Ball State received four bids Thursday to correct the crossover point between the L.A. Pittenger Student Center and the administration building, where the traffic light is not working, Jim Lowe, director of engineering and operations, said.
Lowe said the university would make a recommendation for the award this week. The project will begin May 8 and will be completed May 27, prior to Summer 2006 Orientation.
The university decided to install a crossover point in the area because it had a high volume of pedestrians, and a traffic light should not be in the area in the first place, Lowe said.
"What we're doing is much better because we're not stopping traffic," Lowe said.
Ball State will also begin its second phase of the McKinley Project on May 8, after E&B Paving in March submitted the low bid for the project, at $3.4 million. The project will include the reconstruction of McKinley Avenue from Neely and Petty avenues to Bethel Avenue, as well as the construction of a second duck pond.
