Forest Acres, West End to have traffic loops extended

EASLEY — The School District of Pickens County and the city of Easley have reached an agreement to lengthen the traffic loops at Forest Acres Elementary and West End Elementary.

SDPC’s board of trustees approved the district’s Capital Improvement Plan for the coming year last week, which included funds for extended traffic loops at Forest Acres and West End.

With the inclusion of the traffic loops, the district’s Capital Improvement Plan was underfunded by $207,646, but Easley City Council offered to fund the difference.

“The traffic situation at these schools has been getting worse for several years, and it’s been a high priority for the district and the city to find a solution,” SDPC superintendent Danny Merck said.
