(Columbia, SC) -- Columbia residents could get to decide how to solve a recurring problem downtown.
In his State of the City address yesterday, Mayor Steve Benjamin said he'll propose a referendum that could stop trains from stopping on the tracks and causing traffic tie-ups on Assembly Street.
Benjamin says train traffic is up 800-percent, and he'll ask the DOT to work on a solution. If they can't find one, Benjamin tells WIS 10 News he'll ask voters to approve a 70-million dollar rail flyover.
