Tricky Volanta Intersection Fix Sought Again

Fairhope, Alabama 

  

Traffic signal needed?


VOLANTA AVENUE AT GREENO ROAD 

For the third straight year, the city has applied for a state ATRIP II grant to re-design and install a traffic signal at the busy intersection of Volanta Avenue and Greeno Road.

Owners of the new Reserve at Fairhope senior community which is about to open have already agreed to contribute to a fix -- along with the city and state (hopefully); cost could be around $1 million.

If the grant is denied again, something else may have to be done there instead to enhance safety, according to the mayor. 

Currently, a small concrete median makes tuning left from Volanta problematic.

Just close it off

Closing it off will push traffic on to neighborhood streets, already overloaded from a lack of east/west corridors.
Sure hope they come up with a solution before someone gets hurt trying to cross on to Greeno.

Yes, please more traffic lights on 98…said no one ever. If you don't feel safe, use a different road or go down to the light.
