New Park, Landscape Improvements Coming to Flyway Drive
Two exciting new projects are beginning to come together on
Flyway Drive. The future Surfsong Park is located on a small
section of land at the corner of Flyway Drive and Surfsong
Road across from 65 Surfsong. This relaxing passive park will
be the perfect respite for walkers or bikers in the area, and
will feature benches, a water fountain with pet fountain, and
a butterfly garden. Work is expected to begin in early August
and finish by Aug. 31.
The second project is an extension of the Flyway Drive
landscape renovations that started in 2015. The project area
runs from Surfsong Road to the entrance of Osprey Beach.
KICA will be working within its road rights-of-way.
Work on this project began in June with boring under the
road for irrigation. These landscape renovations are much
smaller in scope than the first phase and are expected to be
complete by July 31.
"KICA is proud to continue its reinvestment into the island's
landscape with these two projects,” said KICA Director of
Operations Shannon White. “We believe they will be beautiful
additions to the area."

A Message from Livability: Yard Debris Pickup
A clean, well-landscaped yard is paramount to maintaining and enhancing one's property. Yard work does, however, create debris
that must be disposed of properly. To aid in this process, KICA has the following regulations regarding yard debris.
• Yard debris is picked up every Thursday.
• Debris may be left in paper bags on your property's rightof-way at the street.
• Large amounts must be hauled away by you or your landscaper.
• At no time should you or your landscaper place debris,
including blown leaves, on KICA's easements, rights-ofway or other properties (even if undeveloped).
• Leaves and grass must be placed in paper bags for pickup.
Please speak with your landscaper to be sure they understand the debris regulations on Kiawah. For Town of Kiawah Island
regulations on yard debris, visit kiawahisland.org, and for KICA's Rules and Regulations, visit kica.us.
