UTEP Plans Partial Closing of Sun Bowl Drive to Paint Crosswalk

Partial lane closures are planned along Sun Bowl Drive south of University Avenue from 2 to 11 a.m. Sunday, July 19, 2015, to paint stripes for a new crosswalk that will span the four lanes from the front of Kelly Hall to the S-3 parking lot. Two lanes will remain open while the others are closed for striping. Once the paint is set, the work will switch to the other two lanes. The new crosswalk will enhance pedestrian safety in the area and give students, faculty and staff an option to stay clear of the demolition zone where Burges and Barry halls are being taken down. In the near future, signage will be added and the railing on the west side of the street will be adjusted to enhance accessibility.
