... World Friendship Pocket Park Project
World Friendship Pocket Park Project Offers Residents The Opportunity To Purchase Engraved Bricks To Adorn The Park
World Friendship Pocket Park Engraved Brick Order Form
The Friendship Capital of The World Project is inclusive of all races, ages, socio-economic status, and abilities. Summerville’s promotion of friendship and acts of kindness are an equal opportunity to all persons who choose to participate. It requires no money, special qualifications, or abilities to show acts of friendship, and kindness to others. The last week in July is now declared Friendship Week in Summerville, which concludes with a Friendship Festival in J.R. “Dick” Dowdy Park. To bring this project to the next level, Summerville Main Street is heading up The World Friendship Pocket Park Project. The pocket park will be located across from the Summerville Depot and will encompass the Jon Payne Pavilion. The park was designed by Nikki Benefield, a Main Street Board Member who studied landscape architecture at the University of Georgia. Special features of the planned park will include a “Solid Rock of World Friendship” to be surrounded by engraved bricks, a flag pole to be adorned with The World Friendship Flag, a wide variety of colorful plantings to be accentuated by up lighting, an irrigation system, and an upgraded seating area under the pavilion. Seed money for this project was donated by John Turner and Dan Lipscomb with hopes of the pocket park becoming a focal point and photo spot for locals, as well as visitors. Summerville Main Street is offering a unique opportunity to remember a loved one, commemorate an event, or immortalize anything else important to you. The “Buy a Brick” campaign will raise funds for the construction of The World Friendship Pocket Park while also highlighting and remembering “friends” of our community. Each 4" x 8" engraved brick, which includes 3 lines of text with 20 characters per line, are currently being sold for the cost of $100. To purchase a brick, you may order a brick in person at the Summerville Main Street Office during normal business hours. Brick order forms may be downloaded from the City of Summerville website at www.summervillega.org or you may request an order form by emailing slocklear@summervillega.org. Bricks are limited. The deadline to order bricks is July 12, or until the bricks are sold out. Please note that there is a 4 to 6 weeks turn around for the commemorative bricks to be made, and delivered, once the final order is placed. Engraved bricks are anticipated to be back around the end of August to be installed. A special ground breaking event for the pocket park is scheduled for July 30 during the 2022 Friendship Festival. Completion of The World Friendship Pocket Park is anticipated to be fall of 2022.

... Storms from Hurricane Irma
The projected path of Hurricane Irma has the remnants of the storm coming into our area. Heavy rainstorms and winds can be expected during this time. During heavy thunderstorms power outages and localized flooding can occur.
The Summerville Police Department recommends that drivers only travel on the roadways when it is necessary and safe to do so. If it is necessary to drive during these inclimate times, the City wants to drivers to exercise caution and keep the following information in mind.

Power Outages
Power outages often affect the traffic lights at intersections throughout the City causing them to be inoperative or revert to a flashing yellow or red mode. When a driver comes upon a traffic signal that is not operating properly that the following rules apply:
At an intersection with an inoperative traffic light, drivers are required to stop in the same manner as if a stop sign were facing in each direction at the intersection. (In other words, treat the intersection as having a four-way stop.)
At an intersection where a traffic signal is flashing red, drivers are required to stop as if at a stop sign.
At an intersection where a traffic signal is flashing yellow, drivers may proceed through the intersection with caution.
Additionally, when power outages occur, street lights may be inoperative. Watch out for pedestrians or roadway obstructions along these darkened roadways.
Localized Flooding
The following are tips for dealing with high water on the roadways:
A driver, especially at night, has no idea how deep the water is or whether the road underneath is still intact. Pay attention to “Road Closed” signs.
Remember that it takes only two feet of rushing water to carry away most vehicles. This includes pickups and SUVs.
Avoid areas that are likely to flood, including dips, low spots and floodplains; always heed flood warnings, instructions from emergency officials and public safety officials directing traffic
