City of Charleston Committee on Traffic and Transportation 10/11/22
A

A

Two
committee
meetings
ago,
what
this
is,
is
creating
a
stream
deline
process
to
allow
the
city
to
reduce
speed
limits
on
roads
within
our
city
limits.
As
you
can
see
from
the
packet
we
have
gone
through
and
removed
the
requirements
requiring
a
public
hearing.
After
reviewing
the
state
code,
which
is
section
56,
5
1540.
Regarding
speed
limit
Alterations
by
local
authorities,
we
do
have
the
right
to
remove
the
public
hearing
component.
E
C
E
C
Council,
member
seekings-
yes
very
briefly,
Mr
chairman
I,
just
want
to
thank
you
very
much
for
doing
this
anything
we
could
do
to
make
our
streets
safer,
I'm
100
in
favor
of
and
if
you
ever
get
a
chance
to
talk
to
some
state
legislators
to
give
us
a
little
more
freedom
on
our
streets.
That
would
be
really
great,
but
thank
you
for
doing
this.
A
D
Sir,
basically
I
just
wanted
to
give
the
committee
an
update
regarding
the
valet
parking
RFP
that
we
put
out.
Unfortunately,
we
did
not
get
any
proposals
submitted,
so
we're
sitting
on
zero
as
of
right
now,
the
valet
parking
franchise
agreement
expired
I
believe
it
was
September
16th,
so
Winton
spoke
with
the
mayor
about
it
and
right
now,
I'm
working
with
Meg
Thompson
with
the
neighborhood
services
and
we're
just
on
talking
with
the
businesses
about
still
wanting
to
try
to
utilize
this
program.
D
C
Receiving
I
I,
thank
you
Mr
chairman,
thank
you.
Robbie
I
still
think
there's
an
appetite
for
valet
parking
in
the
areas
we're
talking
about,
particularly
the
East
Bay
Street
Corridor
and
Kingdom
Upper
King
Street
Corridor.
Having
one
company
run,
it
all
seems
to
be
problematic.
I
think
they've
got
like
everybody
else.
C
They've
got
trouble
getting
employees,
but
I
think
if
we
go
straight
to
the
businesses
in
that
area
and
I
suspect,
Rob,
you've
already
heard
from
some
of
them
that
they're
still
interested
in
having
ballet
so
yeah
keep
those
spots
available
and
see
what
the
survey
shows
and
craft
a
program
that
fits
accordingly.
Yes,
we
need
it,
I
mean
it
I,
don't
know
if
you
all
were
downtown
this
weekend,
but
you
know
the
old
joke.
How
long
does
it
take
to
also
recover
from
a
hurricane.
F
C
Second
Sunday
on
a
Columbus
Day
I
mean
it
was
crazy,
this
weekend
downtown
and
their
cars
and
everywhere.
So
anything
we
can
do
to
help
move
things
through.
I.
Think
is
great.
So
thank
you
for
your
hard
work,
we'll
look
forward
to
hearing
back
and
being
able
to
craft
something
that
that's
with
the
spaces.
We've
already
got,
don't
give
the
spaces
up
yet.
A
D
A
A
F
How
about
now?
Yes,
okay,
great
okay,
so
I'm
gonna
quickly,
there's
a
lot
of
them!
So
I'm
gonna
try
to
quickly
go
through
all
the
City
of
Charleston
requested
projects
that
we
have
approved
for
funding
and
I'll
start
first
with
the
the
larger
ones.
These
are
the
ones
that
were
out
in
the
2016
referendum,
our
the
first
one
actually
from
the
first
referendum.
So
that's
the
northern
Pitchfork.
F
So
the
northern
Pitchfork
we
actually
advertised
that
last
month
and
we
opened
bids
on
Friday
and
the
apparent
low
bidder
came
in
at
4.3
million
dollars,
which
is
I'm
glad
to
say
within
budget.
So
we're
going
to
take
it
out
of
the
council
later
this
month
and
ask
them
to
award
that
project.
