Although Transportation Services is technically requesting approval to close the sidewalk, bike lane and a portion of the westbound curb lane in their current location on the north side of College Street to accommodate construction staging operations, traffic lanes abutting the site will be realigned to maintain one westbound traffic lane, two eastbound traffic lanes, plus a bike lane and temporary walkway.
