Well
so
I'll
start
with
kind
of
a
list
here,
I've
got
I've
got
my
presentation
broken
up
into
two
different
groups.
First
is
our
featured
project.
These
are
the
large
projects
that
that
were
part
of
the
second
half
cent
sales
tax
program,
and
we
have
a
number
of
those
that
touch
down
within
the
city
of
charleston.
G
A
F
The
two
to
the
segments
of
main
road
corridor,
glenn
mcconnell,
parkway
capacity,
improvements
along
savannah,
highway,
james
island
intersection
and
bike
and
pit
improvements
along
folly,
road
and
then
the
u.s
17
corridor
study,
the
maybach
highway
improvement
project
or
the
norton,
which
is
now
the
what's
left
of
that
is
the
northern
pitchfork
project.
So
we
we
we've
been
working
with
really
working
with
the
city.
Stormwater
work
with
matt
and
kenzie
there
to
work
through
some
of
our
issues
there,
on
with
stormwater
printing,
make
sure
we're
getting
that
that
correct.
F
F
The
next
one
is
a
big
project,
the
main
road
corridor
segment,
a
we
held
public
meeting
at
the
end
of
end
of
2020.
The
preferred
alternative
was
very
well
supported.
This
is
a
project,
a
lot
of
our
projects.
We
we
talk
a
lot
about
them
in
the
newspaper.
It
seems
some
days
and
controversial,
but
this
is
one
that
has
been
very
well
supported
throughout
throughout
the
conception
to
date.
So
this
is
we've
we're
moving
along
with
this
one
through
the
preliminary
design
phases.
F
It
includes
the
bike
pedestrian
bridge
over
the
stoner
river,
with
connections
to
these
very
roads,
which
we
there's
a
shared
use,
path
that
we
did
a
number
of
years
ago.
There
crosses
over
the
greenway
and
has
a
connection
to
that,
and
then
it
provides
really
that
vital
connection
from
a
bike
fed
standpoint
of
connecting
those,
the
current
infrastructure
in
west
actually
over
to
john's
islands,
and
that's
a
critical
piece
of
bike,
ped
infrastructure
that
we're
that
we're
proud
to
be
providing
there.
It's
also
not
on
the
slide,
but
you
have
the
sterno
park.
F
F
This
is
the
section
between
maybank
highway
and
betsy
harrison
boulevard,
excavation
parkway.
So
we
held
a
public
meeting
early
this
year
and
we're
working
on
a
summary
of
public
comments
now
and
that's
going
to
be
posted
on
that
project
on
the
project
website.
The
kind
of
responses
of
the
comments
as
well
that'll
be
moving
along.
We
plan
to
hold
a
second
public
meeting
next
quarter,
so
I'll
say
this
we'll
get
to
the
into
the
third
quarter.
When
that
what
that
would
be.
F
That
will
be
after
we
have
some
covet
restrictions:
relief
from
that
and
we'll
be
able
to
have
some
some
larger
in-person
meetings.
Hopefully,
the
atmosphere
will
allow
us
for
that.
At
that
time
we
really
feel
like
it
would
be
great
to
connect
with
some
of
the
neighborhoods
and
communities
that
are
on
john's
island.
So
that's
the
that's
the
push
and
the
direction
for
that
one
to
really
get
some
feedback
there.
We
do
expect
what's
going
to
come
out
of
the
the
first
public
comment
session.
Was
that
there's
a
narrowing
down
of
the
alternatives?
F
We
showed
five
alternatives.
We
our
expectation
that
what
we've
seen
is
we
there's
a
few
of
those
that
have
a
significant
number
of
impacts
and
weren't
very
well
supported.
So
we,
our
expectation,
is
maybe
one
to
two
of
those
would
be
eliminated,
and
then
we
come
back
to
the
public
with
that
with
those
remaining
alternatives,
and
then
we
expect
also
to
refine
some
of
the
alternatives
that
were
supported.
So
there
were
some
things
alternative.
One
I
believe
it
was
is
the
widening
of
maybank
highway.
