B.Pathway Safety Enhancements – Un-signalized High-Speed Crosswalks
Scott Liggett began by stating staff had begun discussions earlier this year regarding how best to
bring about a level of consistency to the crosswalks that we have here on the Island. Because many
have been integrated and installed by the Town over the years, the philosophies in that time have
changed resulting in a variety of treatments. The goal is to obtain from the community, and
Intergovernmental & Public Safety Committee
September 10, 2018

ultimately Council, the desired direction related to reinforcing the consistent message with signage
and pavement markings. Funding will be found within the Town’s capital improvements program
for pathway safety and access enhancements in the current fiscal year.
Jeff Buckalew then spoke to the committee about the goal to inform and educate the motorists,
drivers, and pedestrians using the crosswalks with a consistent message. This project being
described could potentially have multiple tiers, such as future ambient overhead lighting, or even a
potential future traffic signal if warranted. Currently, there are different signs, styles, and sizes. All
of the crosswalks on William Hilton Parkway are owned and operated by the South Carolina
Department of Transportation (SCDOT) and, with their approval, the Town will initiate the
upgrades to the crosswalks. Town staff is considering to employ the walking man sign for
consistent usage at each un-signalized crossing. The signs would straddle both sides of the
crosswalk with arrows pointing down at the crosswalk where motorists can expect someone to step
out. Along with those signs, a reflective strip on sign post can be added to further enhance
awareness. Another additional enhancement to help driver awareness are illuminated signs with
lights around the perimeter. Town staff’s recommendation is a dust to dawn illuminated perimeter
around the sign. Additional treatments are pavement markings. Staff will ensure that all crosswalks
meet current standards of the ladder bar crosswalk treatment. Another pavement marking option is
“PED XING” in advance of the crosswalk, to further warn motorists that they are approaching a
crosswalk. There are many versions of reflectors and reflector strips that will allow motorists to be
aware of crosswalks; including raised reflective pavement markers illuminated by approaching
headlights. There are eleven un-signalized crosswalks on William Hilton Parkway/ US 278 that
would employ some of these options. This Yacht Cove example is a template, as some crosswalks
may involve more work than others. Once the changes on William Hilton Parkway are done, Town
staff would look at the second tier of roads, such as Marshland Road, Squire Pope Road, Mathews
Drive and Beach City Road.
Committee comments were solicited. The committee members agreed that this was a good starting
point; however, there was a consensus on the need to slow traffic. US 278 is a road system that is
demanded by semi-trucks, residents, tourists, bikers and pedestrians, combining multiple uses into
one right of way. SCDOT would need to have a request to do a speed study before they embark on
lowering the speed limit. Town staff would need direction from Council to complete a speed study
on the designated roads. Mr. Ames quoted a term called “traffic calming” which employs a
combination of measures and subliminal messages intended to slow down and improve the overall
safety on the roads. There was further discussion on the various safety enhancements that could be
installed and instituted keeping in mind the environmental and aesthetic vision of the Island.
The Chairman asked for public comments. Frank Babel addressed the educational component
needed for the citizens of Hilton Head Island. The Bicycle Advisory Committee would like to
work with the Town and expand on educating the communities on bicycle and pedestrian safety.
Mr. Babel also recommended additional signage for the pedestrians and walkers on the pathways
and leisure trails. Town staff agreed to consider the suggested treatments and how to properly
advance some of those ideas.
Chairman Harkins proposed Mr. Ames’ following motion to the committee: the Intergovernmental
and Public Safety Committee approve the recommendations of staff with the addition of the
recommendation to do a William Hilton Parkway/ US 278 corridor speed study and pass this onto
Intergovernmental & Public Safety Committee

