Section 15: Security & Safety
| It would be nice to have more light in the area in front of Gaines Hall. |
| If campus police is going to start ticketing evenings and weekends in utility drive parking areas, put up signs there that tell a person it's not acceptable. |
| Do something about dangerous ice spears hanging off buildings. |
| Ice on sidewalk will happen, it's Montana. Even though the sidewalks are plowed/cleared, I have seen students walk through 6" of snow on a cow path rather than a cleared walk. I don't believe it will ever change, so don't think about that issue for too long. It's a waste of time and money. |
| The snow and ice are big problems. Lack of removal. Risk to safety. Parking lots are very icy. |
| Heated walkway. |
| Better snow removal on campus walkways. "Polishing" the sidewalks. |
| It seems that facilities quality is behind the times. For example, many chemistry labs are still not capturing their hazardous extraction waste. Ether, methylene chloride are still being evaporated out through the stacks. This should be fixed. |
| I understand the University wishing to minimize light pollution at night, but walking up the Mall after dark is uncomfortable when you reach Montana Hall. It is completely black and needs to be dynamically lit to retain its importance as the campus icon. |
| Make the Campus Police more visible on Campus…walk around ..I would feel safer. |
| Make sure that an emergency phone is located in ALL parking lots and busy areas. Also, whenever there is a new construction happening, make sure that the area is well lit at night (i.e. Chemistry Building site) to ensure comfort and safety. |
| Make a study of safety issues. Exactly who is afraid? And of what? Maybe blue lighted emergency phones on Campus are necessary. |
| Lighting safety during construction. |
| For the parking safety issue, perhaps the Eighth Avenue lot should be reserved for girls living in Hapner/Hannon simply by giving the tags and lot a different designation. I do not feel that Campus is particularly unsafe. |
| There is a need for street lights along the south side of the intramural fields along Lincoln. It is a safety issue. |
| Campus Police are incompetent and a HUGE liability. Two years ago a close friend broke his upper back & suffered from minor nerve damage. While laying motionless in front of Roskie dorm, waiting for paramedics, Campus Police were VERY insistent that he try to move BECAUSE they thought he was faking. He would have been a possible quadriplegic . NEVER LET THIS HAPPEN AGAIN. |
| Districts help with ADA concerns on the premise that most classes are within the pod. |
| The less you have to go back and forth across campus the less safety issues and access on a day-to-day basis. |
| Improve Campus lighting. At 4:00 AM on Campus, especially during construction there needs to be better security. More Emergency phones. |
| Make Hannon and Hapner boys dorms…move the girls to more secure areas. |
| Police facility is hard to find (visitor parking permits/security issues). |
| Lights at Kagy & 11th and Kagy & 7th are critical to support increasing growth on campus. |
| More stop lights are needed to move traffic out of the area better while providing super movement of pedestrians at key intersections (College & 11th, Kagy & 7th). |
| When developing parking and entrances into Campus, MSU needs to consider pedestrian safety. Collaborate with MDT and City/County Planning to ensure our traffic patterns maintain a high level of safety BEFORE the traffic causes too many horrific accidents. |
| Stoplights on streets through campus, allowing cars passage instead of waiting forever for students crossing the street. -OR- Bridge overpasses, allowing students to walk over the street. |
| Snow removal in parking areas needs improvement. Also, snow removal on the side of streets should improve for those of us that bike to school year round. Would it be that hard to shovel the bike rack areas? |
