H.3656, Complete Streets legislation, passed subcommittee! In a major victory, not easily won, and definitely not over, a coalition advanced House bill H.3656, the Complete Streets bill, led by Representative Pendarvis of Charleston, successfully through House E&PW Transportation subcommittee. It received unanimous support with an amendment.

Tuesday, April 2, is when the full Committee meeting is scheduled for in Room 433, ~2pm, Solomon Blatt Building, 1105 Pendleton St, Columbia. This bill is written to compel SCDOT commit to a state policy for safer streets. See this Action Alert to contact your Legislator directly in support.

  1. Did the April 2nd meeting happen? I don’t see a link in the SC video archive for the Education and public works committee for that day and time.

    • H.3656 was on the committee agenda, but it was voted to be carried over, which delayed it until 2020.
