Future
Interstate 526 is proposed to be completed from US Route 17 onto Johns Island and James Island across SC 171, bridges over the Stono River to Johns Island. SC 30 will be decommissioned. Interstate 526 would go thru Mount Pleasant, North Charleston, Charleston, Johns Island and James Island. In 2009, the Town of James Island passed a resolution opposing the building of I-526 across any part of the town. A small group of residents, the Coastal Conservation League as well as a grassroots group, called Nix 526, are voicing opposition to the proposed road. The majority of Charleston residents as polled in 2012, support completion of the road.

Famous quotes containing the word future:
“The American West is just arriving at the threshold of its greatness and growth. Where the West of yesterday is glamorized in our fiction, the future of the American West now is both fabulous and factual.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
“Common sense should tell us that reading is the ultimate weapon—destroying ignorance, poverty and despair before they can destroy us. A nation that doesn’t read much doesn’t know much. And a nation that doesn’t know much is more likely to make poor choices in the home, the marketplace, the jury box and the voting booth...The challenge, therefore, is to convince future generations of children that carrying a book is more rewarding than carrying guns.”
—Jim Trelease (20th century)
“Although I’m trying very hard
To sound unlike a birthday card,
That’s all this is: so you may find it
Full of all that lies behind it
Admiration; friendship too;
And hope that in the future you
Reap ever richer revenue.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
