The sweeps will be held on each Wednesday for five weeks, starting at 2 p.m starting June 29, July 6, and going July 13, July 20 and July 27 at the sites listed above. 

If the sweeps are not conducted in your neighborhood, or if you wish to speak with Animal Control, units will be available at the staging areas included below from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m.

Montgomery, AL (WSFA) - A new stop sign was installed this morning at the intersection of LeBron Road and Ponce de Leon Avenue in the Cloverdale-Idlewild community in Montgomery.

Since 2007 the Alabama State University’s campus has continued to undergo an extensive makeover, including infrastructure improvements, renovations, and new academic facilities. The construction is part of a five-phase, $600 million plan projected to be completed in 2035.

Construction workers continue to swarm the campus, working around the clock to finish the last of several first-phase projects.

Kippy Tate, vice president of Building and Grounds, said the University is on schedule to have the first phase completed in 2012.

“We’ve customized the Master Plan to suit the needs of present and future ASU students,” Tate said. “It is exciting to see where we’re heading.”

Several projects currently are underway at various locations across campus. Here is a quick look at some of them:
