    • The bike lane in front of the building is fully functional.
    • Additional meters have been purchased by the project to be used for resident parking for the duration of construction. The additional spots are on Deerfield Street at the intersection with Bay State Road and are available for use now.

BU parking spots directly behind Kilachand Hall on Back Street remain a no-parking zone. This will continue for the duration of the project to maintain an adequate drive lane for local traffic on Back Street and allow for the construction team to safely contain a work area north of the dormitory.
