The long-awaited widening
of Broadway Avenue that will
tie UNCA to Asheville's cen
tral business district is
receiving "top priority" con
sideration by the state De
partment of Transportation
(DOT) officials.

board member.
UNCA is awaiting a December
I report by the DOT to deter

Brown.
"The project hasn’t been
moved down from the last TIP

this is one project we can

TIP includes all transport

DOT will make a final deci

in December, he said.
"We have to let the entire
board know that this is a
crucial project and it's had
good support from the commu
nity," Smith said.

gears funds to priority pro
jects with allocation to as

students about the new law.
Since then, students who have
not supplied accurate inform
ation to the Health Services
office have received three
notices informing them of
their status.
Dr. Bruce Kelly, director
of Health Services, sent out
a memorandum on Aug. 26 to
notify students that they had
30 calendar days to comply
with the law, according to
Shirley.
At that time, about 800 of
