The West Lincoln Sidewalk connection ensures that students and pedestrians from area residences can safely access the new public library and future Westwinds Park site. Connecting the schools with the library and park was an immediate goal of the County Commissioners upon receiving the gracious land donation for the new library and park facilities. The 2800 linear ft. of sidewalk includes two crossings at Shoal Rd. and Westwinds Rd. with safety signals and push buttons. The sidewalk was a $338,000 investment which was partially included in the library project funds. The project was designed by REI Engineers and constructed by Custom Site Development, a division of Quinn Sales, Inc. Lincoln County Facilities Management coordinated the project in conjunction with the North Carolina Department of Transportation, Lincoln County Schools, Lincoln County Library System, and private landowners.
