Sidewalks and Safety Improvements in Killearn Lakes

Leon County held a ribbon-cutting ceremony Wednesday in Killearn Lakes to mark the completion of sidewalks and safety improvements to the area.

Nearly five miles of sidewalk construction and bike lanes were completed along Deer Lake West and Kinhega Drive to provide safer transportation options for walkers and bikers, in addition to connecting neighborhoods to Deerlake Middle and Killearn Lakes
Elementary schools.

“This project was essential to supporting the priority of safety for children and families of Killearn Lakes,” said County Commissioner Bryan Desloge, who represents District 4. “This was one of four projects that involved maintaining a family-friendly environment rich
with this community’s natural landscape that includes the beautiful canopied roads we’ve come to love here in Leon County.”

The sidewalk and safety improvements took 17 months to complete and came in approximately $265,000 under budget. The full project included additional crosswalks with signs, bike lanes, restriped driving lanes and more school-zone markers. Roads were also narrowed to reduce vehicle speed and enhance pedestrian safety. A unique under-the-sidewalk stormwater treatment system provided a significant cost savings to Leon County in the construction process. Additionally, the sidewalk was constructed around trees, which significantly reduced the number of trees that needed to be removed.
Wetlands were also preserved in keeping with the overall character of the subdivision.

“This sidewalk will serve as a vital connector for kids to their schools, walkers and bikers to the great outdoors here in Killearn Lakes and neighbors to each other,” said County Administrator Vincent S. Long.

Area schools were considered well in advance allowing construction teams to lay the sidewalk during summer months when student populations would not be affected as much.

“This project is a great example of the County working hand-in-hand with the community to create something that is practical and enjoyable,” said Commission Chairman Akin Akinyemi. “The positive outcome is a more livable community – one that provides safe
and convenient transportation choices and recreational options to all citizens, especially our young ones, like the ones that use this area.”
