State senator nixes idea of Oakway roundabout

Longtime no fan of South Carolina’s experiment with roundabouts, State Senator Thomas Alexander wants the DOT to consider other alternatives to make highway improvements at Oakway.  A proposed roundabout, or a circle way to move traffic, along SC 24 in the Oakway community has drawn opposition. And Alexander says he wants to solve the traffic safety concerns at 24, 182 and the Oak Creek Road—without a roundabout.
