FOLEY – The Foley council made quick work of the Monday, Dec. 18 meeting, with one of the biggest discussion topics being to speed up the improvements to South Pine Street due to a proposal from The Burton Group.
“We have a proposal from The Burton Group to help us move this project up on our priorities,” said city engineer Chad Christian. “They’re offering to provide $300,000 in-kind and cash to the construction of that project, asking the council appropriate $300,000 for a total of $600,000 for construction.”
The location in question is on South Pine Street between Pride Drive and County Road 20. The improvements would consist of the construction of a drainage ditch along the east side of South Pine in order to alleviate drainage issues.
“The water backs up and flows onto the YMCA property, the school, and the adjacent private property before it gets where it’s going to,” said Christian.
Once construction of the ditch is complete, it will help take water off the west side of South Pine, which will put the water going straight south.
