For years, Sinclair leaders has been working on ways to ease the flow of traffic near the school’s downtown Dayton campus, Sinclair spokeswoman Deena John told this news organization.
Sinclair has been working with local and national experts to redesign portions of campus as part of a larger master plan. The redesign would aim to make Sinclair’s campus safer and easier to navigate, John said.
In 2013, a consultant for the community college proposed closing a section of Fourth Street because Perry and Fifth Streets could be made two-way roads.

Sinclair has surveyed students many times over the year and has worked to incorporate their feedback to address overall concerns of safety and navigability.”
