Leon County Government and the Knight Creative Communities Institute (KCCI) invite the community to the unveiling of the newly constructed elevated and artful crosswalks on Dempsey Mayo Road on Monday, November 13, at 10 a.m. at WT Moore Elementary, 1706 Dempsey Mayo Road. The elevated and imaginative crosswalks on Dempsey Mayo Road at Emerald Chase, Meandering Lane/Meandering Way, and at the W.T. Moore Elementary School Entrance are innovative measures taken by the County in partnership with the KCCI to enhance pedestrian crossing visibility and slow down vehicular traffic in this area. This project supports the County’s ongoing efforts to provide essential public safety infrastructure as well as promote livability, health, and sense of community by enhancing mobility. Funding for the artistic designs on the crosswalks was made possible due to an American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) grant. The three crosswalks are adjacent to the Westminster Oaks Retirement Community and W.T. Moore Elementary School. The artistic designs featured on the elevated crosswalks display a community sense of public art and draw the attention of oncoming traffic to the crosswalks to enhance visibility and prioritize pedestrian safety.
Why I joined the Chamber
“In my line of work, success is dependent on cultivating relationships, which can be difficult without a common thread on which to build. The Chamber of Commerce has been the common thread that allowed me in the door where I could demonstrate the value I bring to the relationship. I recently began a working relationship with Anna Duren from Walter Green born entirely out of a connection first made by the Chamber. The opportunities afforded by my company’s Chamber membership opened doors for me in ways I have not seen with other business development strategies. In banking, familiarity and trust come first, and that usually has to develop over time. This is why the Chamber works for me – it allows me to dedicate the time and put the relationship before the ask.”
