The N.C . State Office of Transportation approved a new plan to block off parts of Dan Allen Drive.
Later this summer, the installation of new gates will cut off through-traffic between 9 a.m . and 5 p.m . Monday through Friday. The gates will be located on either side of the railroad bridge, allowing only buses and University vehicles to pass.
According to the Office of Transportation, this change is meant to increase the safety for drivers, bus passenger and pedestrians. By limiting access to Dan Allen Drive, Transportation hopes to increase the use of sustainable transportation and decrease the number of accidents.
