CHARLESTON MOVES IS A NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION WORKING TO MAKE THE PLACES WE LIVE AND WORK HEALTHIER AND HAPPIER BY TRANSFORMING OUR STREETS AND PATHWAYS INTO SAFE CORRIDORS FOR BICYCLES, PEDESTRIANS AND MASS TRANSIT. PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4A WHAT WE ARE DOING: BRIDGE THE ASHLEY CONNECTING WEST ASHLEY AND THE PENINSULA VIA A SAFE, MULTI-MODAL CROSSING HAS BEEN A PRIORITY OF CHARLESTON MOVES FOR AT LEAST A DECADE. THE CONNECTION IS ALSO PRIORITIZED IN THE WEST ASHLEY PLAN, PEOPLE PEDAL CHS, BATTERY2BEACH, AND THE EAST COAST GREENWAY. WE HAVE WORKED WITH THE COMMUNITY AND ELECTED OFFICIALS TO DILIGENTLY ADVOCATE FOR THIS CROSSING, AND FINALLY ACHIEVED FUNDING FOR A SEPARATE BIKE/PED BRIDGE IN LATE 2019. CHARLESTON MOVES COORDINATED MORE THAN 200 GRANT APPLICATION SUPPORT LETTERS AND THOUSANDS OF PETITION SIGNATURES AND LETTERS TO ELECTED OFFICIALS IN SUPPORT. THE FUNDING ALSO INCLUDES SPECIFIC INTERSECTION UPGRADES ALONG THE WEST ASHLEY GREENWAY AND ON THE PENINSULA TO ALLOW SAFE ACCESS TO AND FROM THE BRIDGE. THE CITY OF CHARLESTON HAS HIRED A PROJECT MANAGER TO LEAD DESIGN, PERMITTING AND CONSTRUCTION, AND WE ANTICIPATE THE BRIDGE WILL BE OPEN IN 2023. IN THE MEANTIME, CHARLESTON MOVES HAS WIDENED FOCUS TO ADDRESS OTHER ASHLEY RIVER CROSSINGS (NORTH BRIDGE, JAMES ISLAND CONNECTOR AND WAPPOO CUT), AS WELL AS IMPROVING THE INTERSECTION OF ST. ANDREWS BOULEVARD AND THE MARYVILLE BIKEWAY. IF THE BIKEWAY CONNECTION COULD BE MADE SAFE, A SERIOUS GAP WOULD BE ADDRESSED, ALLOWING PEOPLE ON BIKES AND FOOT TO GET FROM THE BIKEWAY TO THE GREENWAY AND ULTIMATELY, OVER THE NEW BRIDGE. CHARLESTON MOVES FOUGHT TO RETAIN FUNDING FOR IMPROVING THIS CROSSING, THOUGH THE DESIGN IS UNDER DEBATE. WE HAVE BEGUN NORTH BRIDGE DISCUSSIONS WITH AREA PLANNERS. FRIENDS OF MAYBANK OUR ORGANIZATION HAS ADVOCATED FOR MULTI-MODAL IMPROVEMENTS TO MAYBANK HIGHWAY ON JAMES ISLAND SINCE 2008. SINCE 2014, FOUR PEOPLE HAVE BEEN INJURED AND TWO PEOPLE HAVE BEEN KILLED WHILE WALKING OR BIKING ON MAYBANK HIGHWAY BETWEEN WOODLAND SHORES ROAD AND FLEMING ROAD. THIS IS A CORRIDOR THAT CONNECTS NEIGHBORHOODS, BUSINESSES AND GREENSPACE. THERE IS A DIRE NEED FOR SAFETY AND QUALITY-OF-LIFE IMPROVEMENTS ALONG JAMES ISLAND'S MAYBANK HIGHWAY CORRIDOR, NECESSITATING A COMPLETE STREET VISION TO MAKE THE STREET SAFER FOR ALL USERS. IN EARLY 2019, AFTER THE MOST RECENT PEDESTRIAN DEATH IN THE CORRIDOR, A COLLABORATIVE SESSION BETWEEN CHARLESTON COUNTY AND CHARLESTON MOVES WAS ORGANIZED TO GET CITIZEN FEEDBACK ON SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS FOR THIS CORRIDOR. FEEDBACK FROM CITIZENS WAS NOT DIFFERENT FROM THE PREVIOUS