Harbor View widening public meeting Tuesday
Monday, August 1, 2011
Charleston County will hold a public meeting Tuesday about the other
controversial road project on James Island.
The county will hold a meeting about its proposed Harbor View Road widening
project at 5 p.m. Tuesday at the James Island Town Hall, 1238 Camp Road.
While the Harbor View project hasn't blossomed to the large-scale
controversy of the Mark Clark Expressway, planned for the other side of the
island, the project has drawn an increasingly vocal set of critics. Many
say they're concerned about the possible loss of significant trees along
Harbor View, which serves several island neighborhoods.
Those attending the meeting may ask questions of county staff. On Thursday,
the staff will meet with the S.C. Department of Transportation on the
Harbor View project, which is expected to include bike and pedestrian paths.
County Councilman Joe Qualey said he doesn't want residents to think they
were left out of the planning process.
