Board backs Safer Routes to Schools re-application and supports Chipley's TA grant
Summary
Washington County approved reapplying for a Safer Routes to Schools grant for sidewalks and authorized a resolution to support the City of Chipley's Transportation Alternatives application to avoid duplicate applications for the same project area.
Public-works staff asked the board to authorize reapplying for a Federal Highway Administration Safer Routes to Schools grant to construct sidewalks that would close gaps near Westbourne and nearby school facilities. "We'd like to... redo that application," said Mister Melvin, noting sidewalk connections behind local campuses and planned renovations that make the corridor a priority.
Melvin also requested the commission adopt a resolution supporting the City of Chipley's Transportation Alternatives (TA) application for overlapping segments to avoid competing applications for the same scope. Commissioners approved a combined motion to apply for the Safer Routes grant and to adopt a resolution to coordinate with Chipley, voting unanimously to proceed.
