A project to improve the gravel roads of Breman Lane, John Sneed Lane, Graham Drive, and Appleton Way. The scope of the project includes paving the dirt roads, drainage improvements, curb and gutter, new sidewalks, and installing new signs. The project will improve safety of these roadways, provide safer multimodal facilities by providing sidewalks for nonmotorized travel, increase access to roadways, and allow greater connectivity to parks and multi-use paths.

Project Updates
Survey and Geotechnical crews will be out along Graham Drive, Appleton Way (near Cypress Cove Park), John Sneed Lane, and Breman Lane starting the week of May 12, 2025. Work will take a few weeks to complete. Crews will have trucks and equipment out along the roadway. Please use caution while driving in the area.
The Environment Review is completed and the State has authorized the use of grant funding. Next steps are to begin survey and geotechnical services for the project.
The Environmental Review is complete and the Town of Leland has determined that the project will have no significant impact on the human environment. The notice of findings and intent to request release of funds is out for public comment and will run from March 4, 2025 through March 19, 2025.
McGill Associates will have their Environmental Specialist out in the field next week to look at each gravel roadway and gather information for the Environmental Review. Their work will be sent to the State for formal review.
With the award of the FY2024 Community Project Funding, Town Staff is working with the Engineer to conduct an Environmental Review for each gravel road. The Environmental Review is an analysis of impacts of the project on the surrounding environment and will be reviewed by the State Historic Preservation Office, Fish & Wildlife, and other state environmental authorities.
The Town was selected for FY2024 Community Project Funding through the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for the survey, design, and construction of the improvements on the four gravel roads of John Sneed Lane, Breman Lane, Graham Drive, and Appleton Way.
The geotechnical inspection and field data have been completed. The Engineer will be reviewing and developing preliminary design plans for the roadway improvements along John Sneed Lane over the next several months.
ECS Southeast will have crews out starting the week of January 15, 2024 to perform the geotechnical inspection along John Sneed Lane. Their work will be sent to the engineer for review and recommendation for street pavement structure design and specifications.
The Town has brought onboard McGill Associates to provide Preliminary and Geotechnical Engineering for the design of improvements.
The Town has budgeted for the design of John Sneed Lane and is working to bring on an Engineering Firm to begin the next phase of design for John Sneed only. Town Staff will continue to look into grant opportunities for all the unpaved roads.
