FCP Task E-5 Implement Complete Streets Policy when constructing new roads and upgrading
existing roads. With City Council, Traffic Committee, Public Works Department, Baldwin
County, ALDOT. Ongoing.
While most roads are predominately vehicle focused, the City has implemented non-vehicle
components such as sidewalks and bicycle markings on many roads. It is recommended that the City
continue this effort by implementing their Complete Streets Policy when constructing new roads and
upgrading existing roads.
FCP Task E-11 Implement traffic calming measures on subdivision roads through the use of
curves, roundabouts, and bicycle/pedestrian crossings. With Traffic Committee, Public Works
Department, Developers. Ongoing.
Subdivision Roads - As Fairhope continues to grow, it is important for the City to continue to
require that new subdivisions follow the design standards spelled out in the City’s Subdivision
Regulations. Public input indicated a strong desire for connectivity among neighborhoods and to other
parts of town. To accomplish this goal, future developments should continue to focus on providing
these connections. Sidewalks, bicycle lanes, and/or mixed-use paths should be incorporated for non-
motorized connectivity. It is also important to maintain safety by implementing traffic calming
measures in suburban roadway design through the use of curves, roundabouts, and bicycle/pedestrian
crossings.
FCP Task E-21 Construct missing links in bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure. With Public
Works Department, Baldwin County. Ongoing.
