City of Charleston to use input from community meetings in future planning

The City of Charleston concluded its series of community meetings where people were invited to ask questions, share ideas and troubleshoot challenges with city representatives. Nearly 120 community members attended the Here to Serve community meetings and nearly 30 comment forms were submitted. The City said on its website that the issues that rose to the top included enforcing property maintenance codes, continuing beautification efforts, eliminating blight, and creating public art. Among the infrastructure improvements deemed most important by meeting participants were replacing old streetlights with brighter and more efficient LED lights; and providing comfortable and well-maintained sidewalks, bike trails, and routes for people of all ages and abilities. A draft of the Comprehensive Plan will be available on the Planning Department’s website this week.
