Next Tech Meeting June 13th. 7:00/7:30pm E51-376
New features, changes in Perl 5.26 [Bill and anyone else with opinions] *** Parking Alert. *** Recent changes in MIT Parking Dept web pages (parking , visitors, public ) no longer allow un-permitted parking after-hours. (This is a natural response to several other East Campus parking lots being eaten by new building sites for campus expansion.) Only legit parking is Cambridge meters (late hours!) and paid lot/garages. (Too Much details below) Also, construction detour is even longer than last time if driving, Wadsworth to/from Mem Drive & Amherst St to Amess both closed, only access by car is Wadsworth to/from Main St east-bound. Come by Train, Bus, Bicycle, or Foot if you can! (Parking at MBTA Garages are convenient to T and not overpriced, unlike most in-town garages.) ( Anyone with ideas for sites with safe gratis parking _and_ good MBTA access, let me know ! ) Boilerplate -- Tech Meetings are held on the 2nd Tuesday of every month at MIT building E51, Sloan School Tang Center [not the other Tang building!] nearer to Kendall Sq than Mass Ave. (directions). Talk begins at 7:30. Refreshments in the hallway prior. RSVP for count encouraged but not required, to [email protected] or Boston-PM list, by 4pm Tuesday. Bill Ricker [email protected] . . . . . . . E51 ceases to be extra awesome as multmodal destination, now merely great (T) and A/V. > "Visitors who are not hosted by an MIT department may pay to park at an MIT > lot located on the corner of Mass Ave and Vassar Street (139 Mass Ave). You > may call 617-258-6510 for current rates and availability." (Reading in context, Hosted => given a paid voucher that hosting Dept buys from Parking Dept, so i don't think how we get our rooms counts as "hosted" with Parking.) > * Parking at MIT without a Permit > MIT parking permits are required for all vehicles on MIT property. > Vehicles without MIT parking permits parked in any MIT parking area will be > subject to ticketing or towing. > * After Hours > Anyone with a valid MIT parking permit can park his/her vehicle in any > parking facility on campus after 2:30 PM, Monday through Friday, and all day > on weekends and MIT holidays. Please note that parking is only allowed in > spots that are not otherwise reserved. Change here is that permits for _any_ lot now valid in _all_ lots after 2:30; previously permits were _not_ required per website after 5 and in reality after 3, but now no. Parking is at risk. Cambridge meters and the pay lots and garages are the only safe options.
