This Week’s Questions

Why can't the shuttle pick employees up at the end of lot MR1 (Munson Road)? It takes half the time of walking to main campus as it does to walk from the lot to the front of the Munson Road building to meet the shuttle. The lack of parking is already an inconvenience.

Good question. As Janel Simpson, our chief administrative officer, explains, the shuttles have designated drop-off and pick-up locations to prioritize pedestrian safety and maintain predictable schedules. These specific stops are selected to minimize potential hazards for pedestrians and assist shuttle drivers in adhering to a reliable timetable, ensuring efficient service.

We appreciate your understanding as we continually assess measures that enhance both safety and timeliness.

 

There are very large wasps that are flying around the ivy beds surrounding the main hospital. Several of them are harassing people walking out of the buildings. Which department handles insects?

Our building and grounds team oversees pest control and, I’m happy to report, already has taken care of this.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and thank you to J.J. Odom, our building and grounds director, for working with our vendor to handle in a timely manner.
