Second Street to be converted to One-Way Street
In order to more effectively serve the students living in the Ridgecrest and Paty Communities, this week Transportation Services and Construction Administration will be converting 2 nd Street from a two way street to a one way street, West bound, from McCorvey Drive to the new Marr’s Spring Road.
Starting Monday, August 3rd, the West bound lane of 2nd Street will be closed. In order to resurface the roadway, all vehicles on both sides of 2nd Street from McCorvey to the entrance to the Blount/Paty parking lot will need to be moved to the Ferguson Parking deck or the North Ferguson Parking lot. Tuesday morning (August 4th), 2nd Street at McCorvey Drive will be closed and resurfaced. No vehicle traffic will be allowed on 2nd Street until Sunday morning, August 16th, except for those students moving into Somerville and Palmer Sunday, August 9th or Friday, August 14th.
The Blount/Paty Parking lot will be closed to parking until Sunday, August 16th so a drop off area can be constructed to allow residential students to drop off for move-in. The Blount/Paty Parking lot will no longer be accessible from 2nd Street. Entry into the Blount/Paty Parking lot will be from Campus Drive West at the Old Marr’s Spring Road intersection. Those entering the Blount /Paty Parking lot will need to take the road that leads to lower entrance to the Ferguson parking deck and travel north, up the hill between the Ferguson Parking Deck and the new South Ridgecrest building.
The gates to the Ferguson Parking Deck will remain open until traffic in this area, due to construction and move in, returns to traditional levels.
Engineering Area Construction Parking Disruptions
Faculty, staff and students should note that, at the end of the fall semester, the parking lot located between Rodgers Library and Hardaway/East Engineering Building will be impacted by the proposed construction of Phase III of the Science and Engineering Complex.
When construction begins, all Red Northeast Commuter and all Green Faculty/staff parking will be eliminated in this area. Students will be asked to use alternative Red Northeast Parking lots, as well as the Campus Drive Parking Deck. As always, they may also use Perimeter parking if the other Red Northeast areas are at capacity. Faculty/Staff that normally park in this area may want to use the Campus Drive Parking Deck, the North Ferguson Parking lot or other Green Faculty Staff parking.
Also due to construction, the rear parking lot of HM Comer and Foundry Lane parking will only be accessible through Shelby Lane. Campus Drive will be closed to traffic at 7th Avenue (near Houser) as early as this August. Link here for a map of the affected areas.
