Street Closure On Ripon College Campus to Begin July 1st

From Ripon College Days.com

Seward and Elm Streets are set to be removed July 1 in the section from Bartlett Hall on Woodside Street to the S.N. Pickard Commons on Congress Street this summer. The streets will be replaced by walking paths and green space."Safety, aesthetics and to further expand our 'greening' of the campus [were our main priorities]," says President David Joyce.Students will no longer have to look both ways before crossing from the residential part of campus to upper campus.Other benefits will be a greener campus, which will enhance the overall appearance of the college. Linley Lane will be extended from lower campus to the current Seward/Elm intersection in front of the Pub.The rest of the plans will depend on how much money the college can secure through donations. Joyce says that raising money is a major priority this semester.
