City highlights $21 million RAISE-funded Civil Rights Crossroads project, schedules community studio June 10–14
Summary
Mayor Woodfin and staff promoted a federally funded Civil Rights Crossroads project that will add 3.16 miles of multimodal improvements; the city will host a community ‘studio week’ at Legion Field June 10–14 to gather public input.
The City of Birmingham is moving forward with the Civil Rights Crossroads — a federally funded multimodal improvement project — and will host a weeklong community studio at Legion Field June 10–14, Mayor Randall L. Woodfin said June 3.
Woodfin said the project is funded in part by a U.S. Department of Transportation RAISE grant of $21,000,000. He described the project as a 3.16-mile package of multimodal improvements including new trails, sidewalks, mobility hubs and culturally inspired public spaces intended to reconnect neighborhoods and recognize the city’s civil-rights legacy. The mayor encouraged residents, business owners, students and stakeholders from the Veil Rights District and adjacent neighborhoods — Smithfield, Graymont and Woodlawn were named — to attend the engagement sessions and complete the project survey at bhmcrossroads.com.
The city said the community studio will collect ideas to shape the project’s direction and that full project information is available at bhmcrossroads.com.
Ending: The administration positioned the studio week as a key public-engagement step for design decisions on streets, mobility hubs and cultural enhancements funded in part by the RAISE grant.
