DISCUSSION
On January 2, 2007 staff submitted six Safe Routes to School (SRTS) grant
applications and on April 5, 2007 staff submitted nine Highway Safety
Improvement Program (HSIP) grant applications for the design and
construction of traffic safety improvements such as traffic signals and
left-turn arrows.
The City received approval of five SRTS and two HSIP grants totaling
$2,585,449. The locations and their respective improvements are listed in
Exhibit 1. The five SRTS grants are 100% grant funded. The HSIP grants
require 10% City matching funds in the amount of $66,300. Installation of
all these improvements is expected in summer 2008.
Staff recommends these grant funds be accepted and appropriated so that
these needed safety improvements can be completed.
