De Bell Drive Faces Safety Concerns as M-A Students Use It for Overflow Parking
De Bell Drive, located near the M-A's Oak Grove gate, has become a popular off-campus parking spot for students, leading to concerns among local residents. The increase in student parking has raised issues related to safety, property damage, and the responsibilities of the school. Residents have reported that the narrow and curved nature of the road, which lacks shoulders, makes it unsafe for pedestrians and cyclists. The presence of parked cars exacerbates visibility issues, especially around blind corners. Some residents have noted that students sometimes drive over flowers and other property, causing damage. The situation is further complicated by the limited availability of on-campus parking permits, which are distributed through a raffle system, leaving some students with no choice but to park on De Bell Drive.
