June 2 Cayce Avenues Association Meeting 6:30pm

Our June Avenues Association Meeting features Cayce City Councilman, Skip Jenkins who represents Holland, Lexington and parts of Oakland and Poplar.

Jennifer Pournelle with the Brickyard Branch Watershed Association will talk about the watersheds in our community and share some great ideas about the actions we can take to abate stormwater drainage in our neighborhood. 

In addition, Corporal Eddie West and the COPS team will be rolling out their neighborhood crime watch program. 

Code Enforcement will also be available for questions as well. 

The meeting will be at the Woman's Club of Cayce clubhouse at 701 Oakland Avenue. Wheelchair access is available from the back parking area. We will also broadcast the meeting through Facebook Live.  It will also be added to this website.

Progress for reducing speeding on the Avenues is being made! Last night Cayce Council endorsed the SCDOT plan for enhancing the stop sign flow on the Avenues. The Yellow and Red dots are the changes that will occur. Also, if you notice at the top, there will also be a new stoplight at 7th and Knox Abbott to allow another easy access route from BCHS. There also will be crosswalks at L Ave and 6th and 7th streets as well as Holland and State and Frink and Julius Felder.

We have not seen the implementation plan, but SCDOT did say in April that it would be phased in. Once a schedule is available, we will make sure it is distributed.

This is only the first step in this process. Once the sign changes have been implemented, they will be evaluated to make sure they are sufficient or need to be tweaked. New speed studies will need to be done after the installation as well to help determine the next steps.

Please continue to give us your feedback so we can pass it along to Chief Cowan.

April 7th Avenues Meeting

Our April Avenues Association Meeting featured Cayce City Manager, Tracy Hegler. Tracy addressed many neighborhood concerns as well as proposed changes to the stop signs within the Avenues. SCDOT has sent a final recommendation for the State - 12th Street stop sign realignment and included resident recommendations from our February meeting. The Axtell curve and upper L Avenue (above 12th street is still being studied). 

Tracy was joined by representatives from Cayce Police and Code Enforcement as usual.

April Meeting Recording

Hi Avenue Neighbors!

Last week, we had a successful neighborhood meeting focusing on speeding in the Avenues among other topics. Attached, you will find a link to the meeting as well as original copies of the existing stop sign matrix and the proposed matrix. Also, we added pictures of where the proposed crosswalks will be located.

I suggest viewing the meeting along with the documents as context matters. As Chief Cowan pointed out, this is the initial proposal and SCDOT is taking back the suggestions those in attendance offered, especially looking at Axtell and upper L Ave. There will be a 2nd presentation to us before it is sent to the City Manager's office for action. Chief Cowan is also looking at other actionables to help reduce speeding in our neighborhood.

If you have suggestions, post them in this thread or send them by messenger to us by the end of the week. We will be glad to combine them into one document and get the information to Chief and SCDOT.
