Note traffic, parking changes Aug. 18-21
As we welcome new and returning students to the campus, there will be some minor traffic flow changes implemented on campus Friday, Aug.18. The changes will remain in effect through Monday August 21. This is being done to ease the confusion and congestion often experienced with the residence hall opening. For those students and families moving into the residence halls, this information has been comunicated, and maps provided. Please be aware that a few things will be different during this period. It is important that you plan your routes prior to driving, even though you are already familiar with campus.
These changes have been implemented due to the significant impact construction is currently having on campus roads and parking areas. Please plan for the following traffic changes:
In the Wilkerson Complex area:
* There will be no left turn from southward Stanford Road onto eastbound University Avenue.
* There will be no left turn from lot 18 (parking north of the complex) onto southbound Stanford Road.
* Areas have been designated for trucks/trailers/RV's.
* Street parking will be allowed on Stanford Road and University Ave.
* No double parking on streets.
* Additional parking areas have been identified.
In the Johnstone/Fulton/Smith Complex area:
* Areas have been designated for trucks/trailers/RV's.
* Street parking allowed on University Avenue.
* No double parking on streets.
* Additional parking areas have been identified.
In the Walsh Complex area:
* Fifth Avenue North will be converted to a one-way eastbound, from Princeton Street to Harvard Street.
* Street parking is allowed on both sides of area streets.
* No double parking on streets.
* Areas have been designated for trucks/trailers/RV's.
* Additional parking areas have been identified.
In the Swanson Hall area:
* Cornell Street in front of Swanson Hall will likely not be open for persons moving into Swanson Hall. It is predicted to be open shortly after opening weekend. When it does open, it will remain one-way southbound from University Avenue to Second Avenue.
* Second Avenue is scheduled to be open for the Aug. 18 move-in, providing good weather and no construction delays. Once open, it will remain one-way eastbound from Cornell Street to Columbia Road.
* Cargo drop-off areas will be located on University Avenue near the Cornell Street intersection, and potentially on a portion of Cornell Street itself.
* If a portion of Cornell Street is used as a cargo drop-off area despite the road being closed, no left turn will be allowed from Cornell Street onto westbound University Avenue.
* Short term parking will be allowed on University Avenue, Memorial Union loop, Cornell Street west of Hyslop.
* No double parking on streets.
* Areas have been designated for trucks/trailers/RV's.
* Additional parking areas have been identified.
