Folly Road and the James Island Connector

During peak afternoon hours, James Island residents sit at the congested intersection of the James Island Connector and Folly Road. Glatting Jackson saw major opportunities beyond traffic relief for this busy intersection. By turning the end of the James Island connector into a boulevard and also building a support network of streets to take the pressure off the main intersection and allow local trips to reach their destinations more efficiently, this alternative creates a web of opportunities for James Island travelers. Further, by turning the end of the connector and the adjoining properties into a town center for James Island, this alternative will help capture trips on James Island so residents won’t have to leave the island for a majority of their daily trips. This alternative will help traffic and will help confirm James Island’s identity of a close knit community.
