Roadway Flooding Rekindles Transportation Debate

Recent flooding at the intersection of Main Road and Highway 17–and the resulting gridlock on two-lane Maybank Highway–gave Seabrookers a taste of what it’s like to have only one functioning way on and off Johns Island. It also served to rekindle debate over future transportation improvements.

Upcoming meetings of the Charleston County Council and its committees are likely to provide forums for lively discussion now that the issue has been brought front-and-center again, causing county officials and lobbying groups to once more advance their positions on controversial projects and alternative designs.

For those interested in attending, here are the dates for the upcoming meetings:

Charleston County Council Committee Meeting
Thursday, September 10th
5:00pm
Lonnie Hamilton, III Public Services Building
2nd Floor, 4045 Bridge View Drive
North Charleston, South Carolina 29405

Charleston County Council Meeting
Tuesday, September 15th
6:30pm
