阿拉巴马州李县拟建200万美元环岛改善博勒加德学区交通
阿拉巴马州李县委员会在11月12日的会议上批准申请州政府资金，在博勒加德地区修建一座环岛，以改善当地学校周边的交通安全。拟建环岛位于阿拉巴马州51号公路与李县146号公路（又称穆尔米尔路）交汇处，紧邻博勒加德高中和博勒加德小学，现为四向停车路口。县工程师贾斯廷·哈迪向委员会介绍了方案，单车道环岛将取代现有四向停车设置，旨在理顺车流、减少事故隐患。县里将通过阿拉巴马州交通修复与改善计划第二期申请最高额度200万美元拨款，其余约99.8万美元由地方资金承担，申请截止日期为11月13日，资助决定预计明年初公布。该计划专门资助县道、市道与州管公路交叉口的改善工程，重点是公共安全。同一场会议上，委员会还致函支持东阿拉巴马医疗中心申请建设并运营史密斯站独立急诊部的证书需求，认为新急诊设施将提升当地居民就医可及性。委员会同时批准了李县158号公路开发项目的初步规划。
Alabama's Lee County to Seek $2 Million for Roundabout to Improve Traffic Near Beauregard Schools
The Lee County Commission in Alabama voted at its November 12 meeting to apply for state funding to build a roundabout in the Beauregard community to improve traffic safety around local schools. The proposed roundabout would be located at the intersection of Alabama State Route 51 and Lee County Road 146, also known as Moore's Mill Road, next to Beauregard High School and Beauregard Elementary School, where there is currently a four-way stop. County Engineer Justin Hardy presented the plan to the commission: a single-lane roundabout would replace the existing four-way stop, smoothing traffic flow and reducing crash risks.
The county will apply through the second phase of the Alabama Transportation Rehabilitation and Improvement Program for a grant of up to $2 million, with the remaining roughly $998,000 to be covered by local funds. The application deadline is November 13, and funding decisions are expected early next year. The program funds improvements at intersections of county and city roads with state-managed highways, with a focus on public safety. At the same meeting, the commission also wrote in support of East Alabama Medical Center's certificate-of-need application to build and operate a freestanding emergency department in Smiths Station, saying the new facility would improve residents' access to care. The commission also approved preliminary plans for the Lee County Road 158 development project.