So
I'm
sure
everybody's
here
glad
to
hear
that.
F
F
Net
segment
a
we
are
currently
have
a
team
that
is
evaluating
the
first
phase
of
what
we
call
a
two-step
RFP
process.
So
we're
evaluating
the
request
for
qualifications
from
several
engineering
firms,
we're
going
to
shortlist
that
and
then
we're
going
to
do
in-person
interviews
and
do
it
to
what
we
call
an
RFP
process
and
we
expect
to
award
that
and
construction
to
start.
F
Next,
we
have
segment
C,
which
is
it
started
out
on
the
referendum,
as
maybe
find
Bohicket
Road
Winan,
but
through
the
environmental
process
we
had
to
evaluate
several
Alternatives,
so
there
are
seven
Alternatives.
We
have
looked
at
in
depth
and
we
actually
have
responded
to
over
700
comments
from
our
last
public
meeting
this
summer
and
the
summary
of
those
comments
and
the
results
are
on
the
web
page
as
of
yesterday.
F
F
Next,
we
have
the
Savannah
highway
capacity,
Improvement
project,
we
just
closed
the
public
comment
period.
So
we're
going
to
respond
to
all
those
comments
and
put
a
summary
of
those
comments
on
our
web
page.
We
also
need
to
come
back
to
the
city
and
work
out
a
right-of-way
agreement
for
that
that
one
property
right
there
at
Nicholson,
the
the
steakhouse
place,
the
antique
store.
So
before
we
move
this
project
forward,
we
need
to
make
sure
that
y'all
are
okay.
F
F
We
have
a
clear
path
forward
from
Council
about
two
years
ago,
so
we
are
basically
doing
a
path,
all
the
way
from
Woodland
Shores
to
the
senior
center,
and
we
have
reviewed
those
preliminary
plans.
They
test
us
with
Trying
to
minimize
the
right-of-way
impacts
and
the
tree
impacts.
So
we
have
made
a
lot
of
comments
to
those
plans
we're
having
to
do
a
little
bit
more
investigation
on
some
trees,
where
we
think
we
could
save
some
better
trees.
F
So
they
are
addressing
those
and
we
should
have
those
plans
submitted
to
the
dot
within
the
next
months,
meaning
we
can
move
forward
pretty
quickly
on
this
after
that
gets
done.
The
next
one
is
the
Folly
Road
Bike
ped
Improvement
project.
We
are
currently
buying
right
away
and
we
hope
to
have
that
one
out.
F
Then
we
have
the
Fort,
Johnson
and
secessionville
road
project.
I
I
actually
talked
about
this
one.
Last
week
at
the
James
Island
meeting,
it
was
requested
that
we
do
some
improvements
at
this
intersection.
As
you
can
see,
it's
kind
of
been
Askew,
which
is
not
desirable,
so
we
did
a
road
safety
audit
years
ago
and
we
found
that
we
couldn't
do
a
roundabout
because
of
the
the
right,
the
right-of-way
impacts
with
the
churches.
F
So
we
went
ahead
with
a
signal
and
we
have
we're
currently
buying
all
the
right-of-way
for
this,
but
we
have
just
recently
found
that
the
traffic
study
does
not
support
or
warrant
a
signal.
Yet
so
we
are,
you
know,
talking
to
dot
they
they're
trying
to
make
the
numbers
work.
Unfortunately,
it
does
not
warrant
the
signal
right
now,
so
we're
going
to
continue
buying
the
right-of-way
and
shelters
and
just
do
a
study
every
three
months
when
school's
in
session
until
it
does
warrant
a
light.
F
F
A
lot
of
people
have
trouble
turning
from
17
on
Savage
Road
due
to
the
radius,
so
we're
trying
to
help
that
turning
movement
there
we're
working
with
Dominion
right
now
to
finalize
some
easement
language.
They
they
have
to
relocate
a
transmission
and
they're
claim
and
prior
rights
as
you'll
know,
moving
a
transmission
is
not
cheap
and
we
can't
see
where
they
have
prior
rights.
