Need Your Ideas and Opinions

You say nobody asks for your opinion?

You wonder why nobody seems to plan for the future?

Well...here is your chance! We need your opinions and ideas.

We have scheduled two meetings to get important community input in the development of the Burgess Community Bike/Pedestrian Plan. The need for improved pedestrian and cycling infrastructure was identified during the development of the Burgess Community Area Plan. We are working with the Horry County Planning Department and the Edgar Dyer Institute for Leadership and Public Policy at Coastal Carolina University. Students have already taken inventory of existing connectivity and gaps in the system.

The first meeting is set for March 26 at 7:00 pm at the South Strand Recreation Center. This meeting will provide an explanation of the process as well as visual examples of different types of facilities along with a discussion of important considerations such as safety, cost, maintenance and user needs. There will be maps on which you can actually draw.  You will take a topical survey to help gauge the degree of community support, areas most in need of facilities, potential use, etc. A visual survey will help determine the type of  infrastructure residents would like to see. 

At our next Quarterly Meeting on April 30 we will see and discuss the results of the surveys and provide direction.  This meeting will also be at 7:00 pm at the South Strand Recreation Center.

We will not be able to understand your opinions and ideas unless you participate.
