Fairhope, Alabama
Several small oak tress that had been growing in a parking lot median behind the French Quarter (adjacent to community park) downtown have been re-located to the area adjacent a new sidewalk being installed along Highway 104.
The parking lot will be paved and re-striped next week to provide 12 more parking spaces -- by reducing their size slightly (shorter and narrower).
The trees will provide shade and help prevent erosion along the new sidewalk, where city crews recently widened the shoulder and made drainage improvements.
Eventually it will extend all the way to the Rock Creek neighborhood, but that project has been delayed again according to a city official.

If the downtown merchants would park in the city parking garage instead of in front of their stores.....there would be a lot more parking.
greed is not good.
Except for Greer's. That place is nasty.
We tried to warn you.
