Staff reports | Charleston residents can submit online comments through May 3 to a proposal that calls for construction of a bicycle and pedestrian bridge over the Ashley River to connect the peninsula and West Ashley. The Ashley River Crossing project seeks to provide a safe connection and increased access to the peninsula for bicyclists and walkers who live in West Ashley, where nearly half of the city’s residents live.
Staff reports | The Charleston Parks Conservancy is launching a volunteer litter cleanup program in April to remove trash from the West Ashley Greenway and Bikeway.
“After conducting a community survey about the West Ashley Greenway and Bikeway, it was clear that litter is a big concern,” said Rachel Barry, volunteer manager for the Conservancy. “We are excited to give the community an opportunity to join us in cleaning up the trails and making them more enjoyable for everyone.”
The organization will give away 100 cleanup kits with bags, gloves, safety vests and trash pickers for volunteers to use in its Cleanup in the Parks effort to remove trash from any local park or public greenspace, according to a press release
