College Courtyard Apartments May 2008 Newsletter

The College Courtyard Is Nevada’s Best Off Campus Location

Location, location, location. There is nothing like the location of the College Courtyard Apartments. We are a half block from the campus and yet we are on a quiet side street. While living at the College Courtyard you can actually get up five minutes before class and still make it on time. No worries about catching a shuttle or trying to find a parking space when you live at the College Courtyard. This is just one more reason this is a great place to live.

As the final days of the spring semester wind down I want to wish all of you the best of luck on your final exams and papers. I know that most of you have worked very hard this semester and you should be proud of your accomplishments. As we head into the summer, please remember that many students are taking classes and that we need to ensure that we have a good study atmosphere. Keep noise to a minimum and be mindful of you neighbors. Many of our students work during the summer as well and need to get a good night of sleep. Your cooperation will be appreciated by all. Have a great summer.

Parking Is Free And Easy

As many of you know, the University of Nevada continues to increase the parking fees on campus. The University has parking fee increases scheduled every year for the next five years. Fortunately, the residents of the College Courtyard Apartments don’t have to worry about these increases. Our residents enjoy free parking that is close to the campus. With our students, instead of driving round and round looking for a parking space or waiting for a shuttle bus you can have another 20 minutes of precious sleep. That’s a real bonus and another benefit of living at the College Courtyard.

Watch the Gate

Please be very careful when driving through the garage gate. If the gate is going down, DO NOT try to slip under the gate. Once the gate begins to go down it will not stop if you press the button on the garage gate opener. It will only stop when it hits something and it could do considerable damage to both your car and the gate if this occurs. The gate is set to stay up an adequate amount of time for one car. You will be held responsible for any damage if the camera shows that you tried to slip through the gate inappropriately.

Message from Rebecca

The College Courtyard Apartments are gated for your protection. Some of you appear to be our “gatekeeper” as you continually open the gate for anyone and everyone. This is dangerous and a violation of your lease. By opening the gate to strangers you are accepting liability for any damage or injury that occurs on the property or to our residents. Guests can “buzz” for entrance and only the resident should make the decision as to whether they want that person to enter the complex. There is always the chance that the resident is not home and then we have strangers roaming about the building. Please do not open the gate for strangers and do not let strangers enter through the gate as you enter or exit the building.

Additional Security

To increase the security at the College Courtyard Apartments we have added additional bars at the south end of the building to prevent anyone from climbing into the stairwell and extending the front gate fencing down the front of the building so that no one can climb over the planter to get into the courtyard.

Parking is Free And Easy

As many of you know, the University of Nevada continues to increase the parking fees on campus. The University has parking fee increases scheduled every year for the next five years.

Crossing Lights To Be Installed

The following a is a Sagebrush staff report:

The Nevada Department of Transportation will install in-pavement flashing lights at two more crosswalks near the University of Nevada, Reno this summer.
The new flashing crosswalks will go in at the Virginia and 10th streets crosswalk and the Sierra Street and Artemisia Way crosswalk, said Lyle Woodward, UNR’s director of facilities.
Three people, including one UNR student, were struck by cars in February when crossing Sierra Street on 10th and 11th streets. All of them sustained injuries.
“There is a high volume of students who cross there and vehicles that don’t stop and go too fast,” UNR police chief Adam Garcia said. “And in that sense, it’s a problem.”
Signals were installed on College Drive at the intersections of Virginia and Sierra streets nearly two years ago. Those installations happened after a UNR student was hit at the Sierra Street and College Courtyard intersection in October 2005.
The new lights were approved earlier this year, but installation was delayed because of winter weather, Woodward said.
The crosswalk lights, which cost about $60,000 to install, are donated by private companies and installed by NDOT as part of an effort to test their effectiveness.
The City of Reno will settle on a model – solar-powered or connected to the power grid, for example – to purchase after all testing is completed in two years, said NDOT spokesman Scott Magruder.
“While you’re testing it they’re out there and they’re effective,” Magruder said. “The question is: which one is the best?”

Message from Jamie

The College Courtyard Apartments are gated for your protection. Some of you appear to be our “gatekeeper” as you continually open the gate for anyone and everyone. This is dangerous and a violation of your lease. By opening the gate to strangers you are accepting liability for any damage or injury that occurs on the property or to our residents. Guests can “buzz” for entrance and only the resident should make the decision as to whether they want that person to enter the complex. There is always the chance that the resident is not home and then we have strangers roaming about the building. Please do not open the gate for strangers and do not let strangers enter through the gate as you enter or exit the building.
