VEHICULAR CIRCULATION<br />

Gateways<br />

The primary campus gateway will remain at the<br />

existing location on University Hills Boulevard.<br />

Additional gateways include a new significant<br />

campus entrance from Camp Wisdom Road<br />

adjacent to the planned recreational fields, as well<br />

as the three minor drives—two that are currently<br />

under construction on Camp Wisdom Road and on<br />

University Hills Boulevard to the south, intended to<br />

relieve congestion, and a DART station access drive<br />

within DART's right-of-way. Each of the secondary<br />

gateways will provide right-in, right-out access only.<br />

Service and Emergency Access<br />

A system of service and emergency access roads<br />

will be required to support campus operations and<br />

safety. Select pedestrian routes may accommodate<br />

service and emergency vehicles with larger<br />

pathway widths—shown in Figure 4.14– in dashed<br />

blue—particularly within the campus core.<br />

Secondary roads may also accommodate service<br />

and emergency vehicles.<br />

Circulation<br />

The plan establishes a primary road around the<br />

campus between the Camp Wisdom Road and<br />

DART vehicular gateways. Some realignment of the<br />

existing road will be required south of the campus<br />

core around the proposed Events Center in order to<br />

accommodate that building footprint and function.<br />

An extended primary road will allow more evenly<br />

distributed traffic, and will minimize pedestrian/<br />

vehicular conflicts. Secondary roads will link less<br />

dense sections of the campus, and will be lightly<br />

used and designed to manage access. Personal<br />

vehicles will not be permitted in the campus core<br />

to preserve a pedestrian-priority area, while still<br />

accommodating accessible vehicle access.<br />
