/11/15 Art K.
Response: PTS has hand sanitizer bottles in the supply closet at TSB’s third floor
and in attendant booths.
Idea/Issue: Not enough packing tape hand dispensers to use for posting signs.
Buy a couple to keep in the storage room for operations use. 12/20/15 Steven M.
Response: Operations has resolved this issue.
Idea/Issue: There should be more variety in the beverages available. Get some
Country Time Lemonade from Sam’s Club and put it in the kitchenette for every-
one. 1/11/16 Anonymous
Response: PTS provides free coffee and tea in the kitchenettes at TSB, Fleet, and
Maintenance.
Idea/Issue: Handicapped parking symbols painted on the cement of the first
level of Oak St. Ramp are very hard to see. I parked in one and didn’t realize un-
til I got out of my car. Repaint or post signs in front of the spots. 1/21/16 Peyton
Response: Facilities staff looked into this concern and will remove the remaining
floor outline in the spring. Painting on concrete requires constant maintenance,
so PTS decided to use signs which are the only code requirement.
Idea/Issue: C50 is closing. Start operating a valet service in front of Bierman
Fieldhouse Athletic Building. 1/25/16 Anonymous
Response: Yes, Lot C50 is closing. PTS does not delve into valet operations due
to liability concerns and location challenges.

Kudos Corner: Recognizing PTS Employees for Extra Effort!
Our staff regularly goes above and beyond to get the job done and help people out. Here are

Hello, I was riding the 3826 campus connector from the St. Paul
campus to the Minneapolis campus at around 2 P.M. today. I’d like
to let you know that the driver of the bus was very diligent while
performing his job. His alert driving effectively avoided a collision
with a semi that ran a red light. I do not know if this is the proper
email to recognize this driver and hope that it finds its way to the
right people so that he knows that his active driving is appreciated.
Thanks,
David Morse

Hi, Karrie: I want to say a HUGE “thank you!” again for taking
such great care of our donors this morning. What an impressive
gesture on such a busy day. You really came through for not only
our donors, but me, and the Foundation & University as a whole. I
really do mean I owe you a coffee, or tea, whatever your preference!
Total lifesaver… Thank you, again! You are fantastic. Best,
Kalison Penovich, University of Minnesota Foundation

Hello, it occurred to me that a few months ago, at this time of day,
the campus connectors were so packed that it was virtually impos-
sible to get between the campuses. I have experienced no such issue
in over a month. I’m sending this as a thank you to everyone who
helped manage the routes and fixed the issue. You guys have done
a stellar job and I hope you can keep up the good work! Thank you,

Ross----good morning and I wanted to thank Linda on your team
there for helping me yesterday with a complex parking card is-
sue I brought to her that she resolved for me with a great deal of
customer service attitude. And she also engaged me with your team
there on another service issue I had and they all were very con-
siderate to work with -- not sure they hear this often enough but
wanted you and them to know! Thank you for a great experience
with our parking team!

Hello Ms. Cullen... I wanted to thank you directly for allowing Art
the time to speak on the NPA webinar Snow Removal Planning
and Prep on Tuesday the 15th. He did the presentation by himself
because our second speaker backed out at the last minute. He did a
great job and really hit it out of the park. He is an excellent speaker
and really showcased his expertise. In fact, in my opinion it was
the best and most informative webinar we have done in the last
four years. Thank you again to you and your staff for recommend-
ing him as a speaker...

Hello, I wanted to commend the driver of the St Paul Campus
Circulator. She drove the circulator this morning. She always
makes my morning and is so sweet to all of the students. Please
let her know that she is appreciated by students and really adds
to the polite, friendly culture of St Paul campus. Thanks!

I just wanted to write to tell you what a great job everyone did at
your venue for the Marina and the Diamonds concert this past
Friday. My daughter and I drove up from Iowa and most con-
certs we attend parking is such a hassle. I had purchased tickets
for the show and parking ramp. I figured I’d have to find a place
to park in order to go up to the box office to pick up my tickets
and I fully expected this to be a pain. I had found the parking
ramps but couldn’t find the auditorium so I stopped and asked a
gal standing outside the parking ramp wearing a vest and a radio.
She was very friendly and a huge help. She checked her list for
me to tell me which ramp I was in and informed me that I could
go right in to park. This was such a huge help for us not to have
to find parking just to pick up our passes from the box office.
Kudos to you for doing it this way. Also after the show the police
did such a fantastic job with getting traffic through. Being out
of the area I get very nervous coming and going from concerts
in the cities because both vehicle and pedestrian traffic are both
usually a nightmare. Everything went perfectly smooth and truly
could not have been better. Lastly the sound in the the Northrop
was fantastic. I’ve been to the cities for many concerts in venues
both huge and small. Even though we were in the very top row
we could hear better at the Northrop than than anywhere else
we’ve been in the Twin Cities. In the future I will be sure to keep
an eye out for other good shows and will definitely visit your
venue again and tell others to check it out. Thanks for a really
great pretty much stress free night, nicely done everyone at the
Northrop!
~ J. Luther
[Dillon and Farhiyo: Thanks for all your doing in regards to
Northrop events and parking. As you can see it does make a dif-
ference. Please share with your team… ~ Ross]
