Widened, landscaped sidewalks and public parking are already in place for two blocks in each direction under phase one. Phase two will extend these same improvements all the way to East 3rd Street and from the Beach Highway, north to East 2nd Avenue.
“What we looked at was the main intersection of Beach Boulevard and Highway 59 and let’s go east and west of that intersection and start to connect all of the sidewalk infrastructure that’s along Highway 59 to the neighborhoods and businesses along 1st Avenue and 2nd Avenue both east and west,” explained Gulf Shores City Engineer, Mark Acreman.
The cost of the design is $337,000 and should be completed by March. City official hope visitor to the area will be encouraged to walk to the attractions. Acreman hopes the improvements will encourage folks to park and walk to destination such the beach, shops and restaurants. And the changes they’re making will make it much safer to do so. Jan Baar of Michigan was pleased with the improvements she’d already seen with phase one.
