Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Charleston public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Stop intersection at Bridge and Walnut Roads
Bill No. 8094 would make Bridge Road and Walnut Road a stop intersection, with the Bridge Road southerly approach holding the right-of-way — a change aimed at traffic safety.
Handicapped parking on Quarrier Street
Bill No. 8093 would create handicapped parking zones on the south side of Quarrier Street east of Ruffner Avenue.
Street and alley closure notice requirements
Bill No. 8099 would require more notice before anyone permanently closes or abandons a public street, alley or right-of-way — giving residents a bigger heads-up when public space is at stake.
Quarrier Street handicapped parking zone
Three parking changes were floated: new metered parking in the 700 block of Bigley Avenue and short-term meters on Capitol Street and Quarrier Street. No action is recorded from this meeting.
