Parking at Calvin College has been taxed due to the construction
of the Venema Fieldhouse. In response to this issue, it is proposed
that Calvin expands it's Go!Calvin shuttle service. Currently
Go!Calvin is only offered to students living at the Glen Oaks Apartment
complex. This map shows the density of off campus commuter
students in green. This density indicates a large percentage of
Calvin students living in Eastown and just West of Calvin's Campus.
The proposed Go!Calvin routes will encompass these areas. Actual
route schedules would be centered around the :50 minute class
schedule so that shuttles would arrive on :50 past the hour and
leave at :10 past the hour. In addition, to make the DeVos, Prince
and Spoelhof parking lots more accessible and to benefit on campus
students, it is proposed that a shuttle be started that continuously
circles the campus. This shuttle will have several prominent stops
in order to accommodate all students. The Commons Annex would
serve as a the Central Station from which all shuttles operate.
