CTC approved $100,000 to pave Jeffrey and Lemontree Roads. The Town will be providing a $100,000 match. The funds are for both design and construction.
CTC also approved $100,000 to construct a sidewalk along Jerdone Street and along Stiles Drive between Jerdone and the existing sidewalk on Mikell.. The Town is providing a $100,000 match for this project as well. Last year, CTC funded $35,000 for design of the project.
The "Jerdone bypass" will connect two segments of sidewalk on Fort Johnson Road. The Fort Johnson Sidewalk project will run from the current end of the sidewalk near Harborview Road to Jerdone and also from Mikell to the current end of the sidewalk at Lighthouse Blvd. Unfortunately, there is no sidewalk along Fort Johnson between Jerdone and Mikell because there are too many grand trees and high earthen berms.
The Town's project will allow pedestrians to bypass the missing segment. The sidewalk on Jerdone and then along Stiles Drive between Jerdone and the existing sidewalk on Mikell will allow access back to Fort Johnson.
The Fort Johnson sidewalk project is a 1/2 cent sales tax project that will provide pedestrian access from Fort Johnson to Folly Road. The project continues from the current end of the sidewalk at Seaside Lane on to Camp Road. Because of issues with grand trees along Fort Johnson between Camp and Dills Bluff, the route will go down Camp Road and then Dills Bluff back to Fort Johnson. This "Camp Road" bypass accomplishes the Town's "Phase 1" Camp Road sidewalk project which was the Town's Transportation Sales Tax project from last year. The Dills Bluff segement will connect to the existing sidewalk on Fort Johnson Rd on to Folly.
Charleston County Council recently approved the contract for the Fort Johnson Road sidewalk project, so construction should begin soon. There remain some SDOT permitting issues with the Jerdone and Stiles project, but it should be completed more or less along with the larger Fort Johnson project.
