Parking Lot Progress Report

As we enter the final phases of the parking lot project, there will be some congestion along Poorman Drive, as well as the parking lots adjacent to the drive (#1,3,5 & 7) and the Bus Stop area.  Tomorrow the parking lots adjacent to Poorman drive will be closed for striping and/or sealing, but there will be ample parking everywhere else on campus.  Poorman Drive will remain open, but restricted to one lane.  On Friday we will also be moving the Bus Stop from the north side of the road across the street to the south side, which will allow accessibility to the pickup point to remain the same.

After the remaining lots are striped we will complete the project by striping the roadways.

We appreciate your patience and cooperation, as always.
Hugh Garvey, Asst. VP Construction
