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:
“Higher than the question of our duration is the question of our deserving. Immortality will come to such as are fit for it, and he would be a great soul in future must be a great soul now.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“It is marvelous indeed to watch on television the rings of Saturn close; and to speculate on what we may yet find at galaxy’s edge. But in the process, we have lost the human element; not to mention the high hope of those quaint days when flight would create “one world.” Instead of one world, we have “star wars,” and a future in which dumb dented human toys will drift mindlessly about the cosmos long after our small planet’s dead.”
—Gore Vidal (b. 1925)
“We live in an age when to be young and to be indifferent can be no longer synonymous. We must prepare for the coming hour. The claims of the Future are represented by suffering millions; and the Youth of a Nation are the trustees of Posterity.”
—Benjamin Disraeli (1804–1881)
