Traffic Flow

As you prepare for your Spring 2013 check out of the residence halls,
please share the information below with your families regarding traffic
flow and parking. Thank you.

RESIDENT MOVE OUT TRAFFIC PLAN
To assist students and their families to move personal belongings out of
the residence halls, Public Safety has developed a traffic flow plan.
Along with the traffic plan, some street areas will be designated as NO
PARKING. Depending on where a student resides, they may choose to use
the area most convenient from the choices listed below.

Royal Way- (GLM Residents) - The Royal Way will be open for entrance
from Mulberry Street, one way towards the Commons from 7:00 am to 9:00 pm,
May 15 to May 18. Vehicles should stay to the left after entering
and move closest to the student’s residence hall. Students may load the
vehicle, proceed to the Commons, and turn left heading up the Commons
and exiting to Linden Street.

The Commons- (Upper Quad, Lower Quad, Driscoll and Nevils Residents) -
Students whose most convenient loading area would be the Commons should enter
in the same manner as described for Royal Way. Students may load the
vehicle while on the Commons and exit to Linden Street.

Mulberry Street- (Clay Ave. Houses, GLM, Driscoll and Nevils Residents)
- The 1000 block of Mulberry Street (metered side closest to campus)
will be designated as NO PARKING from May 16 to May 19 and will be
available for students to load vehicles only for departure from
residence halls.

Clay Ave. Commons - (Driscoll, Clay Ave. Houses and Gavigan Residents) - The Clay
Ave. Commons will be open for entrance from Mulberry Street, one way
towards the Commons from 7:00 am to 9:00 pm, May 15 to May 18. Vehicles
should stay to the left after entering and move closest to the student’s
residence hall. Students may load the vehicle, proceed to the Commons,
and turning left up the Commons and exiting to Linden Street.

Linden Street Commons - (Clay Ave. Houses, Condron, Gavigan and Redington
Residents) - The 1100 block of Linden Street, both sides (by Gavigan,
Condron and Redington), will be available for loading vehicles from 7:00 am to
9:00 pm, May 15 to May 18 but cars must enter through the Royal Way
by DeNaples Center/GLM or the Clay Ave. Commons by Driscoll Hall. Cars are not permitted
to enter this one way loading area off of North Webster Ave. by Condron Hall.
 
Mahon Court - (Clay Ave. Houses and Condron Residents) – Mahon Court will be open for entrance
from Mulberry Street by McGowan/Ciszek, one way towards the Commons from 7:00 am to
9:00 pm, May 15 to May 18. Vehicles should stay to the right after entering and move closest to the student’s residence hall or house. Students may load the vehicle, proceed to the Commons,
and turning left up the Commons and exiting to Linden Street.

North Webster Avenue - (Clay Ave. Houses, Condron, Gavigan and Redington
Residents) - The 200 and 300 blocks of North Webster (by Condron and
Redington), side closest to campus, will be designated as NO PARKING
from May 15 – May 18 and will be available for students to load vehicles
only for departure from residence halls.

Redington Parking Lot - (Redington Residents) - Redington Parking Lot
will be made available for resident students to load vehicles for
departure. It is important that vehicles do not remain in the parking
lot after they are loaded.
 
(Montrone and Pilarz Hall Residents) - For loading purposes only, vehicles must
enter the one way service road behind Montrone and Pilarz Halls entering off of
Quincy or Monroe Ave.  traveling one way toward Hitchcock Court. 
Vehicles may also enter the service road through Hitchcock Court off of Mulberry St.
but adhere to the one way traffic patterns.  All vehicles must exit on Hitchcock Court
toward Vine St.
 
Finally, cooperation, good will and patience will assist everyone
involved in making the move out process as painless as possible. If you
have questions, please contact Public Safety at 570-941-7888 or
Residence Life at 570-941-6226. We hope you have a wonderful summer.
