The Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT) has awarded  $21.6 million in Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) cities throughout the state for on-road and off-road improvements. 

“For a growing number of Alabamians who walk or use bicycles for health and recreation or to travel to work or school, the safety of their travel routes is an important concern,” Gov. Kay Ivey said. “Therefore, I am pleased to join ALDOT in announcing this significant grant to build and enhance sidewalks and walking spaces in more than 30 communities, large and small, spanning the length of our state.”

Communities in the Black Belt to benefit are: 

Aliceville - Downtown streetscape improvements along 3rd Avenue NW

Centreville - Sidewalk improvements along various streets

Pike Road - Sidewalk along Vaughn Road and Pike Road

Thomasville - Sidewalks along Old Highway 5 and Martin Luther King Jr. Street
