Charleston Intersection Safety Plan | Charleston News
Description
Charleston County is finally moving forward on a long-delayed safety overhaul for the dangerous intersection of Central Park Road and Riverland Drive—where a $1.5 million plan now includes a clear crosswalk, pedestrian-activated flashing lights, a right-turn lane, and wider sidewalks. After years of stalled progress due to community pushback over tree removal, the revised design has earned state and environmental approval, pending final County Council approval this fall. With a public hearing this Thursday, residents are weighing safety against beloved trees—potentially sacrificing some greenery to prevent deadly crashes before the year ends.
