(WCSC) - Isle of Palms city leaders say they will work with the state department of transportation to create more public parking for nonresidents. The decision came after SCDOT’S Secretary of Transportation Christy Hall sent the mayor and council members a letter about public parking restrictions. In that letter, Hall said they plan on revoking the city’s beach parking plan which restricts parking access to a lot of people who don’t live on the island.
