Beaufort County Invites Residents to Informal Meeting About Upcoming Sidewalk Project

Beaufort County Holds Informal Meeting for Sidewalk Project

Hey there, Beaufort! Are you ready to learn about some exciting improvements coming to our beloved town? Mark your calendars because on Tuesday, October 29, the county is hosting a public meeting that you won’t want to miss. This meeting will focus on the S-234 & S-457 (Salem Road) Sidewalk Project, which is part of the 14 priority projects approved back in the 2018 One Cent Sales Tax Referendum. It’s a great opportunity for residents to see what’s in store for our community and to provide their feedback.

Where to Be and What to Expect

So, where will all the action take place? Head over to the County Council Chambers inside the Administration Building at 100 Ribaut Road. It’s a central spot, making it easy for everyone to attend. The meeting is set to be an informal, drop-in style gathering. You won’t need to sit through a formal presentation; instead, you can come, go, ask questions, and talk to the friendly faces representing the county.

What’s on the Agenda?

At the meeting, Beaufort County staff will showcase the proposed design for an 8-foot sidewalk that will stretch from SC 170 (Robert Smalls Parkway) to Old Salem Road. This isn’t just any sidewalk; it’s a crucial safety upgrade aimed at making our roads more accessible. By creating a separate space for pedestrians and bicyclists, the project is sure to enhance pedestrian and bicyclist safety. Imagine strolling or biking along a dedicated pathway, away from the hustle and bustle of car traffic!

Meet the Experts

Representatives from Beaufort County Engineering, J. Bragg Consulting, and Infrastructure Consulting & Engineering will all be present to answer your questions and gather your thoughts. They want to hear from you—your insights and suggestions are invaluable for making sure the final design meets the community’s needs. Whether you have concerns about the design or just want to express your excitement, this is the perfect chance to get involved.

How to Get More Involved

Not able to make it to the meeting? No problem! You can still check out all the proposed design exhibits and additional project information online. The county has set up a virtual meeting webpage where you can view all the information at your own pace. Plus, there’s a chance to submit comments until November 14. It’s a straightforward way to make your voice heard even if you can’t attend in person.
