COMMONS PROJECT - Construction continues to transform what once was two blocks of Linden Street into a park, connecting the University of Scranton's south and north portions of the campus. The Commons, as it is to be known, will feature a tree shaded area with benches for study. Officials of the university said most of the stone walkways should be in before school starts in September but believe final landscape work won't be completed until spring of 1981. Heavy construction is scheduled to cease in November.