F
Excuse
me
about
hickory
road,
but
there's
some
options:
opportunities
there
to
change
that
design
and
tweak
some
of
that
to
address
some
of
the
comments
that
we've
been
doing
during
this
first
public
comment
period.
So
that's
the
kind
of
things
that
I
would
expect
to
see
an
hour
in
our
second
public
meeting
going
into
late
summer.
This
fall
the
glen
mcconnell
parkway,
widening
project.
This
one
is
near
the
finish
line
for
design
and
permitting
we've
got
construction
plans
at
bot
now
seeking
approval
on
those.
F
F
We
looked.
We
looked
at
pretty
much
every
intersection
through
that
corridor,
and
you
know
the
idea
there
was
to
define,
find
opportunities
to
reduce
congestion,
improves
today's
safety
along
that
corridor,
and
our
consultant
has
provided
us
with
conceptual
drawings
and
cost
estimates
for
each
of
those
improvements
and
we're
going
to
we're
going
to
going
through
that
now
and
we're
going
to
present
that
to
county
council
to
have
to
have
them
give
us
some
guidance
as
far
as
step
forward,
where
what
are
the
priorities
that
we
need
to
be.
F
We
need
to
take
this
project
forward
on
you
know,
I
think
in
the
past
we've
heard
from
mayor
and
others
that
that
the
avondale
area
is
probably
the
number
one
priority,
and
then
we've
also
looked
at
wakfu
snips
and
a
few
others
there
that
we
feel
like
there
may
be.
That
may
be
good
good
projects
that
we
will
we'll
discuss
a
little
bit
further.
F
All
right
on
the
james
island,
this
is
james
island
intersection,
bike,
pet
improvement.
This
was
a
number
of
projects,
four
projects
in
all
the
two
here
central
park
and
riverland
drive,
which
been
much
talked
about
recently.
We
are
continuing
to
move
forward
with
alternative
three,
as
directed
by
county
council
last
november.
I
think
which
would
includes
the
elongated
roundabout,
that
that
is
moving
forward,
and
our
next
steps
really
will
be
begin.
The
acquisition
of
right
away
for
that
project
to
move
the
the
next
project
is
the
folly
road
bike,
pet
improvement.
F
So
this
is
what
you
see
on
the
screen
there.
The
green
bike
lanes
we're
moving
along
on
that
we're
working
with
d.o.t
you're,
really
on
a
maintenance
agreement
that
that's
kind
of
that's,
probably
the
big
hurdle.
We've
got
in
front
of
us
right
now
that
we
hope
to
be
getting
over
very
soon,
but
we're
we're
negotiating
that
and
we're
expecting
some
feedback
from
the
dod
very
soon
on
that,
so
we
can
move
along.
F
F
The
other
two
projects
there
on
james
island
are
fort
johnson
and
secessionville,
which
this
is
a
signalized
intersection,
which
you
typically
see
with
turned
left
turn
lanes
being
installed
right
away.
Acquisition
began
we'll
excuse
these
to
begin
by
april.
It
has
begun,
we'll
begin
discussions
on
that
and
getting
our
things
together,
such
as
appraisals,
and
doing
our
title
search
things
that
we
have
to
do
to
prepare
for
approaching
the
citizens
there
that
live
along
that
intersection.
We've
been
coordinating
with
charleston
water
system
for
for
for
a
fair
amount
of
time.
F
Now
there
is
some
impact
of
water
lines
in
that
area
that
they're
gonna
have
to
relocate
so
we're
putting
together
a
plan
working
with
them
to
make
sure
that
that
moves
them
all.
We
actually
expect
to
go
to
construction
in
late
2022-23,
so
this
one's
got
a
little
bit
longer
path,
but
but
we're
moving
it
forward
as
quickly
as
we
can
fort
johnson
and
camp.
This
is
a
project
that
that's
going
to
be
it's
going
to
be
a
mini
random
roundabout.
F
At
this
intersection
and
the
reason
we
chose,
the
mini
roundabout
was
because
it
had
the
least
amount
of
impacts,
and
it
was
a
very
efficient
design
for
us
to
to
address
the
issues
at
that
intersection
at
the
least
amount
of
property
impacts
and
least
amount
of
tree
impact.
