The board authorized the exchange of properties between Hoover City Schools and the city of Hoover for the Patton Chapel Road Project, Phase III.
Charlie Beavers, a lawyer with the Hoover Board of Education, Jefferson County and Hoover, discussed the details of the agreement. The project is meant to improve Patton Chapel Road, and those improvements will affect Gwin and Simmons elementary schools.
To make this project happen, the school board will be receiving easements and rights of way in order to improve the road system. A traffic engineer reviewed all of the plans that have been developed and submitted to ALDOT.
Board member Stephen Presley praised the project.
“I’d like to say…please tell everyone at city hall thank you,” he said. “As a Bluff Park resident, and one that rides up and down that road, I’m excited about that change. I’m glad that it’s going to work out better for our schools as well.”
