We have noted in previous posts that progress on the UCLA
Grand Hotel seemed leisurely whenever yours truly dropped by with his trusty
cell phone camera. However, there is now
a big hole at the work site for the Grand Hotel where once Parking Structure #6
stood as you can see from the photos taken last Thursday. Many parking spaces were removed by the
demolition. A small number will be built
under the Grand Hotel for use only by
the Grand Hotel’s guests, not by general campus parkers. (The Hotel will have fewer spaces relative to
the number of rooms being built than similar commercial hotels on the rationale
that guests will arrive in taxis, buses, bicycles, rickshaws, or whatever, but
not by ordinary cars.) Faithful blog
readers will recall that an analysis by the campus Faculty Welfare committee
back in 2012 indicated that the per-space reimbursement to the parking
authority for the space losses due to the Grand Hotel was well below either
replacement cost or what had been charged to earlier projects. You can find that report at http://issuu.com/danieljbmitchell/docs/fwc6-12-12minutes-packet. [pdf
