ROBERTSDALE, Alabama — The Robertsdale City Council took a pair of actions a specially called meeting on Monday, Jan. 11 in order to replace a bus utilized by the city-run George P. Thames Adult Activity Center.
While the center has been closed for public use sine March of 2020 due to COVID-19 restrictions, staff and volunteers continue to serve older adults in the Robertsdale-area providing meals and transportation services to residents.
Under its “Transit Vehicle Disposition Replacement Policy” the Alabama Department of Transportation provides for the replacement of transit vehicles that have “exceeded the useful life threshold for age.”
