Naming portions of Alabama state routes 5, 69, 195, and 257, as well as Industrial Parkway, in Walker County, Alabama, as the Smith Lake Parkway

AI Summary

This resolution, passed by both houses of the Alabama Legislature, encourages the Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT) to designate a specific route in Walker County as the "Smith Lake Parkway" and to install appropriate signage. This designation is in recognition of the significant role Smith Lake plays in the local tourism economy, attracting visitors for recreational activities and supporting related businesses. The proposed parkway would begin at Exit 65 on Interstate 22 (also known as Industrial Parkway), follow portions of State Routes (SR) 5, 69, 195, and 257, and end at the border between Walker and Winston Counties, connecting to an existing parkway. The resolution emphasizes the importance of showcasing Smith Lake to potential visitors through prominent signage and highlights the economic benefits of tourism to Walker County.
