• D.2 - Enhance the Experience of Moving About the Campus Problem: Access to Core Campus From Major Parking and Outlying Facilities is Inefficient and Unwelcoming The connections between outlying campus destinations and the core have been rather haphazardly developed, and there is little evidence among them of the Celebration of Pathways. In some cases, such as the residential area at Daisy Hill, virtually no effort has been made to develop the connection or to enhance the pedestrian experience in using it. In the future, with the adoption of such patterns as Satellite Parking and Pedestrian Core, these connections will become even more important. Each existing connection should be surveyed to evaluate its efficiency and the quality of the experience of using it. In future site selection for new facilities, particularly Satellite Parking, evaluation of available connections to core campus and the full development of those connections should be a part of both program and budget.

Action Item D.2.1 – Through walking and driving surveys, analyze existing campus pathways, including trails through farm and forest, and make plans to enhance and improve them, or to relocate or eliminate them as appropriate. Prepare a manual of guidelines for an ongoing program of pathway amenity, addressing paving, planting, benches, lighting, trash receptacles, handrails, traffic separation schemes and other improvements, including a committed plan for maintenance.

Problem: Delivery and Removal Traffic Has a Negative Impact on the Environment of Core Campus Delivery and removal logistics for buildings in core campus are not wellcoordinated and controlled to minimize their impact on users. The most striking example is of food service deliveries to Gladfelter because of their frequency and involvement of large vehicles, but every building contributes
