March 17, 2000 To: The Campus Community From: Office of Physical Planning and Construction Re: Construction impact update: Street delays and closures Hagar Drive--Road closure and delays during March 20 to 24 During the week of March 20 to 24, the one-way portion of Hagar Drive by the Bay Tree Bookstore between Steinhart Way and McLaughlin Drive will be closed to traffic for all or part of the days. If there is not a road closure on a particular day, expect traffic delays. Check for informational signs prior to reaching Hagar Drive. A turn-around area will also be available at the bookstore shuttle stop. Campus members will still be able to access all services, including the Bay Tree Bookstore, Hahn Student Services, and the Whole Earth Restaurant, except for Friday, March 24, when there is an administrative holiday. Transit Service and Pedestrian Walkways Changes during Hagar Drive Closure When the one-lane portion of Hagar Drive is closed, Metro buses and campus shuttles will be rerouted. Revised bus route information will be mounted at all transit stops on Monday morning. The Metro bus and campus perimeter shuttle services going up to campus will stay on Coolidge Drive instead of turning left onto Hagar Drive. The buses and shuttles will stop at the Physical Plant bus stop, continue up Coolidge Drive, stop at the Crown/Merrill bus stop, and then continue their normal routes. In order to increase coverage when the short section of Hagar Drive is closed, the core shuttle service will be extended to include a stop at the Cowell College circle. Pedestrians will be rerouted through Cowell College. Signs will guide pedestrians through the area. The road closure is required by the contractor of the Bay Tree Bookstore and Graduate Student Commons project so that work can occur on underground utilities. For further information on transit services, call Transportation & Parking Services at 459-3228. ---------------------------- Heller Drive--Lane closure and delays on March 21 On Tuesday, March 21, the northbound lane of Heller Drive, just south of McLaughlin Drive, will be closed. Flag persons will direct traffic two-way traffic. Also, expect traffic delays in the area as concrete trucks will be making deliveries to the Core West Parking Structure. The lane closure is required by the contractor of the Core West Parking Structure so that concrete can be poured. ---------------------------- In order to inform members of the UCSC community of the impacts of construction on campus, Currents is now posting updates on any construction projects that affect transportation and parking. This update also includes information on the Mission Street widening project and contains links to construction, parking, and transportation Web sites. This column is updated regularly on Currents' Web site (http://www.ucsc.edu/currents/construction.html). It also appears in each newsprint edition of Currents. In addition, an e-mail tree will be sent to the campus community when there is a substantial impact to transportation and parking from a construction project.
