volume of traffic, when and what we can do for the burden
of peak hours,” she pointed out. “There’s lots you can do, like
syncing traffic lights. And in some cases, roundabouts are
more effective than traffic lights. You also have to understand
when large employers such as East Cooper Hospital are
letting in and letting out.”
Though it would more than double the price of the
Highway 41 project, Page said a flyover at Highways 41
and 17 should be considered, and Gawrych agreed that the
Council should take a serious look at that scenario as well.
“My mind is open to all options,” he said. “But I want to
make sure our citizens have a say. We started that process last
week,” he said, referring to a public meeting held March 23
at the Park West gymnasium.
Page, Gawrych, DeMoura, Summey and Grooms all
agreed that the town, county, state and federal government
should work together to take care of the necessary
improvements on State Highway 41.
“It’s not a solo act. It’s more like an orchestra,” Page
concluded.
