College move-ins are never stress-free experiences, and 40,000 families moving in alongside you certainly doesn’t make the process any easier.

To help reduce traffic, prevent headaches, and keep move-in running as smoothly as possible, the borough will put the following temporary traffic pattern changes into effect throughout the next few weeks:

East Calder Way

Starting Monday, August 12, until Sunday, August 25, East Calder Way will be a one-way street heading westbound from Hetzel Street to South Garner Street. It will also be a one-way street heading eastbound from High to Hetzel Street.

Hetzel Street

On Tuesday, August 13, Hetzel Street will become a one-way street headed northbound from East Beaver Avenue to East Calder Way.

West College Ave.

From Thursday, August 15, to Friday, August 16, the left-hand lane of West College Ave. between South Barnard Street and South Atherton Street will be closed. It will be a parking lane to help students unload their cars.

East College Ave.

Effective from Thursday, August 22, through Saturday, August 24, the right-hand lane of East College Ave. between University Drive and High Street will close and become a parking lane to assist with unloading.

Good luck with moving in, Penn Staters! We’ll see you back in Happy Valley before you know it.
