Fairhope, Alabama
City public works crews have begun filling in a steep bank along the south side of Hwy 104 in preparation for the expected commencement of work next month on a sidewalk/walking trail up to Greeno Rd. -- and then north across a new Fly Creek bridge to the Rock Creek neighborhood.
Drivers are being asked to use caution there or avoid the area altogether.
The project was delayed for over a year by right of way acquisition and other technical issues.
The $550K project is funded mostly by a federal Transportation Alternative Grant; but the city will pay about $150K of that (click).
A representative from public works will be on the site Tuesday at 10AM to explain details.

After my return I again come to near disastrous fate with ignorant drivers or those that dislike bikers or hikers. Never the less, if you recall the late http://www.bikeforums.net/advocacy-safety/114099-teen-hit-run-driver-kills-popular-cyclist-lary-mcduff-fairhope-alabama.html
A proposal for video recorders on bycycles that can be used in court.
Signs everywhere teaching the ignorant ones that prosecution is eminent for not sharing the road.
