Fairhope, Alabama
EASTERN SHORE MPO MEETS
Funding for a sidewalk on Gayfer Road Extension from the Meadowbrook Subdivison to Bishop Road was approved by the Policy Board this morning; construction should begin in 2017.
The relatively high total cost for the project of about $130K is due to the many drainage concerns in the area.
Even though the area is outside of city limits, in 2013 then five year old Meadowbrook resident Annabellle Vestal approached Mayor Kant and County Commissioner Dorsey about the need for a sidewalk there; and she appeared before the September 2015 MPO meeting to make her case as well, where it was added to their "visionary list" -- but not funded.
Mayor Kant is Chairman of the Policy Board and councilman Burrell a member.
Media reports from the time say she provided a petition with 66 names -- and "chocolate cookies" to the mayor in the intervening years to keep up interest.
OTHER MATTERS
* Resurfacing of CR 13 from Hwy 104 to Fairhope Avenue and Scenic Hwy 98 from Nelson Road to Mullet Point is scheduled for this September.
* Installation of Veterans' Cemetery directional signs is underway now on freeways.
* Final installation of adaptive traffic signal coordination along U.S. 98 is scheduled for this August.
* A video kiosk is now being installed at the Fairhope courthouse for informational purposes.
* All members are currently updating their ADA compliance lists.
* AMTRAC train service will probably be restored to New Orleans from Mobile, but not to Baldwin County at this time.
* ALDOT has decided to fully fund the $3 million divergent-diamond interchange on I-10 at Hwy 181 in 2018, freeing up money for other MPO projects.

Would really reflect poorly on you and amongst your social circle and your kids social circle.
Then to write the mayor of FAIRHOPE a letter concerning and to follow up in person with a plate of chocolate- chip cookies to see if he received your personnel letter and with petition in hand (having gone dr to dr) and for Public Speaking from the podium to the Baldwin County Board. And all this @ the age of five years old.
That Bella is very commendable and good potential fr International- Lawyership-Ha.
Also having to learn the negative responses from the community/ worldly at such a young age.
Maybe more children are in need to be Home-Schooled in Baldwin County. ����
Unk,

What's the problem with putting in a sidewalk anyway? Why the opposition?
