The city and the Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT) are currently designing four sidewalk and crosswalk projects at Ross Bridge, Preserve Parkway, Chapel Road and Bluff Park.
At Ross Bridge Parkway, there will be almost a mile of new sidewalks on the west side of the road, running from Deer Trail Road to Deer Valley Elementary. There will also be five crosswalks, including one at the school.
Over a mile of new sidewalks will also be installed on Preserve Parkway from Sulphur Springs Road to the Preserve Town Center. On Chapel Road, another mile of sidewalks will line the south side of the street from Park Avenue to Matzek Drive. This project will require temporary and permanent easements from residents, which could delay construction.
In Bluff Park, a series of short sidewalks will be built on Valley Street, Tyler Road, Clearview Road, Clearview Drive, Savoy Street and Cloudland Drive. These walkways will also require easements in order to be built.
