When was the walking path underneath Wellborn Rd. Connecting WCG to Main campus constructed?

They removed the old pedestrian overpass September 2001 during the construction of the underpass.

So shortly after that.

Edit, 8/14/03 someone posted on TexAgs that it's open and they walked under.

what a wonderful design, lets have the main exit of people from Kyle plow right into the exit of the parking garage.

People are supposed to walk around the backside of the garage and free up the garage exits. They tried that before and people complained about having to walk an extra 400 feet, so now we have the current system of letting some cars out, then letting some people cross, then repeat.

You would think that in the 50's he would have had one for sure!

Looks like he found the weight room or went to war and came back a boss! Huge change!

The intent (and just for this year) is to let people cross over to Lot H. There's no other way to get there. Going to E, you should go around the West Garage. Some do, some don't. And for those who don't, they create a cluster ****.

Could just let em cross Wellborn and the tracks. That would be quicker.

I'm not sure walking through the garage would be any less safe.

if they would set up a lane for that it would be better, but my guess is they are afraid some will try to cross in front of the buses i guess.

Used to love walking up this as a kid in the 90's.

Ah yes....the good old days of campus. Very nostalgic for those times and before. Too crowded now. Getting on east campus around 8am and leaving at 5pm seems worse this semester than any time in the past.
