Folly Road's Transformation: People Over Cars

Folly Road in South Carolina is undergoing a major transformation through the Rethink Folly Road initiative, aiming to add sidewalks, crosswalks, and bike lanes. The project, led by the Berkeley-Charleston-Dorchester Council of Governments, focuses on five key goals: safety, connectivity, sustainability, economic growth, and coordination. Local leaders are excited about the impact, including improved walkability, reduced car usage, and economic benefits for James Island businesses. Bids are out for sidewalks and the South Carolina Department of Transportation is working on a separate safety corridor. The initiative aims to turn Folly Road into a people-friendly corridor, with voters deciding on a half-cent transportation sales tax in November.
