  <title><![CDATA[Ferst Drive Connectivity Plan Necessitates Traffic Changes]]></title>
  <body><![CDATA[<p>Beginning Monday, April 8, the Ferst Drive Connectivity Plan enters phase two, which necessitates a traffic detour to accommodate further infrastructure improvements in the area. The section of Tech Parkway from Means Street/Regents Drive to the John Lewis Student Center will be closed to vehicular and pedestrian traffic in both directions until late summer.</p>

<p>Vehicular and pedestrian traffic will be diverted from this section of Tech Parkway and allowed to travel along Ferst Drive before reentry onto Tech Parkway. Detour signs will be placed in the area to aid traffic flow.</p>

  <!--  Disquisition: it's funny how I write these TODOs and then never
         revisit them. It's as though the act of writing the thing down frees me

         say? There are more problems than there's time to solve.  -->
