Committee hears TSP grant update; staff says ODOT contact is reviewing
Summary
Staff reported a Transportation System Plan (TSP) grant is "in writing" and that the town is coordinating with a regional ODOT contact; the committee discussed likely uses (crosswalks, trees, streetscape) and timing for accessing the funds.
Staff updated the committee that the town has a Transportation System Plan (TSP) grant in writing and is awaiting follow-up from a regional ODOT contact, Brandon Williams. Committee members clarified acronyms — TSP (Transportation System Plan) and TGM (Transportation Growth Management) — and discussed that the grant would most likely fund a consultant to prepare a transportation plan (examples mentioned: crosswalks, sidewalks, trees, downtown streetscape).
Staff estimated the earliest realistic timeline to access consultant work is January–February, subject to ODOT scheduling and federal pass-through constraints. Members noted that ODOT sometimes provides additional project-specific funding or matching assistance, and suggested outreach to local business organizations for possible matching funds or technical assistance. No dollar amounts were provided in the meeting; the grant amount was described as "in writing" but not read into the record.
