SAFETY FIRST

by Jo Ann Mathews

A pedestrian crosswalk is coming to U.S. Highway 17 in Leland in 2024.

The intersection of Ploof Road and Olde Waterford Way is destined for a change. The Town of Leland received a grant of $666,623 from the Wilmington Urban Area Metropolitan Planning Organization to construct a pedestrian walkway crossing U.S. Highway 17 at this location. In addition, about 300 feet of sidewalk on the northeast side of Olde Waterford Way will link with a sidewalk network already there. A crosswalk signal is also part of the improvements. This will be the sole pedestrian crossing that will connect the facilities on both sides of Highway 17.