OVERLAY MEETINGS: MAKE THE CORRIDOR SAFER AND MORE CONNECTED FOR PEOPLE WALKING, BIKING AND WAITING FOR THE BUS. IN RESPONSE, TWO WALKING TOURS OF THE CORRIDOR WERE CONDUCTED, INCLUDING REPRESENTATIVES FROM ADJACENT NEIGHBORHOODS, SCDOT, THE CITY OF CHARLESTON'S POLICE, PLANNING, AND TRAFFIC & TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENTS, CHARLESTON COUNTY'S TRANSPORTATION DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT, CHARLESTON MOVES, AND SPECIFIC CITY AND COUNTY COUNCILMEMBERS. THE SECOND WALKING TOUR RESULTED IN A ROAD SAFETY REVIEW REPORT FROM SCDOT, IDENTIFYING SHORT- AND LONG-TERM SOLUTIONS TO MAKE THE CORRIDOR SAFE AND CONNECTED FOR ALL USERS, AND ALSO INCLUDED SUGGESTIONS FROM THE PUBLIC, WHAT WE WITNESSED ON SITE, AND BIKE AND PEDESTRIAN COUNTS AT KEY CROSSINGS PERFORMED BY CHARLESTON MOVES AND OUR VOLUNTEERS. CHARLESTON MOVES HAS A PETITION IN SUPPORT OF INSTALLING A SAFE PEDESTRIAN CROSSING NEAR THE POUR HOUSE, AS WELL AS WORKING WITH THE BCDCOG TO MAKE COMPLETE STREETS IMPROVEMENTS TO THE CORRIDOR FROM AT LEAST WOODLAND SHORES TO FOLLY ROAD. WE HAVE USED THAT PETITION TO ENDORSE SPECIFIC PROJECT APPLICATIONS. WE ALSO WORKED WITH A LOCAL BUSINESS OWNER TO COLLECT LETTERS OF SUPPORT FROM MOST OF THE BUSINESSES LOCATED IN THE STRETCH OF MAYBANK FROM WOODLAND SHORES TO STEFAN DRIVE. THE RESULTS OF OUR ADVOCACY IN 2019: THE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE (CTC) VOTED TO UTILIZE GAS TAX FUNDING FOR THE DESIGN, ENGINEERING AND INSTALLATION OF A MID-BLOCK PEDESTRIAN CROSSING WITH A REFUGE AND PEDESTRIAN-ACTIVATED FLASHERS; A COMPLETE STREETS APPLICATION FOR A 5-7' SIDEWALK ON WOODLAND SHORES AND A MULTI USE PATH ON MAYBANK FROM WOODLAND SHORES TO STEFAN IS FUNDED; OUR ASK WAS SUCCESSFUL TO UPDATE THE PROPOSED MAYBANK OVERLAY ZONING TO INCLUDE REQUIREMENTS FOR A WIDER 10' MINIMUM MULTI-USE PATH THAN PROPOSED FOR ANY NEW DEVELOPMENTS OR SUBSTANTIAL REDEVELOPMENTS ALONG THE CORRIDOR. MAIN ROAD SEGMENT A CHARLESTON COUNTY IS LEADING A PROJECT TO IMPROVE THE MAIN ROAD CORRIDOR AND ASSOCIATED INTERSECTIONS, FROM BEES FERRY ROAD IN WEST ASHLEY, TO MAYBANK HIGHWAY AND RIVER AND BOHICKET ROADS ON JOHNS ISLAND. THE PROJECT ALSO INCLUDES EXTENDING THE WEST ASHLEY GREENWAY TO BEES FERRY ROAD. CURRENTLY THE FOCUS IS ON SEGMENT A, FROM BEES FERRY ROAD IN WEST ASHLEY, CONTINUING ALONG MAIN ROAD ACROSS US17, AND ENDS AT THE INTERSECTION OF RIVER ROAD AT CHISOLM ROAD ON JOHNS ISLAND. MAJOR FOCAL POINTS OF THIS SEGMENT INCLUDE THE INTERSECTION OF MAIN/17 AND THE LIMEHOUSE BRIDGE OVER THE STONO RIVER. CHARLESTON MOVES HAS SUCCESSFULLY ADVOCATED FOR BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN IMPROVEMENTS