The University will own the old part of the 30th Street. Johnson said safety is a concern now that the street is open. In the time ahead, it will handle more traffic than before. Drake will clean up the now dead-end 30th Street and plant grass seed next spring. Jerry Price, dean of students, said he is withholding his opinion of the new street until then.
Students have mixed reactions to the completion of the construction.
Others said they are happy the construction is finished. Cars travel down 31st Street, which is now open after several months of construction. The new 31st Street now forms a four-way intersection with University Avenue.

There have been approximately 91 students written up for alcohol violations, compared to 86 at this time last year.
