Cleanup of Interstate 95 crosswalk underway
Jasper County Sun Times
Alvin Adkins was walking near the Juanita M. White Crosswalk last year, dodging the large shrubs and tall grass that blanketed the area.
Adkins said he was concerned about the safety of everyone who uses the crosswalk and decided something had to be done to revitalize the area. He also wanted to honor the person it was named for more than 20 years ago.
The Juanita M. White Crosswalk, which passes over Interstate 95 between Exits 18 and 21 in Jasper County, had become overgrown with shrubbery, the pathways littered with weeds. The crosswalk was named in White’s honor in 1994.
