Does anyone out there have information on changes to the traffic flow/stack lanes now that the new lot has opened up?

I was away on business all last week and drove through the lot Sunday to check on progress during the daylight- and I am sure glad I did to prepare for this morning. What evidently hasn't changed (as of this morning) was the stack lane. I am very uncomfortable creeping up to get riders that are standing in a line behind parked cars, walking along the cars to get in line or head for the bus area. I know it was that way before the construction started (especially when the lines were long), but there wasn't the 2-way traffic flow as there was this morning. Not sure if anyone was there directing traffic after the 6 a.m. hour.

My recommendation to any that read this and utilize the lot, is until further direction or guidance is provided, when entering from 234, continue straight-- go down a parking row or 2, and drive to a parking area to park, or head towards the stack lane to pick up riders.

For now, if we can eliminate the 2-way traffic flow in the stack lane area, it would be a little safer for all.

Apparently in an email from Jeff Frederick, the ribbon cutting ceremony is tomorrow. It's a shame that there is the possibility someone will be in an accident before the work is totally finished. I would think promoting the safety of all commuters using that lot should be of more concern at this point than a ceremony - especially a ceremony that should have happened several years ago...

(Sorry about that last off-topic remark.)
