THE COMMITTEE ON

INVITATIONS AND MEMORIAL RESOLUTIONS

To whom was referred a Concurrent Resolution (S. 51) to request that the Department of Transportation name the overpass in North Charleston identified as the "Seven Mile Viaduct" the "P. H. Livingston Overpass" and erect appropriate, etc., respectfully

REPORT:

That they have duly and carefully considered the same and recommend that the same do pass:

LISTON D. BARFIELD for Committee.

            

A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

TO REQUEST THAT THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION NAME THE OVERPASS IN NORTH CHARLESTON IDENTIFIED AS THE "SEVEN MILE VIADUCT" THE "P. H. LIVINGSTON OVERPASS" AND ERECT APPROPRIATE MARKERS OR SIGNS AT THIS OVERPASS THAT CONTAIN THE WORDS "P. H. LIVINGSTON OVERPASS".

Whereas, roads and bridges throughout Charleston County and the State of South Carolina have been named in honor of distinguished citizens who have given of both their time and effort to improve upon their communities; and

Whereas, Philip H. Livingston was a long-time resident of North Charleston, moving there in the early 1900's and was actively involved in his community as a citizen and businessman until his death in 1937; and

Whereas, Mr. Livingston was a small businessman who provided a variety of services to the residents of North Charleston, including establishing a grocery store, gas station, restaurant, and Livingston's Tourist Camp; and

Whereas, Mr. Livingston and his businesses played a significant role in the development of the Rivers Avenue area, including providing jobs and providing the soil utilized to build the overpass, locally known as the "Seven Mile Viaduct", also known as the "Amtrak Overpass"; and

Whereas, Philip H. Livingston II, born in 1925 in the upstairs of his father's home on Rivers Avenue, followed his father's entrepreneurial footsteps and service to the North Charleston community by opening Livingston Auto Parts; and

Whereas, when Philip H. Livingston II passed away in 1985, the citizens of North Charleston demonstrated their appreciation by lining up on both sides of Rivers Avenue to pay their respects during his funeral procession; and

Whereas, both Mr. Philip H. Livingston and his son, Philip H. Livingston II, were men dedicated to their families and community; and

Whereas, it would be fitting and proper to name a highway facility in North Charleston in honor of the memory of Mr. Philip H. Livingston and his son, Mr. Philip H. Livingston II, where both these men lived, worked and raised their families, and it would be fitting to name a facility for which Philip H. Livingston provided the soil upon which to build the highway facility. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate, with the House of Representatives concurring:

That the members of the General Assembly request that the Department of Transportation name the overpass in North Charleston after the intersection of Rivers Avenue and Durant Road, also known as the "Seven Mile Viaduct", also known as "Amtrak Overpass", the "P. H. Livingston Seven Mile Viaduct" and erect appropriate markers or signs at this overpass that contain the words "P. H. Livingston Seven Mile Viaduct".

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Department of Transportation.
