I think some of you are confusing Greenville with Greensboro. Or maybe they're interchangeable.

I think Wake could take some measures, in cooperation with the City, to make it easier for Wake students to walk to games. If you look at the area on Google maps, a nice, wide, lighted walkway could be built from around the "clubhouse" of the golf practice area through the cross-country trails right along the back of the houses on Faculty, leading to University Parkway. Then a walkway could be built over University Parkway, dropping kids off to the right of Reynolds Blvd. Then the nice, wide, lighted walkway could be continued along that side of University. The only roads kids would have to cross would be the two two-lane Cherry Street branches - unless you also wanted to build walkways across (or under) those. You could either cut it through the woods to lead to the back parking lots for BB&T or lead it up to Baity Street. Then it is easy to walk to BB&T from Baity or continue through the tunnel from BB&T to the Joel.
Faculty Drive should be bought, demolished, and transformed into University grounds for expansions. From the big baseball lights tantrum I've been opposed to that community.
Easy path.
Just add mirrors. 3500 becomes 15000.
Heels shooting free throws raise mirrors, make em pick which goal to chuck it at.
K working refs, add more refs with mirrors.
Endless uses.

At least when I was in school, the faculty drive homeowners fought tooth and nail to keep students off that street. They didn't want students cutting through to University about as much as they didn't want the University Blvd. crowd coming on campus.
That's why I didn't mention using Faculty Drive.

If Wake can drive faculty like Dr. Powell out of Faculty Apartments to turn them into Student Apts, I don't see why they can't nose their way into Faculty Drive. Though for years that was always why Wake couldn't put up lights at the baseball stadium or expand parts of the golf facilities.
It sounds like some of them don't really want to be a part of the Wake Forest community. Maybe the University should reevaluate that area.

I think we should organize weekly marches on Faculty Drive.
