| Quote: | Land deal made for Bayfront Park
But agreement doesn't include Arlington Point
Wednesday, December 19, 2007By KAIJA WILKINSON and BEN RAINESStaff Reporters
The Alabama State Port Authority plans a public park by late 2008 or early 2009 on more than 20 acres
just east of Brookley Industrial Complex on Mobile Bay, part of 46 acres it agreed Tuesday to buy for $1.3 million from the Mobile Airport Authority.
But the park does not include a key element of the plan the Port Authority discussed as early as 2003 -- inclusion of Arlington Point.
That 15-acre, man-made spit of land juts into the bay between Brookley and the McDuffie Coal Terminal.
"I would love to see Arlington Point itself eventually incorporated, but we're not there right now," said Jimmy Lyons, who runs the state docks.
Lyons said the park will have a boardwalk winding through wetlands, and could eventually include walking trails, gazebos, kayak launches and a parking area.
Plans for a pier included in the park plan developed by Spectrum & Associates are uncertain, he said.
