City officials push a preventive pavement program to extend road life and reduce future crises. They cite Whiskey Road traffic volumes and DOT data while pledging to renovate the Public Safety HQ and build new roads to ease up to 30 percent of current congestion.
The city plans to fund the Transportation Improvement and Public Safety Program from a 1 percent hospitality tax totaling about $400,000 annually and a rise in franchise fees to 5 percent on SCE&G and Aiken Electric Cooperative, generating about $1 million for roads. Projects include Whiskey Road traffic alternatives, mall access from East Pine Log and Powderhouse corridors, and upgrades to roads, sidewalks, bike paths, parkways, and utilities. Funding starts in 2017 with full benefits in 2017-18 after council approval and online transparency.
