Thanks to a one-million-dollar GOMESA grant, Fairhope will be moving forward with nature trails, trailheads, parking, remote restrooms and other amenities.
Veteran’s Drive splits the property in half with the south side already being used by a local mountain biking club. City officials said the GOMESA grant will also pay for the two pieces of property to be linked together.
“We’re doing it via a pedestrian tunnel so that those who want to get from one piece…one part of the property to the other will not have to cross a grade, an active road, which is a good safety thing and it’s a good aesthetic thing because the streetscape will not be altered,” Johnson explained. Bids for the work should go out by the end of the summer. The Triangle Park steering committee will look at comments submitted by elected officials and other stakeholders. It will then make recommendations for any changes.“I think it’s great to start bringing everything back, you know,” said John Murfin.
Phase one of the park should be finished and accessible by this time next year. Meanwhile, the city will search for other funding sources for future improvements, including the old Dyas home which will likely be used as an educational facility.
