GREAT CITIES DO NOT HAPPEN OVERNIGHT
CREATING PLACE AND PROSPERITY REQUIRES PATIENCE
The creation of a vibrant Arts and Innovation District in the urban center, detailed in Myrtle Beach’s master plan, came from the walkability study.
The City
Council created a downtown Municipal Improvement District funded by an
additional one-percent tax on businesses, which overwhelmingly supported it.
“We keep
looking at safer pedestrian crosswalks, ways to enable walkability,” said Laura
Crowther, CEO of CCAR.
“Sidewalks
are one of the most impactful things in a city.
When our
city administrator at the time was out on a walking tour, he was surprised that
sidewalks were impassable in certain areas.
We
emphasized that you have to have good sidewalks to provide accessibility for
all.”
