Mike Rhodes has asked Facilities and Planning Staff to observe guidelines pertaining to driving on pedestrian walks:

 

(1)   The central Campus core areas, (Mall, Quad, etc) should be reserved for pedestrian use only.

(2)   Access building from perimeter of Campus or parking lots.

(3)   Driving permitted on pedestrian walks only when nature of work requires, not for

convenience.

(4)   Driving on walks creates especially bad situation when there is snow.   The weight of the vehicles causes tire tracks to turn to ice patches which don't melt and cause hazardous walking condition.
