At its May 7, 2024 meeting, Council approved the application to the US DoT SS4A grant. The SS4A grant is providing funding to prepare a Comprehensive Safety Action Plan aimed at reducing and eliminating serious injury and fatal crashes affecting all roadway users. The goal of preparing this plan is to be proactive in reviewing the City’s transportation system to identify roadway safety problems and preparing strategies aimed at improving safety that could be implemented in future projects. | | |

A 20% local match is required, and an application has been made to MnDOT for the IIJA Discretionary Match Program to provide the City’s required match. If IIJA funds are not obtained, the City’s match will be paid from the Engineering Department Operating Fund. | | |
