The resolution requests that the Alabama Department of Transportation designate a section of Alabama State Route 257, specifically from the border of Walker County to the end of Route 257, as the Arley - Smith Lake Parkway. This designation is proposed in recognition of the route's significance to the tourism economy of Winston County, particularly as it provides access to Arley, Alabama, which serves as a gateway to the popular Smith Lake destination. The area is known for its natural beauty and recreational opportunities, attracting visitors for activities such as boating and fishing, which in turn supports local businesses and services.

The resolution emphasizes the importance of tourism to Winston County's economy and encourages the Department of Transportation to collaborate with local officials to implement this naming. It also calls for the installation of appropriate signage to acknowledge the new designation, aligning with relevant laws and requirements. This initiative aims to enhance the visibility of the route and promote the region's attractions to both tourists and residents.
