Fairhope, Alabama
A "RODEO" PLANNED FOR ONE
The city council approved closing more streets for the May 4th First Friday Art Walk, to allow for more room for pedestrians and street musicians -- and for what is being called a "parking rodeo" on Johnson Avenue, where citizens will be able to use a car provided by the city (with insurance) to "practice" the new reverse (back-in) angle parking that is being planned there.
Besides the usual De La Mare, Fairhope Avenue will be closed as well from Section Street to Church Street for the 6 - 8 PM event.
Crowds gathering to listen to musicians often extend out into the streets, causing safety concerns for police.

Then, I heard about the proposed roundabout at the intersection where the Flower Clock is.
Those pale in comparison to this.

What a waste of money these vanity projects typically become. The clock is a joke; I hope that the Johnson Road parking works out but I don't have high hopes. Typically, cars are bumper to bumper b/c of the poor light timing and the over building here.
Hopeful!
