Foley is preparing to resurface about 10 streets in 2025 as part of its ongoing effort to maintain and improve road conditions.

Foley City Council approved seeking bids for the annual street resurfacing project. Jeff Phillips, Foley construction manager, said the final cost will depend on the bids received and the council's decisions, but it is expected to stay close to budget estimates.

"This is our annual resurfacing. It should be very close to budget," Phillips told council members. "Right now, we're just going to request permission to go to bid and we'll come back with appropriate funds."

Mayor Ralph Hellmich said city officials carefully evaluate the condition and usage of streets across Foley to determine which roads are prioritized for resurfacing.

"The streets are selected based on a grading system based on amount of use and condition," Hellmich said.

The proposed list includes Brookwood Circle, Dogwood Circle, Baldwin County 20 west from Hickory Street to Alabama 59, Baldwin County 24 from Alabama 59 to Juniper Street, Berry Avenue next to Alabama 59 including the connecting bicycle path, North Cedar Street from U.S. 98 to Fern Avenue, Parkwood Drive, Wedgewood Drive and South Cedar Street from U.S. 98 to Verbena Avenue.

An alternate project may include North Cedar Street from Peachtree Avenue to Baldwin County 24, if funding allows.
