  • 600 Broad River Road And 4146 River Drive Columbia/Richland, South Carolina 29210 - Columbia
    Look up all these issues I've reported about for 4 years: Broad River Road Bridge, Columbia Canal, Three Rivers Greenway shut down and cut off, affective roads way up to Greystone Blvd., accident with death when car was pushed over the bridge crashing into the rocks ending with a dead driver, closed fairly new handicapped entrance on the bridge into the park, heavy rain that almost sent the crane on a rubber barge into the bridge which could have taken out all bridges downtown, traffic causing potholes and roads ruined to subdivisions on both sides of the road (Huffman Heights and Skyland Estates with many condos and nice apartment homes) still not finished after 4 years. I want the report to go to WIS-TV, the STATE NEWSPAPER, CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT #2 PERSON IN CHARGE, CITY COUNCIL, THREE RIVERS GREENWAY, AND the NEW MAYOR BENJAMIN. How long does it take to build a bridge without spans? No bridge downtown would be acceptable to travelers if this was theirs! Drivers and workers coming from and going to the hospitals utilize this bridge and roads 2 times a day! And we have ambulances and fire trucks who highly travel this bridge. Millions was spent on the fish channel that rangers gave tours in the spring and summer explaining the importance of our Diversion Dam and fish channel. What are you going to do about destruction to the Three Rivers Greenway trails at the Columbia Canal and Broad River paths here? The traffic way up to Greystone Blvd. is DANGEROUS; we've a red light where Greystone Blvd. meets Broad River Road at the BP Station with drivers from both sides of the road with blind spots trying to get onto Greystone or Broad River at that light with 3 lanes there!
  • Broad River Bridge On River Drive Columbia, SC - Columbia
    This project has not only taken too long, taken out a beautiful handicapped ramp with gate, but also closed our area of the Riverfront Park of the Three Rivers Greenway at the most beautiful end of Columbia Canal and Riverfront Park at the Diversion Dam. We have no access from 2 sides of this popular place where many types of birds come to eat 2 times a day, have missed out on the spring and summer tours of the fish tracking system in SC from here down to the Mississippi and the ocean and back. Joggers, bikers, USC running team, walkers alone or with families, and those who live in housing subdivisions, condos, and nice apartment complexes no longer have egress to our park nor to the rest of the Riverfront Park downtown to enjoy. It's like we NEVER had a park! It should NEVER take this long to build a bridge but fast to destroy what we had and the handicapped people who could go to the park from thew bridge. I wonder how much it cost to place that access there and if it will ever be returned for the handicapped. The way it looks now, it may NEVER be back! Traffic is horrible and hard to get onto Broad River from there nor go from Bentley Drive across to River Drive to Skyland Estates. It has needed a working red light for years not a caution light. We just had a death there several weeks ago from an accident as 2 - 3 cars were involved with one going over into the river. When is this park, handicapped ramp, and bridge no longer going to be MIA (MISSING IN ACTION)!? This is a total travesty, waste of time, taken away from property values, and should have never been redesigned this way. WE almost lost the one side of the bridge last spring from a rain storm with the barge holding a crane leaning towards falling into the almost one side of the completed other end of this bridge!
