Fairhope, Alabama
MONTROSE PARK DAMAGED IN 2014
A boardwalk at the end of Sibley Street in Montrose (in the county's jurisdiction) that was washed away during the April 2014 super-rainstorm is finally being replaced using a federal Transportation Alternatives Grant (TAP) which will cover 80% of the cost to the county.
Blade Construction Llc. was the low-bidder at $213K.
There was some discussion at one time about the city taking over responsibility for the area after repairs -- but nothing was ever decided to our knowledge.

These grants from the federal government need to be eliminated. If the local citizens want a walkway, then we should be required to pay for it. No wonder our country has a twenty trillion dollar deficit!!
BTW, the walkway on Hwy. 98 from Rock Creek to Hwy 104 is another walkway paid for by the feds under the TAP program.
