Ferg Parking Deck

So the whole Ferg Parking Deck situation is driving me crazy. I don't know how many of y'all have to park there, but I, personally, think it's totally ridiculous that there's no pedestrian entrance on the dorm side of the parking deck. The only pedestrian entrance in the parking deck is on the other side, across the street from the Ferg.

So, for those of you that don't live around here, there was this one area where students could enter the parking deck on the dorm side; however, apparently the University didn't like students climbing through that tiny hole, so they put up bars to prevent that, while all of the students were away for Christmas Break. Less than a week later, the bars had been bent so students could fit through. Then someone eventually removed a couple of those bars to make access easier. So it remained that way for a couple of months and then about two weeks ago they decided to replace the bars and put up a chain-link fense behind it. Well, that didn't last long either... like two days later some went and removed two of the bars and actually cut away and bend back the fense.

It should be OBVIOUS that a pedestrian entrance is needed on that side of the parking deck. I don't understand why the University refuses to create an entrance and insists on continuing to try to prevent students from entering on that side. No attempt has worked and it's pretty obvious how desperate students are to enter there. It would be much easier if they just gave in and actually created an entrance, rather than continuing their efforts which, thus far, have amounted to the effectiveness of leaving footprints in the sand, only to have them washed away almost immediately.
