Decorative lighting will also be added.

Businesses near the avenue where work is planned include Portabello’s restaurant, the Foley Fish Market and Taco Fiesta Street Tacos. The gravel parking lot on the south side of East Verbena will still be available for use. Other parking areas near the site will also be available during construction.


The city also recently approved new sidewalks along Alabama 59 from the planned improvement site south to Commercial Bank.
