Hagood Street Sidewalk Project Approved By Mountain Brook Council

MOUNTAIN BROOK, AL - A section of Crestline will become more walkable next spring, after the Mountain Brook City Council approved a project that would put sidewalks along Hagood Street off Euclid Avenue. The project was approved last week.

The council authorized three agreements related to the Hagood Street Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) sidewalk project, according to a Village Living report. One is a cost-sharing agreement between Mountain Brook and Birmingham; the second is a construction agreement between Mountain Brook and the Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT); and the third is a professional services agreement between Mountain Brook and Sain Associates, which will provide engineering services.

The project includes the construction of a 5-foot-wide sidewalk stretching about 4,000 linear feet from Euclid Avenue to Montclair Road. The estimated project cost is $800,000, but Mountain Brook will only be responsible for a fraction of that, as federal grants will cover about $650,000, and local funds will cover up to $160,000.

Mountain Brook City Manager Sam Gaston said that construction could start as early as next spring.
