The Lowcountry Lowline is a planned linear park in Charleston, South Carolina to be located on 1.7 miles of old railroad roadbed. It will run from Mt. Pleasant Street to Courtland Street. The park was first proposed in 2015 by a nonprofit group, the Friends of the Lowcountry Lowline (FLL). The FLL has already done much of the planning for the park. However, in 2022, Charleston city officials were awarded a $7 million grant from the federal grant to be used exclusively for planning purposes. As of August 2024, city officials have not used any portion of that grant because if they do, federal planning requirements will add approximately 3 to 5 years to the park's construction timeline. According to Logan McVey, the current chief policy officer to Charleston's mayor, William S. Cogswell Jr., the park "has been on the shelf for so long that people aren't sure it's ever going to happen." Nonetheless, in 2024, city officials visited Atlanta to meet with representatives of the nonprofit that helped build the Atlanta Beltline to learn how they did so. The FLL is currently advocating for phased construction of the park.
