Some are utilized more heavily than others, as the map indicates. Click here for a closer look. (Sacramento State map/Andrea Price) After the city instituted two-hour parking limits along Elvas Avenue last fall Sacramento State students who had been taking advantage of free daylong parking outside the Hornet Tunnel were scrambling to find spots elsewhere considering the availability of plentiful parking on campus The issue returned to the spotlight when the city implemented its one-year Merchant Parking Permit pilot program along parts of Elvas Avenue in November 2019 after business owners complained that their customers weren’t able to park nearby “We don’t have a parking availability problem anymore We just don’t,” said Tony Lucas associate vice president for Sac State’s Business and Administrative Services which includes University Transportation & Parking Services (UTAPS) Lucas agrees that Sac State once had to work around inadequate parking provided the breathing room that makes parking off campus unnecessary there are 500 to 600 unused student spaces on campus and I’m talking about the lots that are almost completely empty,” Lucas said noting that the issue no longer is about availability  “We’ve had a problem with convenience," Lucas said And the parking structures fill up before lots do.” some students prefer to seek off-campus parking rather than pay for student parking permits currently costing $178 per semester and $116 for summer session The University provides 13,812 parking spaces for students The 10,813 student-designated spaces include 1,013 for the residence halls The balance of the spaces are specified for employees (1,912) and a handful spots for loading and other uses These lots regularly have parking spaces that go unused The University is limited in how much parking it can provide “The parking we have is all that the community around us allows us to build,” Lucas said. “On the busiest school days usually the first two weeks of the semester the congestion is on the roadways getting into campus That tells you that 13,000-plus spaces are probably enough.” Another factor is Sacramento State's efforts to create more on-campus housing reducing the need for as many students to commute to campus.  which houses 416 first- and second-year students set to open in 2021 and house 1,100 upper-level students, are a part of the University's push to relinquish its perceived “commuter campus” identity Administration Public Records Requests Looking for a faculty expert?

from the restored Museum to the inspiring cistern Elvas cemented a new role for itself on the Portuguese arts map forging partnerships with private collectors and Spanish institutions as dictated by good practice in the region The city council is largely credited for this but António Cachola and Ana Cristina Cachola are indeed the ones who have been able to enliven the city and the culture produced in Portugal – organising influencing and offering the city the selfless enjoyment of contemporary art they both came up with a concept that radically overhauls these concepts and schisms through a strong and vital collective and associative endeavour Festa da Arte em Rede da Região do Alentejo aptly translated into the acronym FARRA (PARTY in English) was precisely that: a celebration of all the lessons learnt in 2022 with new commissions and the opportunity to set new goals for cultural policies in Portugal is part of this concept that has yet to be properly explored and clarified from a practical standpoint called “Eurocity Elvas-Badajoz-Campo Maior” FARRA may be a relevant opportunity in this field as it is a focus for the cultural renewal of the European base project more visible in the cross-border ramifications and permeability than in the large coastal centres Ranging from the institutional to the independent from Portugal to the world and the other way around in locations that recognise Elvas’ unique heritage Derelict or long-closed places open up to unexpected dialogues (Coleção AA Rialto 6 with Henrique Pavão’s intriguing work); churches embrace a certain religiosity rituality and ancestry found in some of the works and artists (Coleção José Carlos Santana Pinto with Haris Epaminonda’s piece at Igreja da Ordem dos Terceiros – a surprising dialogue in its very nature and context);

images pulled from classical literature – from Homer to Dante from Camões to the oral tradition of the Nordic sagas – brought to mind and breathed into a restless and wandering spirit as it descends – as it falls – towards the cistern’s solitary we are almost urged to continue the descent Two boats float motionless on the still water in the background A red halo slides open like a portal to another dimension we are the ones who place them there and imagine them Charon is leading us on the definitive after-death journey;

and Regional Experts in close collaboration with the National and Local Authorities’ implementation Teams at country and city levels The implementation of the UNESCO Culture|2030 Indicators in Portugal and the city of Elvas was made possible thanks to the generous financial contribution of the European Union and the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA) The Workshop

of this size in Elvas a municipality in the interior of Portugal and in the cross-border region will allow its replicability in many regions considered less favored and also to scale up to other territories with higher density The learning achieved at this pilot scale can help guide applications in other territories of the country.” Deputy Mayor for Culture and Tourism Division Municipality of Elvas also delivered the welcoming message for the workshop it is expected to obtain relevant information to guide the planning of cultural activities and the definition of cultural policies for intervention in and with society An introduction to the methodology of the framework was presented by the UNESCO Regional Expert the UNESCO Regional Expert and the involved National and local
