Five Points... Six Points, just fix it!
This intersection continued to be the joke of the Tuesday night Long Range Transportation Plan public meeting. No solutions yet but this much talked about landmark is definately on the "How To Fix It" list.
We had a great turn out of concerned citizens seeking suggestions to their worst nightmares. It was fascinating to hear the many problem areas and different possibilities of how to better them. We all have the same goals... safety, better traffic flow, side walks, bike lanes, green space and connectivity just to name a few.
Everyone assembled around the maps with drawing tools in hand and began to show one another their areas of concern. Below are a few that were mentioned:
Cashua and Second Loop; Marsh and Edisto; Cherokee and Irby; Palmetto and Edisto; Cherokee and Wisteria; Divert the beach traffic PLEASE; Sidewalks are needed everywhere; Widen McIver Rd to Quinby; Savannah Grove Rd can't handle the growth; Connect Claussen to National Cemetary Rd; Relocate signage; Third Loop is not wide enough and there is no where to go; Paul Jones Rd needs to be four lanes; Keep intersections clean - no trees; No light poles and wires above intersections; Make the land along Jeffries Creek a park or green space.
Then there was this one. Tractor trailers are a problem. Why not put everything back on rail. Isn't that how Florence got started?
This barely scratches the surface of the many conversations around the maps. The Long Range Transportation Plan will take months to prepare and we need your help. Tell us how we can turn your traffic nightmares into pleasant dreams!
