Daniel Island parking wars? Just walk it off

Following reports (read more here) at a May meeting of the Daniel Island Neighborhood Association, residents have been voicing concerns about parking availability at the Waterfront.

East West Partners revealed the long-vacant graveled parcel that has been used for parking is now being reimagined as a 65-room boutique inn with residences above it, along with public gathering spaces, a possible restaurant, a riverfront bar, and a direct connection to trails.

Though the project would eventually eliminate the temporary lot, Charleston City Councilman Boyd Gregg stressed that parking studies show enough spaces already exist nearby – residents may simply need to walk a little farther.
