Satsuma mayor: sidewalks project cleared by ALDOT; city coordinates lighting relocation with Alabama Power
Summary
Mayor Mark Barlow told the council the sidewalks project has been released by ALDOT and Civil Southeast is coordinating with Alabama Power to relocate lighting; the council expects a project update at the next meeting.
Mayor Mark Barlow told the City Council on Dec. 2 that the long-planned sidewalks project has been released by the Alabama Department of Transportation and that Civil Southeast is working with Alabama Power to move street lighting ahead of construction. Barlow said the council should receive a further update at the council’s next meeting.
The update signals an administrative milestone: state clearance from ALDOT is a prerequisite for permitting or construction that may involve right-of-way or utility coordination. Barlow’s report did not include a construction start date, a budget figure or a contractor timeline; he said only that the city expects another update at the next meeting.
The mayor also provided a series of community announcements: the Tree Lighting was canceled because of weather, the Municipal Dinner at Steele Creek Lodge was successful, the Water Board will meet next Monday at 5:30 p.m., the Key Students recognition has been moved to Jan. 20 and the Planning Board meeting was moved to Jan. 8, 2026. The minutes do not record debate or public comment on the sidewalks item.
