Town contractors are out today repairing sidewalks on Fort Johnson Road today. Technically, the South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) is responsible for keeping the sidewalks on SCDOT roads in repair. That includes Fort Johnson Road. However, SCDOT puts maintenance of sidewalks low on its list of priorities. In fact, when the Town has constructed new sidewalks on SCDOT roads, we have been required to sign an agreement promising to maintain them. Plainly, SCDOT has neglected its sidewalks on Fort Johnson Road for decades and the Town has requested repairs for several years now. We finally bit the bullet and are using Town funds to make some needed repairs.
