Daniel Island: 37. Clements Ferry: 11.
On Oct 20 the city's State of Our City tour stopped on Daniel Island for a 54-minute presentation covering Daniel Island and Cainhoy.
Daniel Island came up 37 times. Clements Ferry Road came up 11. The topics specific to Clements Ferry took up about two and a half minutes, roughly 5% of the night.
We share a zip code, a county, a city, and a council district with Daniel Island. Here's what our 11 mentions got us.
Six new lights. No dates.

Every existing light on Clements Ferry has been retimed. Six more are planned.
The catch: Clements Ferry is a state road. SCDOT installs a light only once traffic counts hit its threshold, and developers mostly pay for them. No timeline was given.
In the mayor's words: "I don't know how much more traffic count on Clements Ferry Road you need."
For context, about 40,000 cars a day travel between Jack Primus and 526. That's up 54% since 2015.
Notice where they are: five of the six sit on the Point Hope stretch. Lights follow new development. The busiest stretch, 526 to Jack Primus, gets one.
They answered 1 of our 5 March questions.
The city put the questions from our March 30 community meeting up on a slide. Here's what's in the full breakdown that went out Friday:
- The scorecard: which question got a real answer, and the one that wasn't mentioned once
- Everything Daniel Island got with a date attached, side by side with what we got
- How many more homes Point Hope can legally build, and the number the mayor says is realistic
- The I-526 change that could move faster than anything SCDOT has planned, and who pays for it
- The fire response time out here, and why it shows up on your homeowners insurance
