We are grateful to live and serve in such an incredible community.

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. The capital improvement project will replace about 7,500 signs over the next five years. 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.

Coleman Traffic Pattern Change
|
|
The Town of Mount Pleasant shifted the traffic pattern to the opposite side of Coleman Boulevard this past week between the intersection of Fairmont Avenue/Shem Drive to Simmons Street. As we continue working on this important capital improvement, please keep in mind the following project information:
- The lane shift will require the removal of the existing traffic lane markings and new traffic lane markings installed.
- The far right east-bound straight/right turn lane coming off the Shem Creek Bridge on Coleman Boulevard to Mill Street during Stage 2 construction will be changed to right turn only during this phase of construction.
- Access to Wilden Street will be past the traffic signal from the right thru traffic lane.
Please use extra caution during this change of the traffic pattern. The above schedule is subject to change depending on weather conditions. "Let 'em work, let 'em live".
