  <title><![CDATA[Phase 3 of the Ferst Drive Realignment and Cycle Track Project Begins]]></title>
  <body><![CDATA[<p>The Ferst Drive realignment, safety, and connectivity project will provide improved bicycle infrastructure and allow for separation between bikes, pedestrians, and vehicles along this campus corridor. This project will also address the realignment of Ferst Drive at Regents Drive, which will ultimately eliminate the traffic signal and enable connectivity to the planned bicycle infrastructure southwest of campus. A cycle track will be installed along Ferst Drive, providing improved safety and separation between cycles and buses at the bus stops.</p><p>Phase 3 begins Monday, July 22. The attached plans signify construction limits and pedestrian circulation routes around the installed construction fencing. As Phase 3 begins, milling and paving operations will continue for Phases 1 and 2. &nbsp;Expect delays traveling through these areas.&nbsp;</p><p>Please pardon our progress as we strive to improve the safety and connectivity of campus.</p>]]></body>

  <!--  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
         from the responsibility to actually solve the problem. But what can I
         say? There are more problems than there's time to solve.  -->
