Fairhope, Alabama 

 Update: Construction start date is by August 1st and finished by Nov. 1st.

New design.

 

Current condition.

$282K PROJECT

The city council awarded low-bidder R H Deas Construction the contract for improvements to the clock plaza in downtown Fairhope.

This is the same company that is currently working on the Art Alley/Parking Garage project nearby. 

Selection of tree types to be used has not been finalized, according to public works director Johnson; construction should begin later this summer and be completed by fall.

New traffic signal booms and timed crosswalks will be installed as well (separate contract).

The clock itself will not be relocated; new pedestrian landings will be added all around it though. Two parking spaces on the corner will be eliminated.

A statue of founder of Fairhope. E.B.Gaston.
I don’t think that would be racist, wouldn’t have to worry about tearing it down.

FSTC would probably pay for this worth while donation. I’m sure

FYI: Gaston motors I believe was on that corner before it was called clock corner. So to put a sta5ue of E.B.Gaston makes sense.
EB came way before clock.
Think about it FST.

How about we not put 10 pounds of flour in a five -pound sack? It's a very small area.

Pavers, trees, grass, benches. Done.
