• City
of Greeley mass transit services the campus. The main line runs along
11th Avenue. Stops are located 17th Street, 21st Street and 22nd Street.
• There are few restrictions on vehicular use. Because of this,
motor vehicles are causing numerous conflicts with pedestrians. With
further growth, these concerns will only increase.
The following issues are of most concern.
- Material delivery and vendor access
- Students using vehicles between parts of campuses
- Service vehicle access
- Community traffic unrelated to campus events
- Vehicles idling while waiting for parking spaces to open
Vehicular routes around and through the campus have divided the campus
into three distinct sections. Each section, Central Campus, West Campus,
and the University Center Site, are isolated from one another due to
the major arterial streets that bound them. Much of this was due to the
suburban expansion and a lack of planning when the campus grew west into
farmland in the 1960s. Because of the University's location within the
City of Greeley, vehicular routes cause pedestrian conflicts in three
primary areas. These include (1) the entire 11th Avenue corridor from
16th to 24th Streets, (2) Intersections along 20th Street at 10th Avenue,
11th Avenue, and 14th Avenue, and (3) the Intersection at 11th Avenue
and 22nd Street. |
