A new barrier was recently installed to keep cars from driving on the drive by the church. Director of Facilities Stu Hain wrote in an e-mail to the Gazette that this drive has been closed permanently.

"We did close the drive because we were worried that someone would be injured. It is a single lane road with limited visibility. We have experienced an increased number of people driving through–many driving too fast for conditions. Many people also travel that road on foot. Since the driveway is not important to the operation of the college the safest thing to do was close it."

For making the walk to ML a little bit safer, we are grateful. Have other campus safety concerns? Let us know at dailygazette [at] swarthmore [dot] edu.
