Warrenton aldermen back MoDOT TAP grant application to design sidewalks along North State Highway 47
Summary
The Warrenton Board of Aldermen voted unanimously to adopt a resolution supporting a Missouri Department of Transportation Transportation Alternatives Program application to fund design work for sidewalks from I‑70 south to Veterans Memorial Parkway; the grant could cover up to 80% of design costs.
The Warrenton Board of Aldermen voted June 17 to adopt a resolution supporting a Transportation Alternatives Program application through the Missouri Department of Transportation for sidewalk design on North State Highway 47 from Interstate 70 south to Veterans Memorial Parkway.
City Administrator Brandy Walters said the requested grant would fund the design portion of the project and that, if awarded, “we can receive up to 80% of that cost.”
The resolution — read into the record as Resolution No. 345 — was approved on a roll call vote with five yes votes and one alderman absent. Aldermen voting yes were Alderman Crump, Alderman Quarter, Alderman Roemaker, Alderman Lang and Alderman Schultz.
Why it matters: the design work is the step required to make the project eligible for construction funding and to meet MoDOT requirements. Walters told the aldermen the city must submit the supporting resolution with the TAP application.
What the board decided: the aldermen approved the resolution supporting the TAP application; no additional conditions or direction to staff were recorded during the vote.
What was discussed: Walters described the project as the design phase for sidewalks from the southern part of I‑70 to Veterans Memorial Parkway and identified MoDOT as the administering agency. There were no public questions or objections recorded during the meeting on the item.
Next steps and context: Walters and staff will include the approved resolution with the city’s TAP application to MoDOT; the transcript does not state a timeline for MoDOT’s decision or the total estimated design cost.
The board’s roll call vote was recorded during the meeting and the resolution reading and approval were the primary official actions on the item.