So
we're
going
back
and
forth
with
them
to
determine
who's
going
to
have
to
cover
that
cost.
F
We
have
several
more
projects
that
I'll
try
to
briefly
go
through.
Unless
you'll
have
some
questions,
we
have
the
Beast
area
at
Sanders,
Road,
Traffic
Light.
The
masked
arm
is
expected
to
be
delivered
this
month,
the
actual
Foundation,
the
decorative
Foundation
won't
be
into
December,
but
we
are
going
to
go
ahead
and
install
the
Mast
arm
when
it
comes
in
later
this
month.
F
Next
up
we
have
the
Old
Town
Road
sidewalk
project.
This
kind
of
connects
to
that
that
previous
one,
the
Old
Town
District
improvements,
and
it
goes
all
the
way
to
the
park
entrance.
We
started
off
with
trying
to
do
a
multi-use
path.
However,
it
required
us
to
remove
all
the
crepe
myrtles
along
Old
Town,
so
we
had
a
community
meeting
to
see
how
the
community
would
feel
about
that.
They
did
not
support
that.
They
said
they
would
prefer
to
have
just
a
sidewalk,
a
five
foot
wide
sidewalk
and
to
have
sharos
on
Ingram
Road.
F
Okay,
next
up
we
have
stalker
and
Chadwick
at
Savannah
highway
intersection.
This
Project's
gone
through
several
iterations.
It
was
in
the
17
Corridor
Improvement
study
and
we
had
a.
It
was
a
little
bit
more
robust
for
bicyclists,
but
the
dot
would
not
allow
us
to
do
some
of
those
Concepts
presented
and
after
we
had
some
Community
input
with
some
elective
officials.
What
we
have
done
is
we've
decided
just
to
realign
the
existing
intersection
and
make
The
Pedestrian
crosses
more
robust
and
install
shiros.
F
F
F
Courtney
and
Calhoun
this
project
is
we're
going
to
widen
the
intersection
along
Calhoun
Street
from
the
connector
to
Gatson
street.
We
have
received
all
permits
and
we're
in
the
right-of-way
acquisition
process.
There's
about
11
properties.
We
need
right
away
from
and
we
expect
to
have
this
under
construction
by
Spring
of
next
year.
F
Next
we
have
the
Maybank
City
Golf,
Course
Crossing.
We
took
this
to
the
golf
commission,
I
believe
it's
last
month
it
might
have
been
the
previous
month.
We
have
to
kind
of
relocate
the
existing
driveway
to
have
the
adequate
spacing
from
The
Crossing.
So
we
are
going
to
install
a
hawk
signal
at
this
location,
and
this
will
be
the
first
Hawk
signal
in
Charleston
County,
and
just
for
those
of
you
that
don't
know,
a
hot
signal
is
basically
a
traffic
light
that
stops
cars
just
for
pedestrians.
F
Fleming
Road
sidewalk:
this
is
extend
the
right
turn
lane
on
Ashley.
Let's
see,
I
think
they
have
something
wrong
here:
I'm
sorry.
This
is
basically
a
sidewalk
from
from
the
standard
all
the
way
to
Maybank
Highway,
that's
what
we're
doing,
and
this
is
under
design.
Still
next
up,
we
have
the
Woodland
Shores
and
Maybank
Highway
complete
Street
project.
This
is
what
we
just
got
federal
funds
for
this
project.
Actually,
we
got
federal
funds.
F
Next
up
we
have
the
Folly
Road
Country
Club
at
McLeod
pedestrian
improvements.
This
is
a
sidewalk,
a
multi-use
path
right
there
in
the
McLeod
Plantation
we
are
in
the
process
of
permitting.
We
have
to
get
an
easement
from
the
parks
and
the
city,
so
we're
working
through
that
language.
The
parks
people
are
right
now
looking
at
it
and
we
will
need
a
maintenance
letter
from
the
city
for
the
sidewalk.
