Cul-de-sacs are being installed on Chanticleer Drive

Over the Christmas holiday break, construction began on two cul-de-sacs on Chanticleer Drive. One is located near the HTC pond between Brittain Hall and the Wall Building. The other is close to the existing location of the bus stop at the Wall Building and the Woods Pavilion.

There will be no daily vehicular traffic in the area between the gates after construction is completed. This will allow students, faculty, staff and visitors to walk freely through this area.

For emergency situations, gates were installed inside the cul-de-sacs that can be activated to open if emergency vehicles need to pass into the area.

The rendering gives you an idea of the placement of the cul-de-sacs. Faculty/staff will still have access to the gated lots near the Brittain and Wall buildings.

The original intent in the master plan was to create a “pedestrian-friendly campus.” This is one of the additional initiatives designed to move the campus in that direction.

Also over the holidays, a raised crosswalk was installed at the traffic light at Baxley Hall and Wheelwright Auditorium.
