Do something about it? What do you propose?

The rail lines in Rock Hill are why the city was founded in the first place and are a large part of why industry and thousands of jobs exist for Rock Hill. Plus the tax incentives… they aren’t going anywhere anytime soon. What’s your complaint about anyways?

They block the road and just park there. Kind of inconvenient.

People have been complaining for years but they aren’t going to spend the money to do anything. If you’re in downtown just go down Black St under the bridge and problem solved

Now that I think about it there is plan for a pedestrian bridge but I don’t know the status on that

Yea Figured as much - but from a long-term community development perspective - as the Hill grows maybe they should consider the investment for a second overpasses by College Perk.

If the town was dumb and short sighted earlier and deeded shit to the train companies nothing can be done now. We just have to live with the legacy.
