 Subject: MASSMAIL - Speak Up Regarding University Pedestrian Safety

DATE:    October 27, 2006

TO:      Faculty, Staff and Students

FROM:    Chancellor Richard Herman

SUBJECT: Speak Up Regarding University Pedestrian Safety

The University Multi-Modal Transportation Study (MTS) needs your ideas and 
opinions.   On November 1, 2006, an open house input session is being held 
from 1:00 - 6:00 p.m., in the Illini Union Pine Lounge, led by 
Martin/Alexiou/Bryson, PLLC consultants. MTS is focused on creating a 
pedestrian-friendly environment with a safe mix of transportation 
alternatives and is seeking input from the campus community. 

Faculty, staff and students are encouraged to drop-in at any time during 
the five-hour period to provide input on several main topics, including:

1.  Pedestrian safety - how can pedestrian safety be enhanced and what 
specific locations are particularly problematic?

2.  Bicycle safety - how can the existing campus bike path system be 
improved, and what kinds of other bicycle facilities are people willing to 
use on campus?

3.  Transit mobility - how can the MTD bus service be improved to get 
people to and around campus more efficiently while enhancing the 
pedestrian environment?

4.  Parking - how can the campus parking system be improved as the campus 
grows?

5.  Alternatives - what alternatives to driving are people willing to use 
to get to campus?

Thank you for your input on this issue that is so vital to our campus 
community.
