BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Background: Conveying portions of the Baldwin Beach Express (BBE), Foley Beach Express (FBE), Roscoe Road and County Road 4 to the Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT) and assigning certain obligations with respect to the County’s part of the FBE under the TriParty Agreement, the Mutual Assignment, and the Access Management Plan to ALDOT would result in substantial cost savings to the County and reduce the administrative burdens of the County with respect to the roads.
