Temporary sidewalk and road impacts on West Grace Street are scheduled as part of utility work for the West Grace Street Housing project. This work includes the installation of concrete utility vaults using a crane, weather and field conditions permitting. Fence panels along West Grace Street will be extended approximately three feet into the sidewalk. ADA-accessible pedestrian access will be maintained, but the usable width of the sidewalk will be reduced. Two temporary closures of the single eastbound lane on West Grace Street are expected. Each closure will last approximately 10 to 15 minutes and is anticipated to occur around 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. Flaggers will be stationed at the intersections of Pine and West Grace and Laurel and West Grace to direct traffic during these closures. These impacts are expected to be minimal and short in duration.

The Translational Research on Eating and Affect (TREAT) Lab is recruiting adolescent girls and young adult women (aged 12 to 25 years) for a brain imaging study to understand risky decision-making in individuals who have concerns about their body shape/weight, or overeat, purge, use laxatives, diet severely or exercise excessively.
