UST Advisory Committee OKs Design for wider Finn Street

WSNAC approved the plan to widen Finn Street. Finn will be widened to 36 feet; a 'normal' street is 32 feet in width. There will be a center turn lane added. Finn is being widened in anticipation of the increased traffic along Cretin from UST's new parking ramp (under construction) and proposed student center.
