Resident tells commissioners a driveway sight-line hazard needs Pickens County Road Department follow-up
Summary
A resident said a high bank and obstructed sight lines at her daughter's driveway in Pickens County create a safety hazard and requested the Road Department cut back vegetation and follow up; staff asked her to provide the address and said they would collect the information for follow-up.
Brandy Buchanan described a site-hazard at 1750 (address given on the record) where a high bank and vegetation block sight lines as drivers pass at speed; she said a mirror currently helps identify oncoming traffic but that she has nearly been hit while pulling from the driveway. Buchanan said she first sought advice from Cherokee County staff and then contacted the Pickens County Road Department in January but had not seen a resolution.
The chair told Buchanan staff would take her information after the meeting and follow up. Buchanan said she had spoken with the road crew previously and that a prior on-site observation suggested an internet line would need removal to clear the sight line, which could take time. The request was recorded as a public comment for staff follow-up rather than a formal board action.
Provenance: Public comment began when Buchanan gave her name and address and concluded when the chair asked staff to collect her details for follow-up.
