Special Event Parking Regulations
Special Event Defined
A special event is defined as
any event on the LCSC campus that expects guests in attendance other than
employees and students; an event that invites the public onto the campus and
therefore requires parking needs not addressed by standard LCSC parking
permits. Examples include, but not limited to, athletic events, conferences,
performances, and entertainment events that are open to the public.
Special Event Categories &
Accommodations
Special event categories will be
defined upon expected attendance outside of employee and student attendance.
The categories are defined as follows:
Category 1: Expected guests 50 or fewer: accommodation involves the
issuance of visitor parking passes
Category 2: Expected guests 51-500: designation of one parking lot with
overflow on 11th Avenue parking lot and signage posted
Category 3: Expected guests 501-1000: all parking lots open to guest
parking with signage posted. Lewiston Police Department will be notified within 15 days of a Category
3 event.
Category 4: Expected guests 1001+: all parking lots open to guest
parking with signage posted; traffic control personnel will be available for
traffic flow at event location and surrounding areas, and pedestrian assistance
in case of congestion. Loading and unloading zones will be designated and
monitored by traffic control personnel. Lewiston Police Department and Lewiston
Community Development will be given a notice within 30 days of a Category 4
event.
Special Event Attendance
Expectation
Expected event
attendance will be based upon estimates provided by event hosts. Each
event sponsor will be asked for an estimated attendance and LCSC Security will
be notified at least two
weeks of the event to allow for proper planning. Hosts will be asked to provide
information on transit such as the use of buses and the requirement of a loading
and unloading zone.
Special Event Signage
Signs will be posted in each lot
indicating the lot is available for public use. Event hosts will be directed to
notify attendees either before or at the time of the event in regards to parking
regulations. Signs are posted by the Activity Center and Williams Conference
center directing guests to overflow parking.
Overflow Parking Safety
During events that require the
use of the 11th Avenue overflow parking lot, a Security officer will
do periodic patrols of the parking lot. Buses will be instructed to park in
the 11th Avenue parking lot to increase available spaces in the
immediate event location. The lighting is checked nightly and is ample along
walkways to and from.
Parking Permit Hours
Parking lots are permit parking
only Monday-Friday 7:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. All parking lots are available
before or after these times for public parking. Parking permits are not
required during summer, winter, and spring breaks.
Alternate Parking
Alternate community parking lots
and a shuttle service will be explored for special events hosted on campus
during parking permit hours with an expected attendance of 400 and over. A
parking agreement exists with St. Joseph Regional Medical Center for use of
parking lots south and west of the Radiation Oncology Center during non-business
hours.
Traffic Flow
During designated events, LCSC
will work with the City of Lewiston in regards to traffic flow to alleviate
congestion and provide greater safety to guests. The LCSC Security office has
certified flaggers on staff and will assist in the carry through of the traffic
flow plan. Agreements with area agencies will be pursued to assist with traffic
flow.
