Charleston City Council announced that crosswalk construction will begin at Pier View Street and Seven Farms Drive, connecting Pier View Street to Bucksley Lane. Separately, the Daniel Island Property Owners' Association has started two trail repaving and repair projects.
Why it matters
The crosswalk work adds flashing beacons and curb extensions to improve pedestrian crossings near local businesses. Trail and intersection projects will change traffic patterns and trail access on Daniel Island for several weeks.
The crosswalk project is expected to take three to four weeks, with trail repaving work running 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through Saturday. Each asphalt section is closed for only one to two days, but the total project cost was not disclosed.
