Voters Could See I-526 Referendum on Ballots

Charleston County Council will decide next week whether to hold a referendum on completing the interstate highway

 

Come November voters may get a chance to weigh in on whether and how to complete I-526, according to News 2.

Charleston County Council will consider whether to add a non-binding referendum on the subject to the general election ballots. Sample wording could ask county residents whether to finish the interstate highway without considering the SC Department of Transportation's preferred alternative.

That alternative would be a lower-speed divided lane parkway rather than the a high speed Interstate highway.

  • Should I-526 be completed?

    (Voting has been closed for this question)
    • Yes, it's been in the works for years and it's about time to finally finish the thing
        0 (0%)
    • Something needs to be done, but a high-speed interstate highway is the wrong thing, the SCDOT preferred alternative of a lower-speed divided parkway would be best
        0 (0%)
    • No, the cost of completing the road is too great both financially and in terms of destroying the rural character of John's Island, along with the nearly 800 homes in the road's path.
        1 (100%)
