To ensure efficient snow removal from parking lots, the WVU Parking Management and Facilities Management Roads and Grounds teams have provided the following important reminders to employees and students:
When entering a parking lot where the Roads and Grounds team is actively working to remove snow, please be mindful of snow removal equipment within the lot and park in a cleared parking space when possible.
State vehicles parked in lots should be relocated to the outer edge of the lot, preferably in a corner or by an island, to allow for easier snow removal.
Gravel parking lots are more challenging to remove snow from, and deicing salts cannot be used on gravel. Exercise additional caution as you park and walk in gravel lots.
At all times but especially in these cold temperatures, drivers should yield to pedestrians in crosswalks and allow pedestrians to cross the street first.
The Roads and Grounds team works as diligently and as quickly as we can to remove snow around campus, but you may encounter a snow-covered parking lot that has not yet been cleared. If you find a snow-covered lot that you are uncomfortable driving or parking in, call the Parking Management Office at 304-293-5502 and we can redirect you to a nearby lot, as space allows.
For off-campus sidewalks or parking lots that need maintenance, utilize the City of Morgantown’s mobile app to report areas that need service.
