Summary: The Koldus Bldg. and Rudder Tower plazas including Joe Routt Blvd. between S. Houston St. and Throckmorton will be closed for renovation. The project will enhance the beauty and accessibility of the area between Rudder Tower and the Koldus Building by:

• adding two mid-block crossings with a single level surface from door-to-door
• improving two existing cross-walks to meet accessibility standards
• removing and recycling paver bricks mounted on a concrete surface to avoid unevenness caused by settling
• increasing the width of the loading circle at Rudder Tower and defining the two lanes by a 4’ wide unloading area separating them
• extending the one-way configuration of Joe Routt to match the area south of the Memorial Student Center
• creating bi-directional bike lanes
• installing planter boxes with seating ledges to enhance gathering space under the shade of the trees while limiting pedestrian crossings at locations other than cross-walks
• replacing trees designated by a certified arborist as in poor, fair or stressed condition