Town Council. It was seconded by the Mayor. With no further discussion, the motion was
approved by a vote of 3-0.
C.Discussion of Hilton Head Island Biking Interests
i)Reviewing the Importance of biking to the Hilton Head Island community
ii)Reviewing the Importance of biking safety
iii)Discussion of what is being done to measure and improve of both of those items
Frank Babel, Co-Chair of the Hilton Head Island Bicycle Advisory Committee, gave a PowerPoint
presentation on Hilton Head Island Biking Safety. Although it focused primarily on biking, this
related to pedestrian safety as well. Mr. Babel started with the background of the Hilton Head
Island Bicycle Advisory Committee and how their mission is to make Hilton Head Island safer and
more bike friendly for everyone. The biking environment is important to the Island as it
encompasses all ages, abilities, genders and pocketbooks. A safe pathway system and roadway
network is important to the community. The presentation continued on with details about crash
history and the reality of the mix of drivers on the road. This data, from the Beaufort County
Sheriff’s Office, provides the committee with measurable, positive results. The presentation ended
with a list of sixteen recommendations that could be implemented in the future.
Chairman Harkins thanked Mr. Babel for the review. Committee and public comments were
solicited. There was consensus to the importance for the Bike Committee’s positive influence in
the community. There was additional dialog and questions about the specific signage being
suggested by the committee. Further study is warranted for some of the specific crash sites to
mitigate potential, dangerous situations.
Before the meeting ended, Mayor Bennett requested Josh Gruber, Assistant Town Manager, to set
up a workshop meeting with the Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office (BSCO) and the
Intergovernmental & Public Safety Committee regarding the performance audit and the BCSO
response.
6.Adjournment
With no further business items, there was a motion for adjournment by Mr. Ames and seconded by
Mayor Bennett. The meeting was adjourned at 11:13 A.M.

A.Pathway Safety Enhancements – Un-signalized High-Speed Crosswalks
Chairman Harkins began the meeting by recognizing Brian and Daisy Bobinchuck, extending
Town Council’s and the community’s heartfelt sympathy to them for the terrible loss of their
daughter, Charli.
Scott Liggett was called to the podium and introduced the outcome of the September 10, 2018
Intergovernmental & Public Safety Committee Meeting including the recommendations that were
brought forward by Town Staff. The focus was on William Hilton Parkway with specific reference
to the Yacht Cove un-signalized crosswalks, utilizing those as a template moving forward. These
recommendations were endorsed by committee as well as a speed study between Squire Pope Road
and Sea Pines Circle. In addition, Staff remains prepared to embark on a formal signal warrant
study at the Yacht Cove intersection upon receipt of the accident investigation report from the
Department of Public Safety. The recommended treatments to the crosswalks do not preclude nor
prevent any additional treatments in the future.
Jeff Buckalew then started a PowerPoint presentation with a focus on the Yacht Cove intersection
Intergovernmental & Public Safety Committee

and crosswalks. The first slide exhibited the existing conditions at the Yacht Cove intersection. Mr.
Buckalew explained the current markings, signage and specific areas on the roadway. He continued
on by explaining the Town’s intent to implement consistent signage with the same color and
“Walking Man” logo. These highly reflective signs will straddle the roadways at each crosswalk.
To further heighten driver awareness, the Town would implement reflectors around the raised
median islands in the center of the road. In addition, raised thermoplastic reflective pavement
markers would be placed on the pavement right at the front of the crosswalk. The Town would
place elongated words, “PED XING” in front of each crosswalk. Mr. Buckalew explained that
thermoplastic is a hot-applied road marking compound for the creation of highly reflective
stripings with long-term performance. The Town would like to employ these treatments at the (11)
un-signalized crosswalks on US 278.
There was more discussion regarding the suggestion of utilizing blinking LED lights around the
perimeter of the walking-man sign during the hours of dusk-through dawn. Ultimately, this was not
a direction the Town decided to take.
The Committee asked for clarity regarding the proposed request for a speed limit study. The
conversation focused on what area of US 278 would be studied as well as the criteria South
Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) uses to establish whether or not 45 MPH should
be the posted speed. Darrin Shoemaker responded that the State generally starts by graphing the
existing vehicle speeds, noting the average speed of the majority of motorists. Then SCDOT takes
into account various other factors, such as: the amount of pedestrian and bicycle activity, the type
and density of roadside development, lane curvatures and widths, and road geometrics.
Other public comments were solicited. Mr. Liggett was asked to explain to Bruce Pitkin, a board
member of the Yacht Cove Homeowners Association, the treatment evolution of bicycle pathways
over the years. Mr. Bobinchuck then spoke of the need for overhead lighting, or self-activated
crosswalk lighting at the un-signalized crosswalks providing more protection to driver and
pedestrian alike. Patsy Brison further noted her concerns, including the un-signalized crossings on
South Forest Beach Drive. Frank Babel spoke about the mid-island corridor area where there is
limited site distance because of the foliage, vehicle turning lanes and overall speed of the cars. Mr.
Liggett clarified that that any modifications to the US 278 right-of-way will require SCDOT
approval. This includes any lighting treatment whatsoever. Town Staff does not have any
opposition to lighting but the discussion will need to include some guidance, goals and objectives
from Town Council. There was further discussion regarding the speed study, potential elimination
of a crosswalk or addition of a traffic light. With any change, the Town will need to make sure is
that there aren’t any unintended consequences in regards to operational standards and capacity on
the roadway. Town staff would have to specifically order that analysis to consider future changes
within the US 278 corridor.
Council members continued to further comment on the Island brand that they are trying to protect
and enhance with these priorities. Mr. Ames spoke of the three opportunities in front of Town
Council: 1) Bridge corridor, 2) Pope Avenue lane widths and, 3) the crosswalk situation. All of
these have safety implications but they also have aesthetic and social ramifications. This is the time
to thoughtfully decide how we, as a community, want to move people on the Island as well as what
we are trying to communicate to our visitors and residents to satisfy the safety and social
requirements that are around our community. There was further discussion about creating inherent
features in the area that indicates drivers should slow down.

