COLUMBIA, SC (WOLO)–In our look at Local Living, the City of Columbia is looking for volunteers for a traffic study, to better understand who uses the roadways, streets, and sidewalks.
Officials say the study will look at how to make Columbia Streets safer for pedestrians and cyclists.
Volunteers will help count traffic numbers at various intersections where many pedestrians and cyclists have been killed.