THROUGHOUT THE DESIGN, INCLUDING A MULTI USE PATH (MINIMUM 12 FEET WIDE) TO BE ADDED TO THE LIMEHOUSE BRIDGE. WE COORDINATED A PETITION AND SUPPORTIVE PUBLIC COMMENTS, AND WROTE SUPPORT LETTERS FOR COUNTY GRANT FUNDING APPLICATIONS. CLOSE CALLS DATABASE CHARLESTON MOVES PILOTED A PROJECT TO DETERMINE IF TRACKING "CLOSE CALLS" BETWEEN MOTORISTS AND PEOPLE ON BIKE/FOOT RESULTS IN IDENTIFICATION OF PROBLEMATIC HOTSPOTS. WE HAVE PROVIDED THE FIRST ROUND OF CITIZEN SUBMITTALS TO THE CHARLESTON POLICE DEPARTMENT (CPD) FOR THEIR REVIEW AND ACTION. WE ALSO MET WITH THE CPD TO DISCUSS FINDINGS FROM THIS PILOT PROJECT, AND ARE EXCITED TO REPORT THAT THEY HAVE ALREADY CHOSEN A FEW LOCATIONS TO RAMP UP MOTORIST ENFORCEMENT. WE ARE EXTENDING THIS PROGRAM TO CONTINUE TRACKING "CLOSE CALLS- AND PROVIDE MORE DATA TO OTHER LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES AND PLANNERS THROUGHOUT THE AREA. PEOPLE PEDAL CHS (THE DOWNTOWN BIKE PLAN) A JOINT EFFORT BETWEEN CHARLESTON MOVES AND THE CITY OF CHARLESTON, THIS PLAN WAS UNANIMOUSLY INCORPORATED INTO THE CITYWIDE TRANSPORTATION PLAN. IN 2018, OUR COALITION ADVOCATED FOR IMPROVEMENTS TO BRIGADE STREET, PARTICULARLY WHERE IT INTERSECTS WITH MEETING STREET. SCDOT AND THE CITY DEVELOPED AND FUNDED A DESIGN. IN 2019, WE SAT DOWN WITH PARTNER GROUPS, INCLUDING NEIGHBORHOOD LEADERS AND REPRESENTATIVE COUNCILMEMBERS, TO DISCUSS THE STATUS OF THE PROJECT AND NEXT STEPS. THE PLANS WERE PRESENTED TO THE NEIGHBORHOODS AND ENDORSED WHOLEHEARTEDLY. IN ADDITION, LINE STREET WAS OFFICIALLY CONVERTED FOR TWO-WAY TRAFFIC, WITH SHARROWS AND RAISED CROSSWALKS ADDED TO IMPROVE THE SAFETY EVEN FURTHER. THROUGH OUR WORK ON THE CITY'S BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN ADVISORY COMMITTEE, MORE PROJECTS WERE DISCUSSED FOR COOPER STREET AND CONNECTING BEE STREET VIA RADCLIFFE BY BIKE INFRASTRUCTURE. LIGHT THE NIGHT TWICE A YEAR, CHARLESTON MOVES, WITH PARTNER GROUPS AND VOLUNTEERS, SETS UP IN NEIGHBORHOODS OR BUSINESS DISTRICTS FOR OUR LIGHT THE NIGHT EVENTS. WE DISTRIBUTE HUNDREDS OF FREE BIKE LIGHTS AND EDUCATIONAL SPOKE CARDS. THE CARDS OUTLINE THE RIGHTS OF PEOPLE ON BIKES AS THEY RIDE. OUR VOLUNTEERS ALSO SCOUT THE AREA AND STRAP LIGHTS TO BIKES THEY SEE THAT ARE LACKING. STATE LAW REQUIRES THAT BIKES HAVE LIGHTS AT NIGHT; BY REMOVING ECONOMIC BARRIERS, WE CAN WORK TO ENSURE OUR COMMUNITY IS SAFER WHEN RIDING. LEADERSHIP CHARLESTON MOVES PROVIDES STRONG LEADERSHIP AND RESOURCES FOR SEVERAL PROPOSED PROJECTS AND PLANS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY, ENSURING PEOPLE WHO RIDE BIKES, WALK AND TAKE PUBLIC TRANSIT ARE REPRESENTED THROUGHOUT THE PLANNING, DESIGNING AND FUNDING PROCESSES.