The council members agreed of the need to converge with Town staff to form a plan including any
policy changes that may or may not be needed. Mayor Bennett noted that there is a need to have
Beaufort County Sheriff’s officers enforce the speed laws because cars seem to driving
substantially faster, seemingly without recourse. Until that component is built into the plan, this
will continue to be part of the issue. Chairman Harkins noted that the committee’s number #1
priority is public safety with the agreement of Council to move forward with some type of melded
thought and address the situation immediately.
Additional public comments were solicited. Frank Babel spoke of a policy in many municipalities
throughout the country called “Complete Streets”. It’s a policy that requires municipalities to treat
every street and take account all the users: cars, trucks, bicycles and pedestrians. Tamara Becker
spoke to the Town’s focus should not be on capacity, bringing people onto the Island, and moving
them around, but rather on the people who are walking and riding their bikes. Truitt Rabun spoke
of the formation of Island’s Pathways for Safety during the Town’s inception. The Town has a
responsibility to the public with regard to those areas that are commonly held to the joint benefit of
the community as a whole. And pathways are part of that. In terms of lighting, Mr. Rabun
suggested the Dark Skies organization. This organization works with communities to help bring
lighting into communities without the lighting and without being detrimental to the community.
Hilton Head Community is known for being able to see the stars with low impact lighting. Heather
Rath asked to have further explanation about what are the barriers to lighting the crosswalks and
intersections on the Island. Josh Gruber answered by stating that there is nothing currently in the
code that indicates what our standards are in regards to crosswalk lighting in the town. Town Staff,
with the guidance and parameters from Town Council, can formulate a policy to incorporate
lighting on US 278. There is a balance between the need for safety and the need for aesthetics with
this project. Mr. Gruber went on to note that anything done within the right-of-way of US 278
would ultimately need the state’s approval. The process is to submit a proposal to SCDOT and wait
for their response as to whether or not they will allow the changes to be incorporated.
Mayor Bennett made a motion that the Intergovernmental & Public Safety Committee make a
recommendation to Town Council that we approve the recommendations as set forth by Staff in
their memo adding an element for lighting the crosswalk, utilizing the information that Truitt
Rabun has supplied in the course of the meeting regarding Dark Sky principles and to remove the
flashing lights element. It was seconded by Mr. Ames. The motion was approved by a vote of 3-0.
Mr. Harkins asked that at the next meeting (November 5, 2018) Town Staff have a time table on
how the pathway safety enhancement project will move forward.

