WE, THE UNDERSIGNED, HEREBY PETITION the Charleston City Council Public Works Committee to require the developer of The Settlement at Ashley Hall community to replace the intersection of Captiva Row and Ashley Hall Plantation Road to its original design.
WE STATE OR BELIEVE:
- That the petitioners are residents of Charleston, SC
- The work was done without proper approvals and permits
- The modified design is substantially more dangerous for vehicles and pedestrians than before
- The modified design impedes proper traffic flow and decreases safety
- Simply adding more reflective tapes, larger stop signs will NOT remedy the safety and traffic flow issues created
- The original design still allows for an attractive entrance for the new development

Very Dangerous, especially for larger cars and trucks with boats, not enough room for 2 cars turning
Very disappointed in the changes to the proposed plan. I have driven myself to work and my children to school via this route for years - and I now have safety concerns where I did not before.
There should be a fine for modifying public streets without authority. The developer or those responsible should lose its license and pay fines. I wonder if they even had permission to tie their drainage into the street outside of the brick wall where they cut the wall and laid down a pipe...Outrageous.
I have said since construction this was unsafe. More than 10ft of the roadway was removed from the Captiva road side and anything larger than a Prius struggles to make the left hand turn safely. I have been on Ashley Hall Plantation road a few mornings and had to either back up or stop short to allow the school bus to have enough room to make the turn.
This development should have never been approved. It significantly deteriorates the safety and quality of life for existing residences. The flooding has gotten much worse, wildlife has no where to live, traffic will increase and kids will not be safe.
Looks terrible
I agree with this petition.

This intersection is now dangerous. I agree with the comments above. It doesn't allow the radius needed to make the turn for more than one car at at time and definitely not for school buses and larger vehicles.
