Dothan is making good on its promises to make the Highway 84 East Corridor and roads surrounding Southeast Health more pedestrian-friendly.
On Tuesday, city commissioners approved a $470,187 project that will add 5-foot and 10-foot sidewalk segments to lengthen the existing walking paths in front of the hospital and across the street. The project will add around 2,000 feet of sidewalk.A federal grant will pay for $376,159 of the project and the city will pay the remaining $94,037.
In 2018, the Highway 84 East Corridor Plan was released with a vision that incorporates the city government’s goals of addressing access and mobility, aesthetics, health and wellness, economics, and environment of the high-traffic route. In the last several years, the focus for Dothan has been to make the area more pedestrian-friendly, taking into account the growing student population at ACOM, expanding medical services, and residential development.
The Memorial Trail project underway in front of the city cemetery is part of the city’s plan to connect downtown to the Alabama College of Osteopathic Medicine via a series of mixed-use walking paths. Workers are currently constructing a meandering concrete trail near the roadway. The city is also looking at Poplar Springs Creek that runs alongside 84 East for opportunities for nature and biking trails.
