Check out our slideshow to recap the action. Tuesday | April 21, 2015 Construction blocks off Fifth Street from Page 1 By Jenna Press ARK Assistant City Editor The fences outlining the construction of the fu- ture fountain site are up on Fifth Street, one of the most highly-trafficked areas on campus, and stu- dents will need to find routes around them for the rest of the semester. The fences will stretch all the way from Speight Circle to MP Daniel Esplanade, the street between the Bill and Eva Williams Bear Habitat and the Bill Daniel Student Union Building. Students will be able to cut through the construction area near Car- roll Science Hall and Morrison Hall. San Antonio freshman Heather Smith said the fence is somewhat inconvenient right now since it can get somewhat crowded around the area. “There’s not a lot of space to cross Fifth Street over there,” Smith said. According to an email from Baylor NewsFlash, bicycles and mopeds can no longer be ridden on Fifth Street, and bike racks will be relocated as close as possible to the original spots of Fifth Street.
