SPEEDING ISSUES
After years of trying, residents living along W. Gayfer Road were pleased when the city's Street and Traffic Control Committee finally approved a permanent stop sign on Gayfer Road at the Blue Island Avenue intersection.
Solar powered driver feedback speed indicator signs installed there about a year ago helped some, but speeding is still a big problem there, according to the residents who submitted the petition for the sign.
Stop signs on such "collector" roads are not usually suitable for speed control -- but they have been used on other similar streets around town as a last resort.
Committee members present were mayor Sullivan, councilman Burrell, public works director Johnson, planning director Simmons, and assistant planning director Jeffries. Lt. Hammrick was proxy for police chief Hollinghead.

Comments
Yes, and the worst everything else. Fairhope is just the worst of the worst, and why nobody wishes to live here, and why housing is so affordable, and why nobody is resentful/jealous enough to post a steady stream of anonymous criticism.