5. New Business
a. Beaufort County Animal Control Ordinance
Amendment
COUNTY COUNCIL OF BEAUFORT COUNTY
Public Safety Division
To: Hilton Head Town Council
From: Beaufort County Animal Services
Subject: The Proposed Changes to Chapter 14- ANIMALS
Date: 10/16/2018
Executive Summary:
Beaufort County Animal Services (BCAS) is submitting this proposal seeking Council’s approval of the
changes made to Chapter 14: ANIMALS. The revised ordinances will help BCAS make Beaufort County a
safer place for its residents and pets.
The key changes are as follows:
14-27: Muzzle is now defined as a guard, typically made of straps or wire, f itted over
part of an animal’s face to stop it from biting or feeding.
14-29 (d): County license and fees: The director of BCAS will establish a fee schedule
subject to approval by County Council.
14-30: Restricted breeds- definition of PitBull is clarified to expressly include American
Bully, American Bulldog and Cane Corso, all of which are relatively new mixed breeds of Pit bull.
This section reduced the days to comply with spay/neuter requirements from 30 days to 10
days to align with the time provided for an appeal of the breed determinations.
14-32: Dangerous Dog. Added that a magistrate may deem a dog dangerous in cases
where a serious injury occurred to a human other than the owner, regardless of provocation or
location. Expanding the ability for magistrates to deem a dog dangerous will protect the public
from dogs that are dangerous but do not fit neatly into the existing categories.
Note: Cases are sometimes unclear as to whether the animal was provoked (for example the
case of the blind dog, or the child). These cases occurred in the animal’s normal place of
confinement, with unclarity about provocation but resulted in serious bodily harm to a human.
14-32 (b)(2): Dangerous Dog. The Animal Services Officers may take temporary
possession of an animal initially determined to be dangerous in cases where a human or other
animal has been injured, until final hearing before a Magistrate judge.
COUNTY COUNCIL OF BEAUFORT COUNTY
Public Safety Division
Note: Currently Animal Services Officers need to obtain a pick up order to temporarily gain
custody of an alleged dangerous dog, unnecessarily burdening the court and staff.
14-34 (d): Includes what classifies a pet as a nuisance.
14-35 (f): Animals cannot be tethered during named Tropical Storms and named
Hurricanes.
14-38 (f): Only government agencies and organizations that are “contracted” with
government agencies can perform animal control services have authority to impound
animals. All stray animals must be taken to shelter or affiliated organizations.
14-47(d): Provides that a magistrate has the authority to order possession and custody
of an animal to BCAS when a person is in violation of the ordinance.
14-47 (f): Administrative citations and penalties. Ordinance proposes to include a
process for administrative citations and penalties. Violations subject to administrative
citations and penalties include but are not limited to: mandatory dog
licenses/registrations, mandatory rabies vaccinations, permitting a dog to run at large,
mandatory spay/neuter, and warnings for a noisy pub lic nuisance animal.
Note: Administrative citations are for non-criminal charges. Certain violations should be
handled administratively instead of as criminal charges in the Magistrate Court. We estimate
reducing the animal court docket by 50%-60%.

UNIFORM CRIME REPORT
TOWN OF HILTON HEAD
3RD QUARTER 2018
DATA SOURCE/CRITERIA
All law enforcement agencies in the state compile incident-based data on crimes occurring in their
jurisdiction. While one incident can result in multiple offenses being tracked in the local system,
only data that meets the national criteria is forwarded to the SC Law Enforcement Division.
Currently if a burglary is reported and property stolen, two offenses are tracked locally but only
the major crime, burglary, is reported using the South Carolina Incident-Based Reporting System.
This data is collected by SLED and then forwarded to the FBI, which administers the Uniform
Crime Reporting (UCR) program.
The Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office will begin using the UCR criteria to account for crime in
this report so that it will more closely match the data published by the FBI.
Crimes Against Persons will include Murder, Aggravated Assault, Robbery and Forcible Rape.
Crimes Against Property will include Burglary, Larceny and Auto Theft.
Vehicle Collisions will remain the same as they are not reportable UCR crimes.
This report is based only on the crimes that occurred on Hilton Head Island.
