Last week, Dean Nicholas Olson stated that starting Monday, Sept. 27 the Forest Avenue Gate will be closed from 9 AM to 2 PM. Meaning that drivers will not be able to enter and exit on Forest Avenue during those times of the day when the gate is closed.
He said that this was due to safety concerns in that area of the school. He went on further and explained that on Forest Avenue near the gate there were complaints of speeding and hazardous driving.
“It’s easier to monitor and regulate one entrance/exit than two,” Olson said.
Olson hopes that closing the gate will make the community safer as a whole.
