TAMUK’s streets get revamped
Texas A&M University Kingsville (TAMUK) has experienced an increase in potholes that have appeared on campus. These potholes have caused a small disruption when it comes to driving your vehicle around campus. TAMUK has issued their operations team to see what needs to be fixed now that they have started replacing the chiller piping throughout the university.
“The Campus Operations team assesses the condition of roads and parking lots throughout the year. This ongoing process allows us to evaluate and repair damage on a routine basis. The team strives to complete repairs with minimal interruption to the campus community,” Director of Marketing and Communications Adriana Garza said. “Occasionally, the maintenance schedule and the location of the work necessitate the closure of a parking lot or road section. It is our goal to complete repairs in a timely manner.”
With multiple renovations happening around campus, students are happy to know that the university is doing what they can to help keep students safe when they are driving.
Throughout the semester there have been some improvements to the roads and especially throughout the parking lots located on campus.
“I think that the potholes around the university have posed a problem for quite a while, however it is good to know that the university is doing what they can to help their students have better roads to drive on. Especially considering that students are required to buy permits for their vehicles to park around TAMUK,” Presidential Ambassador Regina Veloz said.
Professors have also shared their thoughts about the potholes. Keeping in mind that some students need to drive to arrive at campus because of their distance from home.
“If the school is responsible for that, if that’s part of what the students are paying for with their tuition and fees then yes of course [they should] maintain and upkeep the university,” Lecturer of Latin American Music Studies Javier Salinas said.
TAMUK continues to make renovations and encourages students to remain patient while they improve the parking lots and roads of TAMUK.
