April P&T Updates
April 30 – Upcoming Emergency System Testing on Bowe Street Deck
On Wednesday, May 2, from 5 am to 7 am, Facilities Management will be onsite to test the readiness of the electrical systems in the Bowe Street Deck. This test, performed annually, ensures that the emergency lighting, elevators, etc. will work as they should in the event of an actual power outage.
Please note, during the testing period, lighting at this facility will be lowered to emergency levels intermittently, and entry/exit gates may be raised. Elevators should continue to remain operational throughout the test.
A VCU Parking and Transportation representative will remain onsite during the testing to ensure that traffic flows smoothly.
April 25 – P Lot Closed from 7:30pm to 5am until May 24
April 18 – WCSD Exit Lane Closed Tomorrow
On Thursday, April 19, from 8 am to 12 pm, one exit lane in the West Cary Street Deck will be closed to customer traffic while crews perform emergency drain line repairs. As a result of these repairs, the middle lane will be used as the primary exit lane during this time.
The primary entry lane will not be affected, and the rear exit lane, which opens onto Parkwood Avenue, will also be available.
April 13 – F Lot Temporarily Closing for Testing at 11pm
We have been notified that contractors will need to access the F Lot to perform soil testing in preparation for upcoming construction. As a result, the F Lot will be closed to subscriber parking, beginning at 11 pm tonight. This facility is expected to reopen at 6 pm tomorrow, April 14.
During the closure, you will have access to the N Deck, located at 615 N. 10th Street. Your hangtag permit or VCUCard will grant you deck access. In the event you encounter any issues when entering or exiting the facility, please press the “i” button, located on the entrance/exit lane reader, for further assistance.
April 4 – Construction Project on 14th Street May Impact RamRide, April 4-25
We have been recently notified that the city will be performing major repairs to the water main on 14th Street, beginning on tomorrow, April 4. Work is expected to take place through April 25, from 9 am to 4 pm, Monday through Friday. Please be advised that you may experience longer than usual travel times on both the M Lot and R Lot routes as RamRide navigates past the construction area.
Additionally, there may be intermittent closures to the 14th & Main Street (northbound) stop during various times throughout the construction period due to street inaccessibility. During these times, impacted passengers should utilize the 14th & Bank Street stop when traveling to Sanger Hall.
All passengers are encouraged to monitor the status of RamRide in real time through the RamRide tracker, available via VCU Mobile or vcu.transloc.com.
