Coligny Circle's proposed pedestrian-friendly upgrades were given the endorsement from Head Town Council in a unanimous vote on Tuesday. The Town will now enter into negotiations with the South Carolina DOT to take over ownership of portions of Pope Avenue as both North and South Forest Beach Drive feed into Coligny Circle. Ownership of these three arteries would then allow the Town to narrow lanes, reduce speeds, build curb extensions (thus slowing drivers), widen crosswalks and add special pavement, which would create an audible and visible aspect to drivers and pedestrians making them aware of crossings.
These road/footpath improvements are both aesthetically and safety-motivated. Speed reduction in that area is much needed; thus, converting it into a walking district, adding lighting, installing benches and planters, and general enhancements will draw more of our visitors to this island hub. Homeowners in North Forest Beach and South Forest Beach will reap the benefits of this Town revitalization program, as will the business owners and beachgoers.
