The Ashley Crossing Coalition is about creating safe connections
for pedestrians, bicyclists and drivers as we travel across
the Ashley River.
I support the Ashley Crossing Coalition and the proposal to
re-dedicate one of the four northbound Route 17 lanes over the
Legare Bridge for the dedicated use of pedestrians and bicyclists.
This link is a crucial connection and will be transformative
for the safety and health of all citizens in the area. Retrofitting
the northbound side provides bicycle and pedestrian capacity
while keeping automobile capacity consistent with traffic useage,
and matching the southbound bridge.
I support appropriate improvements to the James Island Connector;
which could include lowering the speed limit and adding pavement
markings and signage, or a barrier protected multi-use path.
All actions ensure comprehensive safety improvements to crossing
the Ashley River.
The time is now to support cycling and pedestrian safety in
our City!
The Ashley Crossing Coalition is an initiative by Charleston
Moves.
