City Council Update and Election Info

AIKEN JOURNAL


SILVER BLUFF WIDENING-a small group consisting of officials from the County and City plus representatives from Gem Lakes and Woodside met on August 11 to review the SCDOT plan for improvements to Silver Bluff. As expected the plan was consistent with the revisions requested by residents and the City of Aiken last year and the revised roadway will be within the current 66 ft, wide right of way with very few exceptions. On Tuesday the group suggested some alterations and the addition of a signal light at the Town Creek intersection which will now be incorporated in the plan. The DOT will hold a public hearing concerning the plan. The hearing is tentatively set for September 17, 2009. We will keep you informed.
