The project descriptions include estimated costs (Exhibit 2) and the general locations of the projects shown in the project location map (Exhibit 3). The proposed projects will provide needed bicycle infrastructure, including protected bike lanes. These projects will improve traffic safety, encourage active transportation, and increase mobility. Although the application deadline is November 15, 2018, the grant program guidelines allow the authorized resolution to be submitted after the application deadline. 55C-1 Resolution Authorizing Grant Applications Bicycle Corridor Improvement Program December 4, 2018 Page 2 STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT Approval of this item supports the City's efforts to meet Goal #1 — Community Safety, Objective #3 (promote fiscal accountability to ensure financial responsibility at all levels of the organization), Strategy B (promote ongoing efforts to obtain grant funding for activities that will assist in preventing, enforcing and reducing criminal activity and traffic collisions).
