Campus street change

WSU Transportation Services has closed part of Thatuna Street from Linden to Colorado Street on campus June 5 through June 29 to create a temporary pedestrian mall.

The intersection where Thatuna Street and C Street connect to Colorado Street is misaligned, causing line-of- sight issues for pedestrians, vehicles and buses in the College Hill residential area.

Anchored bollards will be installed at the north and south ends of the closure to prohibit vehicle access. Pedestrian traffic will be on the right side of Thatuna Street towards Colorado Street, with all vehicular traffic remaining on the left side, separating vehicles from pedestrians.

If the summer revision is successful, the demonstration may be replicated during the academic school year to test the concept with higher traffic volumes, according to Brent Atkinson of WSU Transportation Services.
