Fairhope, Alabama
PROGRESS REPORT
The city's first roundabout on a main street, at the intersection of Fairhope Avenue and Oberg Road, is now expected to be completed around August 1st; based upon a recent test drive, it is of sound design and construction so far.
The one million dollar project will be the county's third roundabout according to other media reports (click): a joint project of the county, city and ALDOT.
12 - 15 thousand cars normally pass through the intersection daily; that has been diverted to side streets during construction.
Landscaping has not been discussed yet to our knowledge, but presumably visibility is an issue so low growing plants only would be used.
The intersection has been closed since March 21st.

Someone did suggest a statue of the mayor be erected there, perhaps somewhat sarcastically though ... .
