Join Charleston Moves for a police-escorted bicycle ride over the Wappoo Cut Bridge and along key corridors and intersections we are advocating to upgrade. The route for the ride includes streets with forthcoming bike/ped improvements, including James Island's Maybank Highway, Folly Road, Camp Road, Riverland Drive and Woodland Shores Road. This is a unique opportunity to comfortably enjoy beautiful handlebar views of the Wappoo Creek between James Island and West Ashley, while supporting our work to advance a safe, equitable crossing and critical connections.
Please check in at the Charleston Moves table — behind Maybank Public House — no later than 10:30 am. The ride will begin promptly at 11 am. We kindly request that you fill out our waiver in advance; it is required to participate.
Following the ride, folks are encouraged to stop by Maybank Public House's outdoor beer garden. Brunch will be available for purchase, and Charleston Moves will offer opportunities for the public to take action in support of multi-modal access over the Wappoo Cut. This engagement, alongside stakeholder support, will bolster steps forward to develop a conceptual plan for the crossing.
Whether you want to participate in the ride or stop by afterwards, the community's participation helps demonstrate critical mass, showing our local leaders and decision-makers that this safety project needs to be prioritized. Come out to join neighbors and friends in taking a stand for an equitable Wappoo Cut crossing, one that is safe and accessible for all!
