PCC participated in another Walk Audit to provide recommendations for safety improvements on another dangerous road, where funding will be secured. This Audit, initiated by the Community Health Coordinator at Brookland-Lakeview Empowerment Center in West Columbia, was located along 378 around Lexington Medical Center where there were a significant number of pedestrian fatalities and serious injuries. The problem was identified by the new organization in West Columbia: Active & Accessible Community Transit. Also attending were representatives from SC Department of Public Safety, ABLE South Carolina (disability advocates), SCDOT, and City of Cayce planning department. This group was 1 of the 5 local groups in the Walkability Action Institute, noted above.
