CENTRAL AVE. SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS This summer Central Avenue will be getting a whole new look. The currently busy intersection will be renovated as a part of the Central Avenue Safety Improvement Plan. According to Phillip Poteet, assistant vice president for campus planning and development, students will gradually see the changes being made to the area starting May 1. “A lot will be done,” Poteet said. “The plan is to place a landscaped median on Central Ave. Sidewalks are going to be pulled away from the street and bike lanes will be added.” The Central Avenue parking lot will also see some renovations as a part of a different sponsored campus planning plan. “The whole Central Avenue parking lot will be closed for the renovations,” Poteet said. “New lighting will be added, we will reorganize the way the parking bays are, and there will be some landscaping as well.” While renovations are going on, commuter students will be encouraged to park their vehicles in the Southern Avenue parking lot. Students can look forward to utilizing the Central Avenue parking lot again the fall semester of 2011 when renovations are expected to be complete.
