Exciting Changes Announced for Irmo's Parks and Transportation Policies

Exciting Changes Coming to Irmo’s Park and Transportation Policies!

Hey Irmo! If you have been enjoying your walks to the community garden, taking your furry friends to the dog park, or showing off your skateboarding skills at the Irmo Skate Park, we’ve got some important news for you. Town officials have just announced that the sidewalk leading to these popular spots at Rawls Creek Park will be closing to vehicular traffic. Don’t worry! This is a positive change aimed at making the area safer and more enjoyable for everyone who loves to spend time outdoors.

What Does This Mean for You?

From now on, you can expect to enjoy a more peaceful walk or skate session without the hassle of cars zooming by. This closure is a big step to ensure that families, pets, and skate enthusiasts can enjoy all the park has to offer without having to worry as much about traffic. Imagine a lovely day where you can stroll with your loved ones or practice tricks without interruptions. Sounds fantastic, right?

Transportation Feedback Opportunity

Public Involvement Policy aims to set out fresh guidelines for how the public can participate in the development of transportation projects. Isn’t it great when everyone has a say?

So, how can you get involved? SCDOT is accepting public comments through November 15. You can share your thoughts, concerns, or suggestions right from the comfort of your home. Just head over to the comment notice website that SCDOT has put together for this purpose. Want to dive deeper into what the draft policy entails? It’s all available online for you to review!

How to Make Your Voice Heard

Ginny Jones, the Public Involvement Director over at the SCDOT Public Engagement Office. You can mail your thoughts to their office at 955 Park Street, P.O.
