White Avenue Park Makeover Authorized

Posted by Publisher on

Fairhope, Alabama 

 

 


 

New plan.

 

The city council awarded low-bidder Blade Construction the contract for improvements to the White Avenue Park on S. Mobile Street, for $119K. 

Asphalt pavement is to be removed and replaced with pavers, drainage improved, landscaping added as well as ADA compliant sidewalks.

The park has been the subject of controversy with neighbors regarding property lines/public access for many years, with at least one lawsuit.



Current conditions.

I wonder which neighbor was causing an issue with property lines?

Is the adjacent pier a part of this park?

I’m glad the City regained control of this area for public use as it was designated. The Park also connects south via a concrete path in front of the houses to the end of Nichols Avenue. There are two park benches there overlooking the bay that are designated for public use but big bushes were planted in front of them so most of the public doesn't know they exist.

Looking at the GIS map, it appears one of the homes next to the public park built part of their house on public property

I understand that very litigious people live there which is why the house is non-conforming to normal guidelines.

If the pier is a part of the park and maintained by the city, what does one do when confronted for using it and the parking area?
