CITY OF LEEDS PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT

CITY OF LEEDS Receives Apple Study Recommending Bridge Replacement

City of Leeds Receives Apple Study Recommending Bridge Replacement - The City of Leeds has received the Apple Study (paid for by a grant from the Regional Planning Commission of Greater Birmingham), which recommends replacing the Lane Drive Bridge over the Little Cahaba River. The current bridge, which has surpassed its original design life and is experiencing structural deterioration and often floods during heavy rains, is a vital connection for residents, businesses, and emergency services. The study outlines options to improve safety, reduce flooding, and extend the bridge’s service life. Two replacement designs are under review, with estimated costs ranging from $1.94 million to $2.35 million. The City will seek funding partnerships to help cover costs and minimize the burden on local taxpayers. This investment aims to ensure a safer, more reliable crossing for years. The city plans to conduct a council work session with the consulting engineer in September to inform the council and the public about the plan. We will provide meeting information as it becomes available. View it on website at https://leedsalabama.gov

We Love Leeds Day

A message from our Executive Director, Kristy Biddle:
What an incredible We Love Leeds Day! 💚 From the 5K and vendor market to the kids’ zone, live music, community pep rally, and after party, the entire day was overflowing with joy and hometown pride. This event would not have happened without an amazing team of people. Thank you to our Promotion Committee Chair Jennie Kruse, whose vision for this event brought it to life, and to Maegan Dockery, Marketing Director for Leeds Main Street, who somehow keeps all of my thoughts and ideas organized, which is no small task. We are also so grateful for our incredible volunteers who showed up selflessly and gave their time and energy to make sure every detail came together. Thank you, Jacob Meyer, John Berry Biddle, Tracy Brasher, Lisa and John O’Neil, Hayden Bell, Darlene Negrotto, Neva Reardon, Tiffiany Ward, David Dockery, and Amber Yeackle. Special thanks go to Eric Watters for handling the music acts, Jesse and Miriam Turner for bringing the pep rally to life, Jeff Thomas for having runners sign up for the 5K and bringing a cooler, and Judith and Buddy Jones for going above and beyond to make the after-party a success. Lastly, thank you again to each of our sponsors who helped make this day possible! Leeds is blessed with the best people who love their community and make things happen. This is what it looks like when a town comes together, and this is exactly why we love Leeds. 💚 Leeds Main Street

This Week's Recipe

Chef John's Drunken Noodles

allrecipes.com

I did have a drink or three while making these drunken noodles, so I could enjoy them as the food gods intended, which is slightly drunk. At least that's the main theory on how this "pad kee mao" dish got its name. It is one of the easiest and most delicious noodle recipes I know. Serve garnished with Thai basil.
