The 2017 Wyoming Legislature, in a budget footnote, directed the university to hold discussions on the possible elimination of through-traffic on 15th Street between Ivinson Avenue and Willett Drive, in order to enhance the safety of pedestrians and to unify the campus.

UW and city officials have held initial discussions regarding options to meet the intent of the footnote.
