TO REQUEST THAT THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION NAME THE WALKWAY ADJACENT TO THE PORTION OF SOUTH CAROLINA HIGHWAY 6 IN LEXINGTON COUNTY THAT CROSSES THE LAKE MURRAY DAM THE "JOHNNY W. JEFFCOAT WALKWAY", AND ERECT APPROPRIATE MARKERS OR SIGNS ALONG THIS WALKWAY THAT CONTAIN THE WORDS "JOHNNY W. JEFFCOAT WALKWAY".

Whereas, in 1999, during meetings between SCANA Corporation, the Department of Transportation, and Lexington County officials, Lexington County Council member, Johnny W. Jeffcoat worked diligently to ensure that the planned 1.885 mile walkway that would cross the Lake Murray Dam would allow pedestrians to safely cross the dam from Lexington to Irmo and vice versa; and

Whereas, since its completion, the walkway has given walkers and joggers of all ages, from sunrise to sunset seven days a week, a safe location to exercise and enjoy the scenery of beautiful Lake Murray; and

Whereas, for his efforts, it is fitting and proper for the members of the General Assembly to name the walkway that crosses the Lake Murray Dam the "Johnny W. Jeffcoat Walkway". Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring:

That the members of the General Assembly request that the Department of Transportation name the walkway adjacent to the portion of South Carolina Highway 6 in Lexington County that crosses the Lake Murray Dam the "Johnny W. Jeffcoat Walkway", and erect appropriate markers or signs along this walkway that contain the words "Johnny W. Jeffcoat Walkway".

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Department of Transportation.
