The closure at Weinbach and Walnut has started. The closure will last for 30 calendar days with the possibility of going up to 45 calendar days if there are weather issues or unforeseen delays.

Additional information and tips: 

Parking Enforcement: We want to emphasize that the restrictions will be strictly enforced. Towing will only occur if a parked car creates a critical safety issue or blocks other vehicles from using the designated route. Our goal is to ensure safety and minimize disruptions during the construction period without unnecessary towing.

Traffic Flow: Signage will be placed at the entrance to the lot, directing traffic to make a right turn into the lot using the north lane. Additionally, signage on Walnut west of Rotherwood will indicate "No Thru Traffic Allowed." A barricade will be placed in the straight eastbound lane at the Rotherwood/Walnut intersection. Delivery vehicles will have a route around the barricade using the left turn lane.

Median Turnaround: Bollards on Walnut between Ridgway and Carson Center will be removed by Facilities to allow a turnaround in the median for delivery vehicles to exit through the westbound lane of Walnut. A stop sign will be placed at the turnaround to control the traffic entering the westbound lane.

Walking Safety Tips: Be predictable and ensure you follow the rules of the road and obey signs and signals and plan to walk on sidewalks whenever they are available. If there is no sidewalk, walk facing traffic and as far from traffic as possible. Keep alert at all times; don’t be distracted by electronic devices that take your eyes (and ears) off the road. Whenever possible, cross streets at crosswalks or intersections, where drivers expect pedestrians. Look for cars in all directions, including those turning left or right. If a crosswalk or intersection is not available, locate a well-lit area where you have the best view of traffic. Wait for a gap in traffic that allows enough time to cross safely; continue watching for traffic as you cross. Never assume a driver sees you. Make eye contact with drivers as they approach to make sure you are seen. Be visible at all times by wearing bright clothing during the day and wear reflective materials or use a flashlight at night. Watch for cars entering or exiting driveways or backing up in parking lots. Avoid alcohol and drugs when walking; they impair your abilities and your judgment.

Alternative Parking for Team Buses: Team buses can use Lot H or Lot O during this time.

The campus community is invited to attend the unveiling of Hydration Station - the nation's first outdoor-rated, contactless, automated, water dispensing system.

The unveiling will take place outside of the Bower-Suhrheinrich Library on Monday, October 9, at 10:00 a.m. with a reception to follow in Ridgway University Center.

Guest speakers include Mayor Lloyd Winnecke, Evansville Water Sewer Utility Deputy Director and Public Information Officer Ella Johnson-Watson, UE Executive Director for the Center for Innovation & Change Erin Lewis, and Jack Deig, CEO and founder of Hydration Station.

Jack is a sophomore at UE, earning a marketing major and psychology minor. He originally submitted the concept for Hydration Station at the 2022 High School Changemaker Challenge. Deig's journey began with a simple realization: access to clean water is a pervasive global issue that needs immediate attention. As a UE student, Jack has continued to grow the project in ChangeLab.

Originally a solo endeavor, Deig tirelessly sought funding and sponsors to bring his vision to life. Today, Hydration Station has grown into a formidable team of five individuals, with their inaugural indoor station now operational inside Patchwork Central and an additional station in the works along the downtown Evansville riverfront in partnership with the EWSU.  

These stations are equipped to provide unlimited refills to anyone with a reusable bottle, aligning with Deig's philosophy that "you can't abuse a Hydration Station." While this project is not profit-driven for Deig, it is undoubtedly a labor of love, reflecting his deep-rooted connection to the Evansville community where he grew up.

Since launching Hydration Station in 2022, the project has made significant strides. Deig envisions expansion throughout the city and potentially even across the nation in the coming years. He is inviting individuals to join him on this transformative mission and explore the message and impact of Hydration Station.

SAA Book Club Read for October

None of This is True by Lisa Jewell

Lisa Jewell returns with a scintillating new psychological thriller about a woman who finds herself the subject of her own popular true crime podcast. Celebrating her forty-fifth birthday at her local pub, popular podcaster Alix Summers crosses paths with an unassuming woman called Josie Fair. Josie, it turns out, is also celebrating her forty-fifth birthday. They are, in fact, birthday twins. A few days later, Alix and Josie bump into each other again, this time outside Alix’s children’s school. Josie has been listening to Alix’s podcasts and thinks she might be an interesting subject for her series. She is, she tells Alix, on the cusp of great changes in her life. Josie’s life appears to be strange and complicated, and although Alix finds her unsettling, she can’t quite resist the temptation to keep making the podcast. Slowly she starts to realize that Josie has been hiding some very dark secrets, and before she knows it, Josie has inveigled her way into Alix’s life—and into her home. But, as quickly as she arrived, Josie disappears. Only then does Alix discover that Josie has left a terrible and terrifying legacy in her wake, and that Alix has become the subject of her own true crime podcast, with her life and her family’s lives under mortal threat. Who is Josie Fair? And what has she done? (from Goodreads.com)

We will meet on Wednesday October 25th at 12 noon in the Phillips Alcove located in the Multicultural Student Commons (on the second floor of Ridgway) to discuss the book. Everyone is invited. Feel free to bring your lunch.
