If God Forbid there’s a Cat 5 hurricane and people die because they couldn’t evacuate, these people need to be held culpable.
Interesting how “the judge” does not have a name mentioned anywhere in the article.
Note to the car nuts: the answer to terminal congestion is NOT to build a new interstate highway to bring even move cars into an area that cannot handle what it already has.
The only way a new interstate would help beach traffic in Myrtle Beach would be for the interstate to run right along the coast, razing all the expensive housing developments and retail along the corridor. If the highway effectively sealed off the beach from access and made the coast unlivable, fewer people would go and traffic congestion would be much eased. Myrtle Beach could be like -- oh, the Philadelphia riverfront along the I-95 corridor. This should make car nuts happy. It doesn't seem like an attractive solution to me.
Land with ocean frontage is a limited, fixed asset. Myrtle Beach is already overdeveloped. It won't be improved by more cars. When it comes to transit options, too many people are still living in 1964, when we still had a border with Mexico and the U.S. population was "only" 180 million. Even then, we were building too many roads where we shouldn't have, and LBJ's great project to destroy America's cities by driving big highways through residential areas was just getting underway. People really need to look at the wreckage and take a clue.
Bike paths?
The small towns and maze like routing of state highways to get to MB from the West or NW is an interesting drive. Especially so when it’s dark.
This Interstate has been allegedly being built for over 20 years. I’ll be surprised if its ever built.
