Blue Island sidewalk construction.

 

 FAIRWOOD TOO

An Eastern Shore MPO project to construct sidewalks on Blue Island Street (between Fairhope and Gayfer Avenues) and on nearby Fairwood Boulevard has begun. 

The one on Fairwood will be mostly in the median between Fairhope Ave. and Bayou Drive; Blue Island's will be on the west side of the street.

Total cost will be about $1 million, with $800K coming from the FY 2023 federal Transportation Alternative Program (TAP) with the required 20% match of $200K from the city.

Preliminary engineering for $83K provided by the city too.

Progress so far is extremely slow. At this rate, it will take 2-3 months to complete Blue Island. Maybe that was the expectation...

Traveling on BI today, concrete truck has lanes blocked. No one there to say if it will be 2 or 20 minutes. Very unprofessional. Get someone out there to communicate!
