BLYTHEWOOD – Residents had the opportunity to get an up close look at some of the proposals for changes to roads in downtown Blythewood that were on display at The Manor.
As part of the Richland County Transportation Penny Tax program, the town is in line to have Creech Road extended from Blythewood Road down to Main Street (Highway 21/Wilson Boulevard) as well as the construction of a four-way stop at the intersection of McNulty Street and Boney Road.
Before plans are drawn up for the two projects, Richland County officials wanted to hear from the residents of Blythewood regarding their preferences for the extension and the roundabout.
Of the four Blythewood projects that will be completed with Penny Tax funds, the first will be to widen and improve the Creech Road Extension down to Main Street. Second priority is to widen and improve McNulty Street from Main Street to Blythewood Road. The third priority is to widen and improve Blythewood Road from I-77 to Main Street. And the fourth priority is to widen and improve Blythewood Road from Syrup Mill Road to Fulmer Road.