F
F
Sycamore
at
61
intersection
improvements.
Basically
anyone
that
knows
that
the
Bikeway
Crossing
is
very
dangerous.
We
looked
at
doing
a
hot
signal,
but
the
traffic
signals
were
too
close
to
do
a
hawk
signal,
so
we're
trying
to
make
people
go
down
the
sidewalk
to
the
Sycamore
to
the
single
lives
intersection
to
cross
safely,
so
we're
making
the
sidewalk
wider
and
we're
going
to
install
sharrows
on
battery
Avenue.
We
actually
just
bid
this
one
and
the
bids
were
extremely
high
higher
than
budget.
F
Next
up
we
have
the
Ashley
Avenue
at
Congress
Street
project,
and
this
is
basically
pedestrian
signals,
rfbs
in
fact,
and
bulb
outs
to
provide
more
traffic
calming
to
the
area
and
this
one
we
are
in
the
permitting
phase
as
well,
and
we
need
a
maintenance
letter
from
the
city
and
we've
been
waiting
for
about
three
months.
For
that,
once
we
get
that
maintenance
letter,
we
can
actually
get
the
permit
from
the
DOT.
F
Next,
we
have
Ashley
Avenue
at
hugee,
Street
and
again
this
is
a
pedestrian
Improvement
project
as
well.
We're
going
to
do
the
same
thing
here,
bulb
outs,
signals,
rfbs
and
additional
crosswalks
make
it
safer
for
pedestrians
and
to
kind
of
slow
down
the
traffic
foreign
and
that
one
is
still
in
design
phase.
F
Then
we
have
the
oceanic
Street
Improvement
project.
This
is
near
the
skate
park.
We
actually
just
bid
this
one
and
again
the
bibs
came
in
at
extremely
high,
so
we're
going
to
have
to
find
a
way
to
maybe
combine
this
with
another
sidewalk
project
in
hopes
of
getting
some
reasonable
prices.
Just
so
you
guys
know,
we've
been
bidding
projects
and
getting
zero
bids
to
one
bid,
and
sometimes
we'll
get
a
bit
that
ranges
from
one
million
dollars
to
three
million
dollars.
F
F
F
F
St
Phillips
and
coming
Street
mid
block
Crossings.
This
is
installing
a
signalized
mid-block
Crossing
on
St
Philip
and
coming
Street,
and
we
just
got
the
maintenance
letter
last
week.
So
we
now
that
we
got
that
we
issued
that
to
Dot
and
we
should
have
the
permit
in
October
and
then
be
ready
to
advertise
this
one.
F
F
Sea
Island
community
sidewalk.
This
is
like
a
habitat
for
Community
place
on
May
bank
and
it
goes
all
the
way
to
the
Maine
and
Maybank
intersection
and
that's
currently
under
construction
and
as
y'all,
because
I
don't
know
if
you
can
see
here.
But
if
you
look
at
pictures
out
there
there's
a
warrant
path
where
people
walk.
So
this
is
a
much
needed
project.
F
F
F
And
some
upcoming
payment
management
projects
in
the
city,
as
you
can
see
here,
they're
they're
kind
of
all
over
the
place
I
can
see
James
Island,
West
Ashley
several
other
roads
in
the
area
and
I'll
be
more
than
happy
to
send
this
presentation
to
you
all
in
case
you
have
any
specific
questions
and
then
this
is
a
procurement
too.
This
is
another
rejuvenator
project
and
these
are
all
City
roads
that
we
plan
to
treat
this
year
and
then
over
here
is
the
titanium
outside.
F
A
Yeah
I
was
just
gonna
say,
and
you
know
I
think
especially.
We
appreciate
you
doing
these
project
updates
because,
especially
for
the
citizens
being
able
to
see
that
you
know
I
think
sometimes
the
you
know,
government
projects
end
up
taking
longer
than
sometimes
we
initially
anticipate,
but
that
there's
various
points
of
the
life
cycle
that
all
these
projects
are
going
through.
