City Council - Apr 28, 2026
A cooperative maintenance agreement with the state for major corridors — McFarland Boulevard, Skyland Boulevard, AL 13, Highway 69 and I-359 — was on the agenda.
Public Projects Committee - Apr 21, 2026
The city spends nearly a million dollars keeping state highway corridors like Skyland and 15th Street looking sharp, but ALDOT only reimburses $61,200. The city keeps doing it because two cuts a year wouldn't meet Tuscaloosa's standards.
Finance Committee - Apr 21, 2026
The city plans to spend up to $61,240 in contingency funds to maintain public rights-of-way under a reimbursable agreement with the Alabama Department of Transportation.
