• Lot 47 North – Lot will be closed Saturday and Sunday for re-striping, lot will reopened for students Monday morning.

• Lot 38 – The demo crew along with two concrete crews will start in the morning, with a scheduled completion no later than August 20th.

• West Street Improvements – The drainage valley and the ADA ramps have been poured and the street striping is currently under way. This block of West Street will re-open sometime over the weekend.

• Seal Coating Projects – 1st Street and 3rd Street have been completed and are scheduled for striping in the morning, streets will be open to traffic sometime Saturday afternoon.

• Parking Meter Installations – Adding 12 visitors meters on Oak Street from 4th to Mitchell the 12 spaces will be striped but the meters won’t be installed till later in the month.

• Parking Gates /West Street Bus Stop/Misc Repairs- Once the concrete crews complete their work on lot 38, they will move to the gate entrance(s) at F-13 and lot 39. They will also address repairs in lots 26, 30 and F-10 then move to the West Street Shuttle Station.

West Street from Mitchell to Nedderman Drive will be closed this Thursday starting at 9:00 a.m. The street will not re-open until late Sunday afternoon. This closure will allow us the time needed to install new ADA ramps and replace the concrete drainage valley which is poor condition because of past flooding and heavy traffic on this street. During this closure anyone needing into Parking Lot F-10 should use Nedderman Drive and turn right on to West street up to the parking lot entrance. Students needing into Parking Lot 47 should use Nedderman Drive or 4th Street during this period. We will have signage on the barricades at West and Mitchell.
