Road improvements near Crestline Library

A portion of Lake Gregory Drive in front of the new Crestline Library, currently under construction, will be getting a makeover.

The Board of Supervisors on Tuesday approved the road approvements, which call for creating a 250-foot decomposed granite walkway on the west side of Lake Gregory Drive to provide pedestrian access to the library. In addition, about 1,300 square feet of pavement will be repaved and new road striping added, including a left turn lane into the library.

"The new Crestline Library is going to be a gem that attracts visitors from throughout the mountain communities, and these road improvements are key to ensuring residents have easy and safe access to their new library," Second District Supervisor Paul Biane said.

County public works estimate the street improvements will cost $100,000.

The new 7,641-square-foot library will include a multipurpose room, children's reading area, computer lab, and study areas. The site is within easy walking distance of the Crestline Village Park, Crestline Skate Park, and the outer Lake Gregory walking trail.
