The Berkeley-Charleston-Dorchester Council of Governments (BCDCOG) today announced that the Lowcountry Rapid Transit (LCRT) project has reached a major milestone in advancing the design of the future 21.3-mile bus rapid transit system. Members of the public are invited to join the project team at their Community Open House or view the Virtual On-Demand Meeting to receive an update on the project’s progress, learn more about the system, and provide input into its development.
Community Open House details:
- Tuesday, December 3, 2024, at the Keith Summey Public Library (3503 Rivers Avenue, North Charleston), 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. or 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.
- The public is encouraged to drop in anytime during either open house timeframe
- A light meal will be provided for attendees
- Members of the public can also view the Virtual On-Demand Meeting, available now through December 16 by visiting lowcountryrapidtransit.com.
Operating mostly in dedicated lanes from Ladson, serving North Charleston along Rivers Avenue and connecting to the Medical District in Downtown Charleston, LCRT aims to offer a safe, reliable, low-cost, and new mobility alternative to tens of thousands of residents and visitors.
BCDCOG has followed a federal funding process that includes project planning, programming, development, engineering, and construction. The project team has entered the final design as part of the engineering phase. It will share updates on station locations and architecture, system-wide branding, bike and pedestrian accommodations, and intersection and roadway plans.