G
F
So
we
got
three
bids
and
they
ranged
anywhere
I
want
to
say,
I
can't
remember
exactly,
but
because
it
was
Friday
when
I
opened
them,
but
I
believe
it
was
from
4.3
to
5.1
if
I
remember
correctly,
and
it
was
within
budget.
In
fact,
I
have
crunched
the
numbers
to
even
make
sure
we're
gonna
we're
gonna
maintain
we're
gonna.
Do
the
inspection
in-house.
We
have
a
whole
cni
group
and
they're
really
excited
about
this
project.
G
F
Okay,
so
the
way
we
phased
it
was,
we
were
look.
We
we
consider
safety,
our
number
one
factor
and
and
the
number
one
concern
for
this
project
and
it
actually
was
a
a
intersection
project
due
to
the
number
of
accidents.
So
we
prioritized
the
Orange
Grove
intersection
just
from
a
safety
standpoint
and
trying
to
make
it
safer,
because
there
are
a
lot
of
assets
there.
So
we
kind
of
gave
our
consultant
that
direction.
F
I
guess
it
would
be
up
for
you
know
we
could
talk
about
if
it's
feasible
to
do
the
other
piece,
but
but
I
do
want
to
make
you
all
aware
that,
yes,
there
are
a
number
of
accidents,
so
we
did.
You
know
like
that,
was
the
number
one
priority
and,
as
I
said,
what
we
wrote
in
the
allocation
this
year
when
we
took
at
the
council
was
that
we
would
be
borrowing.
F

It's
not
going
to
be
signalized
and
we're
essentially
building
a
multi-use
path,
all
the
way
from
the
Woodland
Shores
to
the
senior
center,
and
then
our
Camp
Road
Project
picks
up
at
the
senior
center
and
goes
all
the
way
to
Camp,
Road
and
then
Camp
Road
goes
all
the
way
to
Folly
Road,
and
then
we
have
our
Folly
Road
Bike
pad.
So
throughout
all
these
projects
that
are
in
design
or
construction,
we're
going
to
connect
5.8
miles
of
sidewalk.
That's.
F
C
It
specific
to
Central
Park
Road,
especially
when
you
get
to
the
Western
end
of
it.
Are
you
incorporating
some
drainage
improvements
along
with
that,
too
I
mean
that
whole
area
is
crazy,
surface
flooding
and
where
you're
going
to
put
that
right
turn
lane
in
the
bike,
pedestrian
infrastructure
seems
like
to
me
it's
going
to
need
some
drainage
improvements.
There,
too
right
right.
F

Thank
you
thanks,
sir
chairman.
Yes,
thank
you
for
that
presentation
and
I
would
love
if
you
could
send
that
my
way,
I
think
I
have
most
of
it
from
James,
Island,
intergovernmental,
but
one
quick
question:
the
the
52
Parcels
that
you're
looking
at
purchasing
the
right-of-ways
on
Folly
Road
I
may
get
this
information
at
rethink
Folly
in
two
weeks.
But
do
you
know
how
many
of
those
52
are
City
owned?.
F
B
B
F
Have
it
in
our
budget,
so
we
have
already
hired
a
right-of-way
agent
that
does
all
he
essentially
does
all
the
right-of-way
acquisition
and
he's
already
working
and
he's
already
secured
some
and
every
month
when
he
sends
me
his
invoice.
He
sends
us
a
list
of
which
ones
have
been
secured
and
which
ones
have
not,
and
we
have
a.
We
have
a
monthly
meeting
with
them
as
well
to
see
you
know,
make
sure
that
they
are
making
progress,
that
they
are
making
regular
contacts.
A
H
H
Right,
hopefully,
y'all
can
see
my
diagram
there
good
afternoon,
mayor
council
staff.
I
really
appreciate
the
opportunity
coming
forward
today
to
talk
to
you
about
Harbor
View
in
a
quick
short
few
minutes.
