John Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 i was the second person to get one lol. this is what you get for 50 dollars.the spots are free after 5 pm. if you work downtown and ride regularly, its not a terrible deal IMO. shit, i pay 100 a month to park my car downtown. i guess i can live with 50 a year for the bike...the spots were free last year as a trial to see how it works... they say the 50 is to offset the costs of signage and paint. i guess its also for three brochures and a kickstand coaster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natedogg624 Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 i love motorcycle parking privileges on campus. 15 dollars for the whole year gets you closer parking than what they A pass people get when they pay 300+ for parking.

John Posted March 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 yeah i wish the city's price was closer to OSU's...i remember when the MC permit was 5 bucks at OSU... damn 300% price increases although really, there is lots more MC parking now than there was a few years ago.

Benyen Soljax Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 can you get a pic of what the parking signage looks like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2wheels>4 Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 Yeah, I would pay 15 bucks a year, no prob. I don't go downtown that much, so I was pissed they set the fee so high, not worth it for me, but if it is free after 5pm then I feel somewhat less like kicking Mayor Coleman's ass. I figured it probably cost more to park in a garage for a year if they were charging that much, but like I said, I avoid downtown during the day like the plague. As Travis so astutely observed about me during our BW3s stop yesterday, "you don't really like people much, do you...." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagr Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 Capt. Where do you go to get the permit? And where do you have to put the sticker? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am glad I work on West campus only $150 a year for a "WA" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It mentions it on the tp.osu.edu site but it's very vague; all it says is something like "after 4[5?] pm, 2-wheeled vehicles can park in 4-wheeled vehicle spaces until 5 am". Does that mean we can park wherever the hell we want on campus in the evenings? That'd be convenient; not a huge perk but a nice convenience nonetheless.

John Posted March 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 You get the permit at the impound lot/violation bureau. 400 east whittier street. If you ever had a car impounded by the city its the same place. They are open 9-5 i think. The sticker goes on your front fork or it can be laminated and attached to the bars. It must be visible to the meter maids. Capt. Where do you go to get the permit? And where do you have to put the sticker? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Posted March 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 Yes I can. Ill post it when I get homeok here is the sign. this is one of the older ones... doesnt say anything about a permit. the permits just went on sale today so they havent gotten around to changing them yet. they said they are not going to start ticketing until april, just handing out warnings until ppl realize they need a permit.the pamphlet they gave me has these on it (scanned directly from the pamphlet)here is a link that has a list and map of all the spots.http://pubserv.ci.columbus.oh.us/transportation/Two-wheeled_info.htmits not for everyone, but if you live or work downtown or in the short north, it may be helpful for you. i work downtown so its a definite plus for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted March 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 yeah i was kind of miffed at the price too... but like i said, i pay 25 a week to park a car, so its a lot cheaper than that. although i could ride my bicycle and park for free lol.Yeah' date=' I would pay 15 bucks a year, no prob.

Paddy O Furniture Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 I have never bought OSU mc pass and never ticketed either...I have seen tickets being given twice in two years. If you don't have a pass it is a 50$ fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't have a pass it is a 50$ fine.i saw a guy parked in the garage thats out behind rpac... i forget the name, neil ave garage i think? its right behind like jennings hall and the psychology building... anyway, they taped a note to his windshield that said said "you must have a permit to park in here, next time i will have to ticket you"i was surprised. it was really nice of the ticket guy, considering that to get the job you have to be a real cocksucker. he must be a rider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Posted March 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 Thanks bro. i just wonder if i could use 1 pass on multiple bikes?the permit has your plate number on it... so maybe if you laminated it and hung it from the bars, and switched your plate you could probably get away with it lol... not exactly the most legal though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
