1. Another fight is brewing …

    “The S.C. Department of Transportation just can’t seem to get it right with regards to the James Island connector.

    Years ago, it blundered by not designing and building the bridge so that it would accommodate pedestrians and bicyclists.

    Now it is banning bicyclists and pedestrians from the bridge instead of looking for ways to make it safe for them. Banning them leaves bicyclists to take an alternate route that appears even more unsafe.

    State law is on the department’s side. Officials say people who have been bicycling on the connector for years have been doing so illegally.”