I
did
want
to
introduce
Lee
Hargrove
who's
on
the
line
with
me
he's
our
deputy
director
of
security,
Ops
he's
the
eyes
on
the
ground
for
the
City
of
Charleston
schools
and
has
really
been
keeping
a
close
eye
on
traffic
out
there
at
Harborview.
I
want
to
thank
each
of
you
for
the
work
that
you've
done
with
us.
H
It's
it's
been
a
great
partnership
and
I
think
this
project
here
was
indeed
another
one
in
which
we
worked
together
to
make
some
improvements.
So
what
I'm,
showing
you
here
is
the
Harbor
View
at
the
bottom
of
the
screen,
is
Harborview
Road
and
then
I
don't
know.
If
I
can
slide
to
the
right
slide
to
the
slide
it
up
to
the
right
is
Frampton.
H
That's
the
expanded
parking
area
that
we
completed
this
summer,
454
000
project
with
underground
retention,
storm
water
retention,
so
that
we're
not
dumping
any
more
water
into
the
the
community
that
has
expanded
our
ability
to
bring
cars
onto
this
campus
by
63
percent,
which
is
is
hugely
successful.
That's
well
within
the
design
standards
of
South
Carolina
Dot's
guidelines
based
on
the
capacity
of
this
school,
which
is
682
students,
and
we
are
below
that
right
now,
we're
at
6
45
at
Harborview.
H
We've
taken
a
look
at
what's
going
on
out
there
on
a
daily
basis,
Mr
Hargrove,
Mr
Hargrove
has
been
out
there
a
number
of
times
and
we've
really
reduced
the
amount
of
traffic
back
on
Frampton
and
Harborview.
Looking
at
his
data
here,
we've
decreased
the
vehicle
back
up
in
the
afternoon
from
34
minutes
to
two
minutes
in
the
morning.
It's
about
11
minutes,
but
the
big
thing
is
that,
when
the
doors
open
kids
are
allowed
in,
traffic
is
moving
to
some
extent.
H
A
H
That's
the
amount
of
time.
That's
the
the
amount
of
time
somebody
is
backed
up
onto
Harbor,
View,
okay.
So
so
again,
we've
we've
decreased
that
from
34
minutes
to
two
we've
got
11
minutes
in
the
morning
arrival
time
again,
we've
got
traffic
moving
pretty
much
at
all
times,
though,
and
Lee
anything.
To
add
to
that.
I
No
I
mean
the
the
impetus
of
all.
This
is
a
a
driveway
to
a
private
residence
right
at
the
beginning
of
Frampton
there
and
we've
taken
great
strides
to
try
to
keep
that
driveway
open
in
addition
to
the
the
stacking
of
the
vehicles,
but
we've
also
talked
to
the
parents
of
the
school
about
not
blocking
that
driveway
and
keeping
things
moving.
This
stack
is
actually
a
design
that
came
from
scdot.
I
They
recommended
that
we
do
this
to
to
get
more
cars
off
the
roadway,
because
they've
been
involved
with
this
as
well-
and
you
know
I
feel
just
just
we've
done
everything
we
can
to
get
to
make
an
improvement
to
this
intersection
and
those
times.
You
know
that
I've
actually
seen
those
numbers
even
smaller
and
even
less
out
there
A
lot
of
times.
Our
car
ride
of
traffic
is
dependent
upon
things
like
the
weather
and
other
factors,
so,
but
it
has
greatly
improved
from
what
it
was
in
previous
years.
C
H
C
H
G
Mr
Mayor
Mr
chairman
I,
just
wanted
to
thank
Jeff
and
ccsp
staff
for
working
with
us
to
to
make
this
situation
better.
I
I
think
it's
a
a
vast
improvement
over
what
was
there
before
and
y'all
were
very
thoughtful
to
be
able
to
add
that
entire
length
of
double
stacking
in
order
to
get
those
cars
off
the
road.
So
thank
you
very
much.
We
appreciate
it.
