Beaufort County Hosts Community Meeting for Salem Road Sidewalk Project

Beaufort County To Host Community Meeting for Sidewalk Project

Beaufort County is buzzing with anticipation as the S-234 & S-457 (Salem Road) Sidewalk Project gears up for an important public meeting scheduled for Tuesday, October 29. This is part of a broader initiative, marking it as one of the 14 priority locations designated in the 2018 One Cent Sales Tax Referendum.

Where and When

The meeting will take place in the County Council Chambers at the Administration Building located at 100 Ribaut Road. Residents are encouraged to drop in at any point during the meeting hours to learn more and share their thoughts.

What’s on the Agenda?

County staff will be unveiling the proposed design for a sleek 8-foot-wide sidewalk that will stretch along Salem Road from SC 170 (Robert Smalls Parkway) to Old Salem Road. This project is aimed at enhancing the safety of pedestrians and cyclists by creating a dedicated space separate from the traffic, ensuring a more secure experience for those getting around on foot or on two wheels.

What to Expect

Unlike traditional town hall meetings with formal presentations, this gathering is set to be quite informal and welcoming. Attendees can look forward to seeing displays that detail the proposed designs. There will also be representatives from Beaufort County Engineering, J. Bragg Consulting, and Infrastructure Consulting & Engineering ready to chat. Their goal is to discuss the proposed improvements, answer any burning questions, and eagerly listen to feedback from community members, making it a great opportunity for locals to voice their thoughts on this project.

How to Participate

Can’t make it to the meeting? No worries! The proposed design exhibits and detailed project information will be available on a virtual meeting webpage for those who wish to catch up from home. Community members can visit www.beaufortcountypenny.com/meetings to access the information and submit comments until November 14. It’s an open door for everyone who wants to contribute to making Beaufort County a better place.
