A New Breed of Bird Has Landed on Campus

You may have already noticed that Bird e-scooters on campus have evolved, with the older model being replaced by a new version that’s more robust and heavier on extra features. Bird, UK’s preferred e-scooter vendor, recently swapped out its older version with its newest line, Bird Three. These scooters feature a variety of upgrades designed to make the scooters eco-friendlier and to heighten their appeal to both experienced and new riders. While the fleet number is smaller on campus during the winter, these Birds are expected to be available all season long.

Woodland Avenue Project May Cause Traffic Delays

Work to relocate a duct bank could begin as early as Tuesday along Woodland Avenue, between Sports Center Drive and Columbia Avenue. This project will impact traffic and pedestrian access in that area. The northbound lane of Woodland Avenue will be closed to provide room for a dump truck and backhoe to be staged. Contractors will dig up an existing sidewalk to install the duct bank. Two-way traffic is expected to be maintained, as northbound traffic will be shifted into the turn lane instead.
