...Brigham Young University presented plans for a three-phase redesign
of the north and east sides of campus that will eventually include
closing Campus Drive and turning the area into a walking plaza for
students.

"We are connecting campus to make a unified whole," BYU attorney
Steve Sandberg said. "By the end we will be unifying and beautifying
campus."

The desire is to have enhanced green space, more safety for pedestrians
and more car-free housing, Sandberg added...

...According to BYU spokeswoman Carri Jenkins, the first phase will be
in tandem with the Central Utah Project's pipeline construction and
Provo City's buildout of 900 East this summer. BYU's project will begin May
1 and will last for three years...
