All,
We have been continuing our work on the Master Transportation Plan over the past few months, and thank you all for your diligence in remaining a part of this planning process. At this time, we have developed a full set of preliminary multimodal recommendations, focusing on key priority areas. We would like to meet with you to present these recommendations and discuss the prioritization process for these projects.
We will be holding our final public workshop for this project tonight, October 27th, from 5:30 to 7:30 at the Dorchester County Council Chambers (500 N Main Street, Summerville). You are encouraged to attend, and we also encourage you to spread the word about this meeting to your friends. We hope to have a strong turnout for this workshop.
Please let me know if you have any questions. I look forward to seeing you tonight!
Thank you,
Allison

Summerville may be known as “Flowertown in the Pines,” but it’s no rose garden getting around town on a bicycle.
Mark Greenslit hopes to change that. A radiologist who regularly rides his bicycle from Summerville to work and back at Trident Medical Center in North Charleston, Greenslit is peddling a plan to have Summerville officially designated a bicycle-friendly town. (more…)

Ride your bike to work or for short errands.
Many car trips are less than 2 miles, and gas isn’t getting any cheaper. Go on a family bike ride on the Sawmill Branch Trail. (more…)
