Retractable parking bollards have been installed in Lot 80 outside the IU Indianapolis Campus Center. Photo by Parking and Transportation ServicesIU Indianapolis Parking and Transportation Services is adding retractable bollards in select campus parking lots.

The bollards will help the management of parking lots for special events such as commencement, Jagapalooza and sporting events. The bollards are easier to use, faster to open and close, and less obtrusive than traditional barricades.

The bollards have been installed in lots 80, 59 and 63, and will eventually be added to lots 83, 85 and 86. When the bollards are raised, that lot is closed for an event. When encountering raised bollards, do not try to lower them or enter the lot.

Parking and Transportation Services will continue to place signs in lots warning of upcoming closures.
