If the idea of walking and cycling is to be promoted, and I hope it is, ALL developments, retail and housing, should have accessible green space and parks WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE. Should there be significant impact fees on developers/every new property and every new development, to assist with purchasing space for satellite parking for downtown Charleston, improved bus services and bike transportation from these satellite parking areas, and more accessible parks and green space nearby to mitigate increased density that is appearing on the peninsula and nearby? I think this should be of the highest importance. We can’t wait until every space has been filled then wish we had created parks and open space, or better transportation options. Are we already behind in this endeavor or is there a great plan I am unaware of? I feel this should be a top priority to keep Charleston and the surrounding areas livable.

Excellent idea that should be seriously considered. All great cities have great parks. This City should be no different.
