New Sidewalk Will Provide Safer Pedestrian Walkway Between Merrill Hall, Stone Center

06/25/2014


As the university strives to continually improve our pedestrian and driver safety each passing year, the Physical Plant will be installing a new sidewalk behind Merill Hall leading to Stone Center this summer.  Work should commence within two weeks and be completed prior to the fall semester.  This sidewalk improvement will alter the traffic flow in this area by limiting access to this PAB/Stone Center parking lot to Church Street and cutting off a continuous drive from Merrill Hall parking lot to Church Street.  This project will significantly reduce the number of conflict points for both pedestrians and vehicles while providing a separated, defined pedestrian walkway.  PPD thanks you for your patience and cooperation as this project is undertaken.
