ALDOT reviews designs; Owens Cross Roads hopes to bid Wilson Avenue sidewalk in May
Summary
Staff told the council ALDOT has reviewed two rounds of sidewalk drawings and is conducting environmental review; the city plans a 5-foot sidewalk with a base bid from Baker's Hardware to the Owens Cross Roads school driveway and an additive alternate to attach to the existing school sidewalk, with bidding targeted for May.
City staff reported that the Wilson Avenue sidewalk project has passed two rounds of review by the Alabama Department of Transportation, and ALDOT has provided minor comments. Staff said environmental-review paperwork with ALDOT is in progress and the project could be advertised for bids in the May time frame.
The design calls for replacing existing driveways with new concrete to the far edge of the new sidewalk and installing a 5-foot-wide sidewalk for the project length. Staff described a base bid to construct sidewalk from Baker's Hardware east to the driveway at the Owens Cross Roads school; an additive alternate would extend sidewalk west from the school driveway to tie into existing sidewalk in front of the school.
The council received the update as information; no formal action or vote on the sidewalk item was recorded at this meeting.
