Council to Take up Coleman Plan

A Wednesday meeting is the final chance for the public to give in-person comments on a massive overhaul of Coleman Boulevard.

The $7.5-million revamp calls for bike lanes, on-street parking, a center parkway and a huge roundabout at Coleman, Chuck Dawley and Ben Sawyer boulevards.

The plan would also do away with a turn lane that stretches the entire street. That means fewer left-hand turns, which has been a concern for some businesses.

Wednesday's called meeting will include a formal presentation about the project and allow the public to comment. The council will also share comments on the plan.

It's not clear if a vote will be taken, since already the council has presented the plans to the South Carolina Department of Transportation for approval. The plans can change while its still under state review, however.
