When we shared design plans in Landrum this summer for the first five miles, many of you asked about the North Carolina section of the trail. Since North Carolina and South Carolina work under different regulations and funding sources, the two halves of the project will move at different paces.
PAL: Play. Advocate. Live Well., SCDOT, and the City of Landrum have been actively coordinating improvements to the intersection of West Rutherford Street and North Howard Avenue, Highway 176 and Highway 14, in Landrum.
Thank you for sharing your questions during the information session at the Landrum Farmers Market on August 18 where we shared the design plans for the first five-mile phase of the project in South Carolina.
Approximately 300 people attended the information session at the Landrum Farmers’ Market and heard from representatives of PAL, Conserving Carolina, and SeamonWhiteside, the SC trail design team, about potential trailhead locations, trail widths, and more.
Project leaders from PAL and Conserving Carolina are looking forward to hosting the Saluda Grade Trail’s public information session this week at the Landrum Farmers Market. This is your chance to see the first designs for the trail, talk with the people drawing them, and tell us what matters to you.
