Parking tickets in Lot 6

People who parked at Cal State University Long Beach on Sunday night are probably 'citing' a reason to be upset.

According to a Daily Forty-Niner article by Matt Brown, more than 140 students received $40 parking citations after parking in Lot 6.

The tickets were given out after an unknown person moved the barrier blocking the entrance to the lot.

According to University Police Captain Fernando Solorzano, the lot was reserved for Pow Wow parking. (Pow Wow is an event held annually celebrating American Indian tradition and culture).

CSULB junior Daniel Beck — who usually parks in Lot 6 — said it was 7:30 p.m. on Mar. 12 when he noticed the barrier to the lot was moved to the side. He went into the lot, but an officer told him that he couldn't park there.

Beck parked in a different lot and went back to talk to the the officer who turned him away from Lot 6.

The officer explained that a barrier had been moved and told Beck almost every car had been ticketed.

A parking lot sign reads that students are allowed to park in the lot Sundays after 6 p.m., which probably was reason for many people to park in the lot.

People have 21 days from the date the citation was issued to appeal it.
