Hey West Ashley residents, consider taking this survey and join the discussion about the Greenway and Bikeway here is West Ashley.

This spring, the Clemson School of Architecture will continue to work with the Charleston Parks Conservancy and the city of Charleston to create projects that engage the community of West Ashley along the Greenway and Bikeway. These projects are most successful when community members are informed and involved from the initial phases of design. We are asking the community to complete this survey and to attend a virtual conversation hosted by the Charleston Parks Conservancy on February 10th, 2021 at 6pm. Click on the link below for survey.
