Dear Mount Pleasant residents and business owners,
Our work here at the Town continues with several major capital projects including improvements to Coleman Boulevard, new Town Hall Phase 2, Park West Blvd. Widening and more. Additionally, the Comprehensive Plan Forum is continuing their work on developing the Town's next 10-year Comprehensive Plan. The recent open house meeting to collect public input for this plan was well attended, but if you couldn't make the meeting, you still have the opportunity to share your input via public survey. Keep reading below to access the survey.
There are several other upcoming meetings and events scheduled for the next month, so I invite you to sign up to our Notify Me module and stay updated on the latest Town news, projects, and events.

Street Sign Replacement Program
|
To meet Federal Highway Administration requirements, the Mount Pleasant Transportation and Public Services departments have partnered in a joint street sign replacement program slated to begin in April. The capital improvement project will replace about 7,500 signs over the next five years, or roughly 1,500 signs per year. The Street Sign Replacement Program will include all street signs within the Town, with the exclusion of private roads and sideways. Existing signs will be removed if they are considered redundant or do not meet standards. Additional signs may be added where deemed applicable.

Part of the Memorial Waterfront Park complex, the 1250-foot long Mount Pleasant Pier stretches out into Charleston Harbor under the foot of the Arthur Ravenel, Jr. Bridge. The pier's foundation was created from pared-down pilings from the old Silas N. Pearman Bridge.
Visitors can enjoy beautiful views of the bridge and harbor from the pier's bench swings and shade structures.
