Charleston City Council is scheduled to vote Tuesday night on a $495,000 contract for the first phase of bluestone sidewalk repairs on Broad Street, covering 742 feet from the King Street corner to 68 Broad St. If approved, construction is expected to begin in January, with each section taking two to four months.
Why this matters here
Broad Street merchants have been dealing with loose and uneven stones that customers trip on, and the city plans temporary walkways and ramps so shop entrances stay reachable during the work. Anyone on that stretch should start planning signage, staffing and promotions around a January start.
