TO REQUEST THAT THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION ERECT DIRECTIONAL SIGNS AT SUCH LOCATIONS WHICH ARE VISIBLE TO THE MOTORING PUBLIC READING "SUN CITY THIS EXIT" AND THAT THESE SIGNS SHALL BE PLACED AT APPROPRIATE LOCATIONS ON INTERSTATE 95 NEAR THE INTERSECTION WITH HIGHWAY 278 IN JASPER COUNTY, AND IN CERTAIN LOCATIONS ON STATE ROADS 170 AND 278 IN BEAUFORT COUNTY.
Whereas, Sun City Hilton Head is located in Beaufort and Jasper Counties; and
Whereas, Sun City is not an incorporated town but will have 8,000 homes with 16,000 residents; and
Whereas, there are no appropriate signs directing visitors to Sun City; and
Whereas, Sun City has agreed to pay for the costs of the manufacture and placement of the signs. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring:
That the members of the General Assembly request that the Department of Transportation take appropriate steps to post directional signs and that these signs must be erected in locations which are visible to the motoring public so that they can safely find their way to Sun City.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the South Carolina Department of Transportation.