So
it
turned
out
to
be
a
very
good
design
for
that
intersection.
F
We're
currently
taking
public
comments,
there's
designs
that
are
posted
on
the
project
website
now
so
we'll.
We
take
comments
through
that
website.
If
folks
want
to
provide
some
feedback-
and
we
also
the
if
you
may
see
some
work
happening
out
there
on
site
now,
which
is
we're
taking
soil
samples
from
the
from
an
environmental
standpoint,
there's
an
old
convenience
store
that
sits
on
the
corner
that
we're
having
to
do
a
phase.
F
Two
site
assessments,
we're
gonna,
take
soil
samples
to
ensure
that
the
the
soil
there
is
still
is
is
good,
and
it
is
not
a
contaminated
site
that
we
don't
have
any
concerns
there.
So
we're
pretty
much
we're
doing
our
due
diligence
to
make
sure
that
the
property
is
there
and
ready
for
us
to
construct
all
the
last
project.
Here
is
the
us
17
corridor
congestion
improvement
study.
F
So
this
was
a
comprehensive
look
from
avondale
all
the
way
through
september
clark
parkway
to
street,
and
we
have
gone
through
a
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
work
on
this
well
at
a
virtual
public
meeting
at
the
end
of
2020
got
over
300
responses
there
and
it
really
provided
a
survey
for
of
recommended
improvements
and
we'll
have
a
summary
of
that.
We
have
a
final
report.
F
Days
all
right,
the
next
group
of
projects-
and
I
won't
talk
through
all
of
these
but
I'll-
highlight
a
few
as
I
go
along
the
way
and
if
you
have
any
questions
about
any
specific
project,
these
are
our
smaller
allocation
projects.
Each
year
we
have
the
annual
allocation
for
the
different
categories,
such
as
intersection
and
bike
pedestrian,
so
I'll
I'll
go
through
these
a
few
of
them
so
calhoun
street
at
james
island
connector,
which
is
a
pretty
large
project
there
at
the
intersection.
F
F
It
has
some
guide
to
federal
guide
shares
dollars
that
were
applied
to
it,
to
allow
us
to
build
that
project,
so
we're
moving
that
forward.
We
expect
to
have
the
respect
to
bid
this
project.
This
summer
we
have
a
deadline
of
june
30th
to
get
a
package
to
d.o.t,
so
that
can
move
forward
and
we're
on
track
to
do
that.
F
F
Maybank
highway
woodland
shores-
this
is
a
pretty
large
project.
We
also
got
some
federal
funding
through
chats
the
transportation
alternatives
program
so
that
that
project
is
moving
through
design
now
and
it'll
probably
be
probably
22
before
we're
looking
at
construction,
but
but
it
is
moving
along
pretty
well
and
it
includes
the
some
of
the
crossing
there
at
crossing
on
bay
bank
highway,
mid
block
crossing
nicholson
street
savannah,
highway
college.
This
is
a
traffic
calming.
F
F
F
This
we
are
looking
at
hope,
funding
this
project
in
this
fiscal
year,
22.
it
is
moving
along
rather
rapidly
from
a
design
standpoint.
We
we
had
a.
We
had
a
public
release
a
number
of
months
ago
that
showed
that
design
what
it
would
look
like
with
the
expectations
that
we
we
met
a
number
of
months
ago,
mayor
and
councilman
cade
to
kind
of
talk
through
that
and
and
what
that
was
going
to
look
like
and
not
no
longer
doing.
The
change
of
the
alternative
alternate
merge.
F
It
was
no
longer
going
to
be
removed
that
would
stay
in
place,
but
there
will
be
a
lot
of
other
opportunities
to
connect
the
neighborhoods
on
either
side
to
the
center
there,
the
the
businesses
that
are
there
in
the
center
between
those
two
major
highways,
so
that
that's
that's
the
project
there.
That
once
was
seven
and
171
intersection
proven,
is
now
old,
town,
district
transportation
improvement,
because
it's
a
little
bit
more
comprehensive
than
just
that
intersection
itself.
F
B
I
was
just
going
to
ask
on
the
beast
ferry
sanders
road
improvements
that
let's
see
where
yeah
so
the
invitation
to
bid.
