I’ve had personal close encounters with cars while running from my neighborhood to Folly Beach. As a third-generation Charlestonian starting her family, we want a safer route for travel. Also, if we could ride our bikes, it would be a much healthier and environmentally friendly option for locals.

Currently, the stretch of road from the Harris Teeter on Folly Rd to Folly Beach is dangerous for pedestrians and cyclists due to heavy traffic and lack of continuous dedicated sidewalk. This area is frequented by families, fitness enthusiasts, and tourists who deserve safe access.

Implementing a safer walking and biking path will not only reduce accidents but also promote healthier lifestyles and decrease environmental impact by encouraging non-motorized transportation. Sign this petition to urge local authorities to prioritize the safety of our community by creating these essential pathways!
