The City of Foley, Alabama, has long been a destination cherished for its charm and accessibility. However, one major roadway is in urgent need of improvement: County Road 12, stretching from the Foley Beach Express to State Highway 59. This stretch of road has witnessed significant increases in traffic due to population growth and rising tourism, but unfortunately, its infrastructure has not kept pace.

Traffic congestion, coupled with the absence of a dedicated center turning lane, has been a persistent challenge for drivers. It not only heightens the risk of accidents but also contributes to extended travel times and vehicle emissions. According to the Alabama Department of Transportation, roads like County Road 12 are becoming bottlenecked, especially during peak hours, impacting local residents, tourists, and businesses alike.

Expanding County Road 12 to include a center turning lane would alleviate many of these issues. It would improve traffic flow, enhance safety by reducing collision points, and support economic growth by facilitating easy and quick access to local businesses. Implementation of this change aligns with Foley’s commitment to fostering a safer and more efficient transportation network.

We urge the Foley City Council and relevant transportation authorities to consider this necessary upgrade to County Road 12 as a priority infrastructure project. By doing so, they would be taking a significant step towards supporting the safety, convenience, and economic vitality of their community.
