Lets not forget millions was recently spent on Bancroft, I doubt there is any interest (or funding) to change the current Bancroft entrance. But removing current lot entrance/exit and removal current 4 way intersection with 3 way is in the cards.

As to Dorr Street, removal of the UT Safety building sets stage for future extension of UT entrance off Dorr to cut right through current Carter Hall land and join South Glass Bowl Drive (or bend to connect directly to Stadium Drive) and dead end current north board East Rocket Drive at the trail. See master plan.

We were more speculating what the smart people would do.

Coming through University Hills has worked for years. No point spending money on massive logistics changes when there are sidewalks need fixing. We were just having fun on speculative design. The hint was the flying saucer.

Now that that's been spoiled... sigh. Maybe we can talk about how to strip the lot!!!! Angle parking? Staight on? Anyone causing others to wait while they back in automatically gets a paint scratch?

yea entrance off Douglas would be ideal, guessing budget is the issue there but certainly would make sense in many ways.