Do
you
do
you
know
just
I
get
questions
on
it
all
the
time,
especially
with
some
of
the
new
developments
going
in
there
when
you
would
expect
construction
to
be
completed
in
terms
of
getting
the
light
that
would
be
going
in
at
that
intersection,
and
that
type
of
thing
that.
F
C
F
A
F
A
F
A
And
a
third
question
did,
I
presume,
y'all
work
with
matt
fountain,
also
on
that
calhoun
street
james
island
connector
improvement,
because
I
know
that's
a
location
that
we
had
talked
about.
Having
a
small
pump
station
in
the
future
was:
was
there
any
consideration
of
that,
or
at
least
why
you're
buying
right-of-way
to
to
to
make
room
for
that?
We.
F
Talked
about
that-
and
I
don't
know
to
what
extent
of
detail,
but
that
has
been
a
discussion
as
to
whether
that
could
be
included
at
a
pump
station
there
just
before
it
goes
into
the
marsh
or
either
pump
station,
as
well
as
some
some
backflow
valves
that
could
be
installed
into
that
area.
So,
there's
it's
an
ongoing
discussion,
we're
not
too
far
down
the
line
from
a
design
standpoint
that
all
of
those
things
couldn't
we
couldn't
partner
with
you
all
to
make
them
make
some
things
happen.
There.
A
A
You
know,
in
a
similar
fashion
to
the
congestion
study
that
you
did
on
outer
17.
We
we've
had
a
number
of
issues
come
up,
councilmember
shealy's
on
on
the
line
here
as
well,
about
61
outer
old,
south
carolina
61
and
whether
we
could
partner
with
you
and
the
scdot
to
do
congestion
study.
If
you
will
on
all
those
intersections
once
you
get
past
the
glenn
mcconnell,
because
you
know
it's
clear
from
the
scenic
byway
status
and
all
the
beautiful
trees
that
you
know,
we
would
never
consider
doing
a
widening
there.
A
A
F
So
it's
a
little
bit
different,
so
I'll
say
there
are
some
opportunities
for,
though,
for
those
requests
to
come
in
for
intersection
improvements.
There
are
ones
that
and
I'd
be
happy
to
work
with
keith
and
staff
there
to
maybe
identify
some
of
those
from
from
a
very
high
level
standpoint,
and
also
the
ctc
would
be
another
opportunity
for
a
request
for
more
studies.
The
ctc
does
take
study
requests
and
that
would
be
a
good
opportunity
to
look
at
the
corridor
as
a
whole.
A
B
F
E
G
E
Okay,
sorry
about
that,
I
needed
to
connect
to
the
camera
microphone.
We
have
put
in
request
for
intersection
improvements
through
the
sales
tax
request
process
this
year
at
magwood,
at
ashley,
crossing
drive,
ashley
hall
at
sam
red
ash,
river,
road
and
west
bridge
road,
ashley
river
in
glendale,
and
also
st
andrews
and
riverdale.
E
B
B
You
got
some
feedback
going
on
all
right,
well,
seeing
no
further
questions
and
thank
you,
richard
and
your
team
for
putting
that
together
and
presenting
that
today.
So
seeing
no
further
questions.
I'll
move
on
to
agenda
item
4,
eastside,
community
development,
corporation
residential
parking,
district
expansion
and
I'll
turn
that
over
to
director.
E
E
Site
visits
walked
the
streets
with
the
council,
member
and
the
neighborhood
president
and
had
many
follow-up
meetings
as
well
and
what
was
concluded
was
to
expand
the
existing
district.
I,
which
you
see
on
the
screen,
is
outlined
in
the
red
to
include
what's
in
the
yellow,
which
would
essentially
include
almost
all
of
what's
designated
as
the
east
side.
Neighborhood
everything
you
see
in
the
light
purple
is
actually
the
east
side
neighborhood,
so
essentially
from
cooper
street
up
towards
harris
street.
