In accordance with Minnesota State Statute 169.34, no vehicles may park in the roundabout or crosswalk areas at 21st Ave. S. and 7th St. S. The roundabout is a traffic control device for an intersection, and parking within the roundabout creates an unnecessary safety hazard.

Beginning immediately, any vehicle parked in the roundabout or crosswalk areas will be ticketed, and beginning Monday 11/27/2017 any vehicles parked in the roundabout will be towed immediately. Any questions regarding parking on campus can be sent to parking@augsburg.edu.

Augsburg College is in the process of implementing new guidelines for access to public spaces on campus. These efforts will prohibit persons under the age of 18 from being in campus buildings. Exceptions will be those who are accompanied by a parent or guardian and those participating in a College sponsored or recognized program. These measures are being taken to reduce incidents of crime affecting members of our campus community as well as create safeguards for the minors themselves. Temporary signage will be placed in regularly visited public spaces. Exterior building notification will be incorporated in to planned signage updates.

If unaccompanied minors are believed to be in campus buildings, please contact DPS at 612-330-1717. If you have any questions related to this implementation, please contact DPS Director Scott Brownell at brownell@augsburg.edu.
