Stadium South Red Lot and West Blue Lot to Temporarily Close May 11

LEXINGTON, Ky. (May 8, 2015) — As part of the Commonwealth Stadium renovation and expansion project, the Stadium South Red Lot and Stadium West Blue Lot will temporarily close on Monday, May 11. This closure is necessary to accommodate resurfacing, repairs and the installation of islands in the parking lots. The parking lots are scheduled to reopen in August prior to the start of fall semester.

The CATS Summer/Break Route will be modified during this project; instead of the Red Lot stop, the bus will stop at two locations on University Drive. For the most up-to-date information, riders can view the actual location of all CATS buses on all routes by using Cat Tracker, a real-time GPS-based bus locating system at uky.transloc.com. Riders may also track the buses via the free TransLoc iPhone, Android and BlackBerry apps, by using their smartphone to scan the QR codes found on each bus stop sign or by using the SMS codes found at each bus stop.

UK students should feel minimal impact from this temporary closure, as May 11 also begins summer parking control. While all lots will remain on control, permit holders will experience more flexibility in student parking areas. For more information on summer parking, visit the Summer Break parking page.

BCTC students and employees will still have access to parking in the North Red Lot and the Green Lot; however, the connector road between the two roads is expected to be closed. Access between the parking lots will be via Cooper Drive.
