Halt the Ashley River Rd. RSA Project
Halt the Ashley River Rd. RSA Project
The Issue
My community and I are deeply impacted by the proposed Ashley River Rd. RSA (Road Safety Audit) Project. https://info2.scdot.org/projects/ViewerFiles/2025-02_10_AshleyRiver_RSA_PIM.pdf
We are local business owners and residents along this bustling road. We own a business on Ashley River Rd., which serves as a beacon of livelihood for us, and it is in danger of losing accessibility to our valuable customers if this project goes ahead. Unless customers are on the same side of the street, turning into our driveway will become impossible, driving away the lifeblood of our business.
Moreover, this isn't just about our business; it's about the broader community and its safety. The project will significantly increase congestion, bringing with it a host of risks. One of the most concerning is how it could severely jeopardize the operations of our emergency services. Imagine a critical gridlock situation where emergency vehicles have no way of getting through. What would we do then?
Every road project must take into account its broader social and communal implications beyond just traffic count and road width. Decisions should prioritize safety, accessibility, and the livelihoods of those who inhabit the area.
Thus, we strongly urge the authorities to reconsider the Ashley River Rd. RSA Project, thinking carefully about its consequences and exploring alternative solutions. Sign our petition to support us in preventing a change that could harm our community and safety.
