Let there be light

November 11, 2008

Gonzaga Plant Services Director Ken Sammons, who has been a relentless advocate for pedestrian safety on and near our campus, shared recently that Avista will be installing a new streetlight at the northwest corner of Hamilton & Desmet which will include a mastarm and light facing east. This should significantly improve lighting at the intersection and crosswalk. 

We encourage all members of out community to share their ideas to improve the safety of our community. You can contact John VanSant, GU Public Safety & Security Director, at vansant@gonzaga.edu with your ideas.

Two Wheel Diatribe

October 25, 2008

Its just a bicycle! To others they are more than just a means of transportation. Bike thieves will argue that its one of the easiest crime to commit. To date numerous bikes have been stolen on campus. So how do we quell the thief’s desire? The answer can be as simple as a heavy duty U-bolt bike lock or bike handcuffs. Best of all cost is minimal compared to the alternative. U-bolt  bike locks are available at the CPS&S office for just $10 while supplies last!.
