State College Borough Council voted 4-2 on Monday to deny a developer’s request to close a portion of Hetzel Street for about two years during construction of a high-rise apartment building.
Chicago-based Core Spaces and its construction manager Massaro Corporation sought to close Hetzel Street between East College Avenue and East Calder Way from Dec. 22 until Nov. 28, 2023 for construction of the 12-story mixed-use building. Pedestrian access would be maintained on the east side of Hetzel, but the closure would have meant through-traffic would be prohibited on Hetzel from East College Avenue to East Beaver Avenue.

Vehicle and pedestrian access would be maintained on Calder and College, though a covered, lighted walkway would be installed adjacent to the project site on College, where five parking spaces also
The mixed-use development will include retail space, plus living units.
