Relations With RIT
Although RIT created the concept of an RIT CollegeTown, Wilmorite properties was responsible for construction and now the operation of Park Point. The housing at Park Point is not associated with RIT's own Housing Operations, but is instead conducted by Wilmorite. Additionally, although RIT has its own Public Safety department, Security for Park Point is provided by Wilmorite's own Wilmorite Security.
There has also been a small student rally at Park Point over RIT's refusal to issue commuter parking passes to students living at Park Point. RIT students who rent an apartment at Park Point are considered to be 'On-Campus' for purposes of acquiring a parking pass. Therefore, they are ineligible to receive parking passes for the various academic parking lots around campus. A student rally was held in Simone Square in which students peacefully planned a course of action: formal petitioning via RIT's Student Government. RIT acknowledged that parking has become a problem, citing a deficit of nearly 1,100 parking spaces during the fall of 2008. In the mean time, more shuttle bus service to Park Point will be provided, with future emphasis placed on creating, among other parking improvements, additional parking spaces and more bike paths on campus.
Buses from the Rochester Genesee Regional Transportation Authority make stops at Park Point as both campus shuttles and city routes.

Famous quotes containing the words relations with and/or relations:
“She has problems with separation; he has trouble with unity—problems that make themselves felt in our relationships with our children just as they do in our relations with each other. She pulls for connection; he pushes for separateness. She tends to feel shut out; he tends to feel overwhelmed and intruded upon. It’s one of the reasons why she turns so eagerly to children—especially when they’re very young.”
—Lillian Breslow Rubin (20th century)
“Our relations to each other are oblique and casual.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
