Villa Rica schedules transportation open house July 17 for $400,000 Safe Streets for All grant plan and public survey
Summary
City staff announced an open house July 17 at the Villa Rica Library to discuss the Villa Rica Safety Action Plan funded by a $400,000 Safe Streets for All grant (80% reimbursable); staff urged residents to take an online survey and review materials on the project website.
City staff announced a transportation open house for July 17 at 6 p.m. at the Villa Rica Library, 869 Dallas Highway, to present the Villa Rica Safety Action Plan funded by a Safe Streets for All grant.
Miss Hallman and staff said the city received a $400,000 Safe Streets for All grant and must provide an $80,000 local match; the grant is reimbursable so the city will spend funds and then request 80% reimbursement from the grant. Staff said the open house will present crash and safety data, the planning steps, and a public survey available via a QR code and on the city website.
Miss Hallman described the open house as part of the first steps to develop strategies to reduce fatal and serious injuries while promoting a safer, more efficient transportation network. She urged residents to view the online materials and complete the survey so consultants can incorporate public input into the plan.
Staff said meeting materials and handouts will be posted on the city website and that the survey results will be used to inform the consultants’ analysis. No action was required at the work session; the open house is scheduled for July 17 at the Villa Rica Library.
