JOHNS ISLAND, S.C. (WCSC) -A grassroots group of Johns Islanders are working on a plan to make roads safer on the island.
The group called Rational Roads for Johns Island was created as a response to proposals created by Charleston County that could widen Bohicket Road from Maybank Highway to Betsy Kerrison Parkway.
The area is considered “Segment C” of the county’s Main Road Corridor project, which aims to reduce traffic congestion and increase capacity on Bohicket Road. Officials say it would also provide opportunities for pedestrians and bicyclists to safely travel throughout the project area.
