Tricky Intersection Fix In Doubt

Volanta Avenue


TRAFFIC SIGNAL GRANT NOT AWARDED

Plans for the city and developers of the massive new Reserve At Fairhope senior community under construction on the corner to jointly improve the Volanta Avenue/Greeno Road intersection may have to be revised after a state grant the city applied for failed to materialize for the second year in a row.

Turning northbound on Greeno from Volanta has always been problematic due to the odd design of a turning lane installed when the road was four-laned over twenty years ago (a business operated there at the time). 

SENIOR COMMUNITY OPENING LATER THIS YEAR

Public works director Johnson told the Times recently a meeting was scheduled with The Reserve At Fairhope developer's engineer to discuss the matter.

Improving the intersection was a condition for approval of the project.

Failure to place a light at that intersection will have major impacts on neighborhood sstreets.

Yes. No left turn onto Greeno from Volanta, that solves the problem.

Publisher: you had indicated the City is negotiating with the contractor on the intersection. Do we know the outcome?
Rather than gamble on a grant, why not have the developer pay for safety improvements and reimburse if a grant goes through?

Yes, we asked about that during the council meeting yesterday; were told the meeting had not taken place yet. Developer has already agreed to make some improvements there (ie turning lanes), question is just what else?
