Briefly
Western seeks city council approval to vacate South College Way. Western plans to build a new road behind Fairhaven College on the hillside of the Sehome Aboretum. Western is not being honest and forthright about its plans.
This would spend millions of dollars wrecking a valuable road, tearing up the arboretum and not add a single classroom.
Western's Institutional Master Plan (IMP) shows the new road through the Arboretum on page III-23.

Western asks city to abandon South Campus Drive.
Here are pictures of the parts of Western Institutional master plan that show their plan to construct a new access road in the Sehome Arboretum. Note the page numbers. You can download the entire IMP on the left column. Below is simply the factual evidence that the road is planned. Note that before South Campus Drive is vacated, the IMP itself calls for the alternate route to be approved. This is not being done with the request by Western for the vacation before a final replacement plan. Regardless, the Arboretum should not be violated.
