JOHN’S ISLAND:

Working in concert with the South Carolina Coastal Conservation League, with City of Charleston Planners and with local residents, Charleston Moves has worked to torpedo a Charleston County Roadwise plan to substantially widen large portions of Maybank Highway. Along with other opponents of the Roadwise plan, we argued for a network of roads that would disperse traffic, allowing for short trips over local roads instead of focusing all traffic on a single artery. Charleston Moves held that this approach ultimately would provide more easily for the concept of “Complete Streets.”

MOUNT PLEASANT:

Charleston Moves has successfully made its voice heard for “Complete Streets” on two huge projects: Johnny Dodds Boulevard and Coleman Boulevard. Working with the East Cooper Planning Council, we argued for better provisions for both bicyclists and pedestrians on JDB (Rte. 17), and near final plans for this project indicate that we were heard. Similarly, when tentative plans for a new Coleman Boulevard design were unveiled, we argued against a discontinuous bicycle lane, one that would have diverted bicycle traffic from the boulevard to side streets. This is an ongoing issue.
