Germantown Av Construction through 5/18

The next phase of major construction is slated on or about May 22, which means access to campus through Commencement May 18 will not change. Also, the Trolley Car Diner will remain accessible from Mt. Airy during Helping Hands week benefiting LTSP, so even if you need to drive to participate, you won't need to detour. Be sure to check Ltsp.edu/germantownave for directions and alternate routes to campus. Here are some specifics:

CRESHEIM VALLEY DRIVE IS OPEN:
Cresheim Valley Drive reopened Friday, 5/9 as scheduled. Pedestrian access from Chestnut Hill to Mt. Airy has been restored -- please follow signs.

NEXT CLOSURE SLATED TO TAKE PLACE MAY 22ND:
The next closure, from the southernmost entrance to Trolley Car Diner to just north of McPherson Street, is scheduled to take place on or about May 22nd. At that time, access to the Trolley Car Diner will be from the Chestnut Hill side.

WORK OUTSIDE THE CLOSURES:
Roumfort Road has been reopened. McPherson Street will close for sewer work this upcoming week. There will be work near McPherson on the east side of Germantown Avenue.

REMEMBER: Helping Hands benefits LTSP 5/12-5/18 - the Trolley Car Diner will donate 20% of all receipts (with coupon) Monday, May 12 through Commencement, Sunday, May 18 (M-F 7am-9pm, S-S 3pm-9pm). See details and download the necessary coupon: Ltsp.edu/helpinghands
