SAMUEL R. FOSTER, for Committee.
A CONCURRENT
RESOLUTION
TO DIRECT THE DEPARTMENT OF HIGHWAYS AND PUBLIC
TRANSPORTATION TO UTILIZE ALTERNATIVE B OR D FOR
IMPLEMENTING THE ANDERSON BYPASS AND
ANDERSON-ABBEVILLE CONNECTOR ROUTES WHICH WILL
USE EXISTING STATE HIGHWAY 29 TO CONNECT WITH
UNITED STATES INTERSTATE 85.
Whereas, the Anderson Bypass and the Anderson-Abbeville Connector
are integral components of the State Highway Improvement Plan; and
Whereas, the projects will serve transportation needs and improve travel
opportunities throughout the State; and
Whereas, a primary objective is to determine the best corridor for the
bypass and connector facilities to deliver maximum traffic service and
create minimum development impact; and
Whereas, numerous economic benefits will be derived from the project
including equal opportunity to access regional hospital and emergency
care facilities, educational institutions, shopping, civic arenas, and social
and cultural opportunities; and
Whereas, two types of roadway improvements have been considered in
the study: one to build a new controlled access facility and one to
upgrade an existing highway; and
Whereas, during these economically depressed times the most
cost-efficient method is to use the existing highway; and
Whereas, the department has a proposal, Alternative B or D, which will
accomplish the objectives of utilizing the existing highway and being
fiscally responsible by employing resources efficiently in improving the
highway instead of expending greater sums to build a new highway
thereby abandoning a viable highway; and
Whereas, the proposal presented at public forum workshops held on
October 28 and 29, 1991, and November 4, 1991, provides for the use
of an upgraded State Highway 29 to connect with Interstate 85. Now,
therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:
That the Department of Highways and Public Transportation is directed
to use Alternative B or D utilizing existing State Highway 29 to connect
with United States Interstate 85 instead of the proposal to build a new
highway or to use State Highway 81 for the Anderson ByPass and the
Anderson-Abbeville Connector.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the
Executive Director of the South Carolina Department of Highways and
Public Transportation.
