Stowe Council adopts updated Safe Routes to School plan to qualify for ODOT funding
Summary
Council approved a resolution adopting the city to restore eligibility for state Safe Routes to School grants; plan prioritizes sidewalks and crossings near Fish Creek and Graham roads and outlines noninfrastructure education steps.
The City of Stowe Council voted on Oct. 9 to adopt an updated Safe Routes to School travel plan required by the Ohio Department of Transportation to apply for infrastructure and noninfrastructure grants.
The plan, presented by Planning Director William Cowan, updates a 2010 document and maps high-priority sidewalk, crossing and education needs within two miles of the city schools. Cowan told council the ODOT program reimburses up to 100% of eligible infrastructure costs (engineering, design, construction, right-of-way) up to $1 million per project and up to $60,000 (or $120,000 for two-year projects) for education and encouragement activities.
