Non-subscribers Designs for new Summerdale sidewalks nearing completion Posted By Jessica Vaughn SUMMERDALE - The Town of Summerdale was awarded a $400,000 tap grant from ALDOT in summer 2020. The tap grant program is to give municipalities the ability to provide transportation alternatives for connectivity. There’s an 80/20 match involved, and the town’s portion will be spread out over the next few years. The monies received are being put towards major sidewalk expansions throughout town. The engineer on the project, Alan Killen with Civil Southeast, said sidewalk designs are approximately 75% complete and all required environmental documents have been submitted to ALDOT.
