How would you feel about a proposed RIDE III? | We absolutely need a RIDE 3. RIDE 1 served Myrtle Beach and North Myrtle Beach. RIDE 2 mostly served the South Strand, except for the Aynor Overpass. RIDE 3, there’s absolutely a need. RIDE 3 would serve the Carolina Forest community, in particular, and several other areas with cut-through roads or extension of roads. Usually, what you pass through once, people see the benefits.
