Meeting Street Upgrade Begins | Columbia News

West Columbia is transforming Meeting Street into a safer, more pedestrian-friendly hub—starting Monday, September 14—with one eastbound lane narrowed to make room for wider sidewalks, on-street parking, landscaped medians, and new trees. Dedicated turn lanes and improved crosswalks will calm traffic while keeping business driveways open. Construction began Sept. 7 in the Artisan Market Pavilion parking lot (reopening Sept. 25), targeting the busy corridor that sees 12,300 cars daily and links to the River District. Expect temporary traffic tweaks—but the payoff? A much better experience for walkers, drivers, and local shops alike.
