Good afternoon. Riders of the campus bus should be aware of a temporary detour starting tomorrow. Because of road repairs on Maple Street, the bus will not stop at the Maple Street station for the next two weeks. Instead, it will follow Oak Avenue and stop at the corner of Oak and Third. Passengers who normally use the Maple stop should walk one block east to reach the temporary stop. Normal service will resume once the road work is finished. Thank you.