E
We
are
planning
to
work
with
the
neighborhood
on
what
those
specific
street
designations
look
like
it
most
likely
be
a
combination
of
residential
streets,
no
parking
on
certain
sides
and
then
also
two
hour
parking
similar
to
what
you
might
see
on
south
battery
and
other
parts
of
the
city
where
there's
a
limit
of
parking,
but
not
necessarily
of
who
could
park
there.
So
we'll
work
with
the
community
on
that.
What's
in
front
of
you
all
for
approval
is
an
ordinance
change.
E
Zoning
ordinance
change
to
expand
parking
district
I
to
not
just
include
what's
already
in
there
in
the
red,
but
to
this
yellow
portion
as
well,
and
that's
what's
on
the
table
for
your
approval,
I
want
to
read
into
the
record
a
portion
of
the
east
side.
Community
development
corporation's
letter
that
they
sent
dated
may
10th
to
mr
somerville,
and
I
the
east
side,
community
development
corporation
and
the
east
side
community
is
in
full
support
of
the
expansion
of
the
residential
parking
district
to
stuart.
E
The
east
side
had
its
community
meeting
on
may
5th,
2021
at
6
pm
via
zoom
and
in
person.
The
residential
parking
expansion
was
emailed
to
residents
and
information
is
displayed
on
the
window
at
60
america
street,
and
that
was
signed
by
ms
gamble,
so
just
a
portion
of
that
letter,
but
wanted
to
make
it
clear
that
the
neighborhood
has
supported
this
change
and
hope.
You
all
approve.
B
A
D
B
H
Good
afternoon,
y'all
really
quick,
based
on
what
council
approved
the
contractor
was
able
to
rebuild
the
two
speed
hunt
locations
on
emerald
forest.
That's
over
there
in
providence
commons.
I
believe,
that's
councilman,
shealy's
district,
so
we
were
able
to
get
that
done
as
well
as
the
one
on
tribal
comic
speed,
hop
on
country
club
drive.
They
were
just
old
and
outdated
needed
repair
and
we
were
able
to
get
those
done
other
locations.
We
have
marked
the
one
speed
hub
location
on
bogar
street.
H
I
got
the
speed
hub
approval
location
form
back
from
the
neighborhood
today,
so
we
will
work
with
the
contractor
to
get
those
scheduled
to
be
installed
shortly.
The
committee
approved
a
raised
speed
table
on
jackson
street
as
well.
I've
been
over
to
that
location,
but
there's
some
construction
going
on
right
now,
so
I'm
gonna
wait
till
the
construction
get
out
the
way
before
we
get
that
installed,
but
hopefully
that
will
be
done
in
june
and
the
last
the
locations
that's
in
carolina
bay.
H
H
B
Okay,
the
only
the
only
one
that
I
had
just
would
be
for
the
projects
kind
of
in
the
pipeline.
I
know
I've
had
people
don't
want
to
duplicate,
signing
petitions
and
whatnot,
so
maybe
in
a
month
or
so,
if
we
could
just
get
a
list
of
kind
of
what's
coming
in
that's
going
to
be
considered
under
the
fiscal
year
22
budget
that
would
be
great
just
to
see
what's
kind
of
in
the
queue
okay.
Well.
Thank
you,
mr
summerville,
for
that
update.
B
E
I
haven't
emailed
them
back
yet,
but
anticipated
that
they
will
be
sending
out
that
final
draft
to
the
various
different
stakeholders
this
week.
I
also
wanted
to
let
you
all
know.
As
you
know,
in
february,
s.a.d.o.t
secretary
hall
passed
the
complete
streets
policy
in
a
department-wide
directive,
specifically
around
that
work.
Part
of
that
directive
was
the
establishment
of
a
statewide
council
that
would
assist
the
state
d.o.t
in
navigating
that
new
policy
and
how
it
gets
implemented.
E
We
will
have
representation
there
from
the
city
in
those
conversations
to
walk
through
that,
and
what
exactly
that
looks
like
later
on.
This
may
also
wanted
to
make
sure
you
all
knew.
As
you
know,
we've
been
constantly
selecting
intersections
for
project
700
crosswalks,
where
we
improve
signalized
intersections
for
better
pedestrian
safety.
