Permanent Sidewalk Closure

Site clearing equipment has begun to arrive at the Student Recreation Center Expansion site (south side of the existing facility). Fencing around the entire site is scheduled to begin 5/20/10 with site clearing to begin as soon as the roadway/sidewalk fencing is in place. The site fencing will remain in place for the duration of the entire project (through 2012).

The sidewalk being removed is the section that meanders through the trees on the south side of the Student Recreation Center. This section runs from the south-east corner of the SRC to the bridge crossing the blue line stream.

The detour route is accessible and is as follows:

North to South: From the south east corner of SRC, cross Walton at the existing cross walk, continue south along the walk paralleling Walton, cross Walton to the west at the existing crosswalk (next o the blue-line-stream). This walk reconnects where the removed sidewalk left off. 

South to North: At the blue-line-stream bridge, continue east along the sidewalk and cross Walton. Continue north along the sidewalk paralleling Walton. Cross Walton to the west at the south-east corner of the SRC; this cross-walk reconnects where the removed sidewalk left off.
