The City of Charleston is requesting approval of the Calhoun Stree-East/Cooper River Waterfront Plan at tonight’s City Council Meeting at 5 pm at City Hall, 80 Broad Street. The Preservation Society of Charleston is supporting the Historic Ansonborough Neighborhood Association’s call for a deferral of this decision. In addition, they are requesting a moratorium be passed on this and other plans such as the Union Pier Plan until the Task Force that was promised at the Historic Charleston Foundation Forum three weeks ago completes its assesment and a comprehensive traffic study which takes into consideration the cumulative effects of these projects is done.
