Betton Hills Area Improvements

Betton Area Projects

McCord Pond Drainage Ditch Improvements

The McCord Drainage Ditch Project will address erosion and maintenance access issues along the McCord Pond drainage ditch, starting at Betton Road and ending 300 feet north of Post Road (behind Ashford Club Apartments). Erosion along this segment of the ditch has caused steep side slopes and deep drop-offs, and the wooden retaining wall located north of Post Road, which has reached the end of its useful life, restricts proper access for maintenance. Construction is anticipated to last 12 months, starting in August 2022. Read more here.

Lee Avenue Drainage Improvements

As part of our continued dedication to improve existing drainage infrastructure and mitigate drainage issues in Betton Hills and throughout the community, the City of Tallahassee has undertaken the Lee Avenue Drainage Improvement Study. Some of the existing stormwater infrastructure in Betton Hills is inadequate to handle runoff from regularly occurring rainfall events. As a result, many homeowners throughout the area are experiencing regular yard flooding. Some owners on Lee Avenue and W. Randolph Circle have reported flooding in their garages and homes. Project design is anticipated to be complete in 2020, construction to begin in 2021. Read more here.

Hickory & Spruce Water Main Improvement Project

The Hickory and Spruce Water Main Improvement project replaced aging and undersized water main infrastructure along Hickory Avenue, Spruce Avenue, Chouteau Avenue and Sycamore Street in the Betton Hills Neighborhood. As part of this project, the City also installed additional hydrants to improve fire protection. This work was done in advance of and in coordination with the City’s roadway resurfacing program. Underground utility work is now complete, and resurfacing is being planned. Read more here.

Betton Road Traffic and Pedestrian Enhancement Project

On June 8, 2022, Betton Road opened fully from Centerville Road to Thomasville Road, marking the completion of the Betton Road Traffic and Pedestrian Enhancement Project.

A more than $3 million investment in local infrastructure, the primary purpose of the project was to reconstruct the road base of Betton Road, which was reaching the end of its service life. The City used this opportunity to also improve pedestrian safety along the corridor and upgrade the existing underground utilities, including water, sewer and stormwater drainage.

Area residents and the nearby homeowner's association were actively engaged in the process and joined in the ribbon-cutting ceremony to mark the end of construction. See photos from the event at Talgov.com/Photos.
