11/9/2010: Here’s a nice moneymaker for DPS: Rent 100 parking spaces from Peacehealth for $25 a month, then sell parking permits for them for $400 a year. Earn a bit more by selling, say, 120 permits for the 100 slots. See UO’s contract with the Peacehealth parking garage here. Of course, this is way, way cheaper than the Arena underground parking garage. But Frances Dyke is going to make students, faculty and staff subsidize that garage anyway – the athletic department needs your support.
