The security system and underground construction will require funds, which will partly be made up from the money saved from not having to plow the sidewalks. We would also have to operate less buses because according to Maffucci, Dan “How do you get around?” survey, students and faculty would always walk if it meant not having to get wet from rain or cold from the temperature. Allowing students to walk in an enclosed space will keep pedestrians safer from cars as well. Among the money saved in plowing and gas, it is possible over time to pay for the repurposed tunnel system. Another way to make the tunnels feasible would be to use the area for rentable ad space. The University could easily get surrounding businesses to use this area that would have a great deal of traffic viewing their advertisement. This becomes really attractive and would be another way to help pay for the expenses.

To get the best use out of the underground tunnels the University can make them most effective by having them open on dependent cases. These cases can include temperatures 40º and below will open the tunnels. After sunset the tunnels will open to ensure a brightly lit, monitored, and safe trip around campus. It would also depend on precipitation so students and faculty don’t have to walk in the rain. All these dependent cases will keep costs lower because the tunnels do not have always be lit, monitored, and have the security systems running especially because there would be a huge decrease in usage in the spring and summer when temperatures are still bearable. I realize this is far fetched, but the University establishing this system would end up far exceeding the costs, from the benefits it would bring.
