Mark Kruea Quotations

We're making sure that everyone is aware and that the beach patrols and lifeguards are keeping an eye on the swimmers and that everybody knows about the riptide possibility.

We are one of the few places that have zoning in place. The city acted even before the legislature changed the law. I think council and staff saw the very likely possibility that tattooing would be allowed in South Carolina and wanted to be prepared and wanted to have something in place if and when it passed. There's no reason to wait until the last minute if the train is coming down the tracks.

We try to avoid disruptions during the summer months. Between Easter and Labor Day, we try not to dig up the roads and cause traffic problems.

We try not to cause any more traffic problems than there already are. We shut projects down. We button things up so we don't have anything in the roadway unless it's an absolute emergency.

We are very conscious of the need to serve those residents and visitors who have physical disabilities.

As the marathon has grown, the traffic hot spots have grown, as well.

There just aren't that many places that we can stop providing service.

It's just so there will be no dispute about who owns what. As lawsuits go, this is about as friendly as they get.

Then we would expect the hotel to pick up its share.

Before the sun goes down Saturday, it will be difficult to tell we had a marathon because the crews clean up so well.

Certainly, we do need to budget some money from the hospitality fees. ... We just don't know what that exact dollar amount is. There will be monies set aside.

This is a good compromise. This was a pragmatic solution that serves, I think, everyone's interest.

This is a good compromise. The NAACP and the city in talking about this realized we had some of the same goals. This was a pragmatic solution that serves, I think, everyone's interest.

The city is seeking to quiet the title on that piece of beach and preserve it for the public.

The conditions have changed since the city's original opposition. Development has occurred, and more traffic will be generated through that intersection.
