The street closure seems to be an outdated planning idea with no “real” need. If the only reason UM wants to close the street is to “glue our campus together”, then that seems like a pretty flimsy justification.

Part of me says that the City should use this little bargaining chip and say “shove it” to UM for the years of them saying “shove it” to the City. However, another part of me says that the City should take the high road and show the UM planners what it means to work together, listen, and compromise to make something that is mutually beneficial to both parties.

Then the City should tell the UM to shove it.