Four
of
those
intersections
are
on
the
docket
for
this
year,
rutledge
at
cleveland,
coming
at
vanderhorst,
coming
at
radcliffe
and
coming
at
moore
street.
E
We're
expecting
that
those
improvements
should
be
completed
by
the
end
of
this
month
and
then
also
on
march
24th.
Our
office
sent
a
letter
to
sadot
with
a
request
regarding
streets
that
were
along
the
greenway.
We
wanted
to
make
a
request
that
we've
heard
from
many
citizens
that
the
speed
on
a
number
of
those
streets
that
intersect
with
the
greenway
are
way
too
high
and
wanted
to
make
the
request
that
some
of
those
streets
be
lowered
to
25
miles
an
hour.
E
E
That
was
a
little
bit
discouraged
about
the
fact
that
magnolia
road
was
not
a
part
of
that
inclusion,
especially
since,
in
their
study
they
found
quote
that
72
percent
of
vehicles
sampled
exceeded
the
posted
speed
limit
on
magnolia
road,
and
so
you
know
yes,
enforcement,
but
also,
how
are
we
better
designating
our
streets
as
well?
So
we'll
continue
to
work
with
sadlt
on
that?
E
Finally,
I
wanted
to
take
a
moment
to
let
you
all
know
that
we
are
unfortunately
losing
two
amazing
folk
in
our
department,
michael
mathis,
who
has
served
the
city
for
19
years,
both
as
traffic
operations,
a
manager
of
our
traffic
operations
division,
but
also
as
a
gis
technician
and
then
also
ricky,
who
has
served
the
city
for
38
years,
having
made
well
over
75
000
of
our
signs.
Most
of
the
signs
that
you
see
out
on
the
street.
E
He
has
had
a
hand
in
designing
or
making
a
choice
of
from
your
neighborhood
signs
to
your
child
at
play.
Signs
to
your
welcome
to
city
of
charleston
sons
he's
a
man
behind
the
scenes,
but
you
see
his
work
literally
everywhere,
and
so
I
wanted
to
invite
them
to
be
with
us
just
to
have
a
few
words
and
say
hi
to
you.
E
We
had
a
great
barbecue
celebration
with
them
earlier
this
afternoon,
just
to
show
some
love
and
and
also
want
to
give
thanks
to
the
mayor
for
his
letters
to
both
of
them
just
showing
some
support
and
appreciation.
So
we
have
both
michael
and
ricky
here,
if
you
all
don't
mind
allowing
them
a
few
moments
to
just
say
hello
to
you
all.
If
that's
okay,
mr
chair.
A
D
C
G
E
G
G
A
A
C
Thank
you
ricky.
Thank
you,
keith,
mayor
council
members.
Thank
you
all
so
much
for
the
opportunity
to
to
speak.
Unfortunately,
I
don't
have
38
years
in.
I
realized
today
that
I
only
have
half
the
time
that
that
ricky's
put
in
so
hopefully
in
another
19
years,
I'll
I'll,
be
able
to
say
I've
worked
in
public
service
for
for
38
years,
but
it's
been
a
wonderful
19
and
a
half
years
working
with
the
city
mayor.
C
A
A
I
think
it'll
really
enhance
the
experience
up
there
and
allow
us
to
keep
things
safer
as
well,
so
dual
purpose,
and
and
since
it
is
related
to
tnt-
and
I
I
did
want
to
for
the
record-
let
everyone
know
that
that
we're
going
to
on
a
I
guess,
a
trial
basis
or
a
test
basis,
make
this
conversion
and
see
how
that
works.
For
the
next
few
months.
I
Thanks,
I
I'm
very
sorry
to
come
late
to
the
meeting.
I
was
at
the
james
island,
intergovernmental
drainage
committee
meeting,
which
is
also
very
important.
I'm
serving,
but
I
was
just
I
watched
the
the
last
half
of
the
press
conference
mayor
and
it
just
occurred
to
me.
Procedurally,
did
we
have
to
get
dot's
permission
for
that?
Are
we
doing
it
as
an
emergency
just
to
know
for
the
future?
What's
the
process
for
changing
the
direction
of
the
street
traffic.
