NO FUNDING YET THOUGH
Four-laning of CR 13 north of Fairhope is one of the road capacity improvement projects being planned to keep up with projected area growth on the visionary list of the new (year) 2050 transportation plan, set to be adopted by the ESMPO during its upcoming Oct 31 quarterly meeting.
Such projects are projected to become necessary, but lack a funding source so far; the LRTP is updated every 5 years.
From the LRTP: "A Visionary project is a regionally significant transportation improvement identified
as necessary in the Long-Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) but lacks a committed
funding source. These projects often have significant price tags, and they typically do
not rank high enough in the MPO’s scoring process to be included in the financially
constrained portion of the plan. The MPO must reasonably expect to receive enough
funding to complete the projects listed in the plan. Unfunded projects exist outside
of this constrained plan a “wish list” of needs. The unfunded list of projects (Table 3-9)
documents the region’s total transportation needs, beyond what is fiscally possible.
This list to demonstrate the ongoing demand for infrastructure and provide a pool of
potential projects for future consideration. If a new funding source becomes available
or a project’s score improves, it can be moved from the unfunded list into the fiscally
constrained LRTP...."
