<Title>New one-way Commons Drop-off Circle</Title>
<Tagline>New Traffic Pattern</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content"><p><span>Please be advised that there will be permanent changes to the traffic
    patterns in the area of Commons Garage, Physics Building and The Commons prior
    to the start of the Fall 2017 semester. The Commons Circle is being replaced
    with a new drop-off circle between the Physics Building and Commons Garage. The
    new circle will provide a drop-off area for The Commons, Physics and other
    adjacent buildings. Personal vehicles will no longer be allowed to enter the
    Commons Circle as this area is now limited to service vehicles and deliveries.
    A new entrance to Lot 2 has also been constructed off of the new drop-off
    circle.</span></p>
    
    <p><span> </span></p>
    
    <p><span>Vehicles traveling on Commons Drive wishing to use the new circle or
    park in Lot 2 should take a right on Park Road and an immediate left into the
    circle. Access to the Commons Garage remains unchanged as vehicles may continue
    to use both existing entrances. Please refer to the diagram below for
    additional information. Additional temporary signs will be provided in
    this area in an effort to help navigate the new traffic patterns. </span></p>
    
    <p><span> </span></p>
    
    <p><span>The contractor will be finalizing the work at the new drop-off circle
    during the fall semester. UMBC Facilities Management will inform the UMBC
    community of any temporary vehicular or pedestrian traffic changes or
    closures. </span></p>
    
    <p><span> </span></p>
    
    <p><span>Thank
    you for your patience as we work to maintain and enhance the UMBC campus. </span></p>
