Existing rail lines will be converted to multi-purpose trails
to help connect one's backyard, community parks and preserves
to the Cooper River.
Proposed water-taxi stop would be located at Pier Bravo on
the northern end of the River Center. |

Two major watersheds are the 4,700-acre
Filbin Creek and 1,400-acre Noisette Creek. Through efforts
outlined in the Natural Systems section, citizens of the
community will become stewards of the environment who promote
the "green infrastructure" for
the use of people and wildlife.
In addition, establishment of multi-use recreational trails,
a major river-side park and a green space network will provide
a natural link between neighborhoods and the myriad of community
destinations: schools, commercial areas, workplaces, parks
and the Cooper River. Other aspects of the plan will help integrate
utilities for more efficiency, expand transit options to reduce
car use and pollution, reduce and recycle waste, and build
communications links to help connect the area with the rapidly
changing future of the information age.
