Recovering Main Street, Walhalla parking spaces

A committee of the Walhalla City Council directed the city administrator to approach SCDOT about restoring and re-striping a number of parallel parking spaces on Main Street. The request came before the council committee for streets, the result of a community meeting. Dave Poulson, city administrator, said DOT’s concurrence is required because Main Street remains state-maintained and the agency will be liable to insist on meeting current standards covering what can be striped as a legal parking spot. Because of the September fire that decimated a large part of one downtown block, parking spaces have been reduced. And last night, Councilwoman Lynn McClain called for better signage to alert motorists where they are welcome to park.
