Baldwin County, Ala. – (OBA) – In 2025, Baldwin County residents can expect more sidewalk improvements, thanks to grant money focused on making the area more pedestrian-friendly. We have written extensively about the new sidewalks coming to the City of Foley. The Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT) has approved funding to expand walkways in several other communities as well. 

These upgrades are part of the federal Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP), which supports non-motorized transportation projects like sidewalks, trails, and bike lanes.

Here’s a breakdown of the latest sidewalk improvements coming to Baldwin County communities:

• Foley: $800,000 awarded for sidewalk improvements along SR-59, stretching from Azalea Avenue to Pride Boulevard.
• Daphne: $800,000 in federal funds awarded for new sidewalks along Pollard Road and Park Drive.
• Robertsdale: $800,000 for sidewalk upgrades along Buck Road, Wilters Street, College Avenue, and US-90.
• Elberta: $669,380 awarded for sidewalk improvements throughout various sections of the city.

These grants represent a significant step toward safer and more accessible transportation options in Baldwin County. With work expected to begin next year, residents can look forward to enjoying improved walkways and biking paths around Baldwin County.

Further north, cities around Grove Hill will also benefit from the TAP grants

Thanks to the 2021 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), funding for these important projects will continue through 2026.
