Jillian I don't think it's such a big issue, as I see it the guys who do the side walk working pritty fast so they going to close the entarence for 2-3 days well I understand it's inconviniance to smokers but, hey, they will have to tolerate it for a couple of days. Plus from the general college wide e-mail I understood that they going to do TH in summer or at the vary least when the classes are over. So it shouldn't be a big deal.
