Milan council authorizes application for Transportation Alternatives grant to fund crosswalk, park pathways and ADA work
Summary
On June 20, 2023, the Milan City Council approved Resolution 2023‑11 to seek Transportation Alternatives Program funding to repair the Wabash crosswalk, fix pathways at Wilson Park, install a Senior Center path and complete ADA improvements; council also committed to a maintenance program for the projects.
The Milan City Council on June 20 voted to approve Resolution 2023‑11, authorizing the city to apply for Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) grant funding to pay for a Wabash Street crosswalk, pathway repairs at Wilson Park, installation of a Senior Center path and related Americans with Disabilities Act improvements.
Councilmember Nie moved to approve the resolution and Pro‑Tem Kerkes seconded; the motion carried. The resolution designates a city agent to submit the grant request, attests that the city has or will secure any required matching funds and commits the City of Milan to implementing an ongoing maintenance program for the completed improvements.
The council did not record extended debate on the item in the minutes; the action was taken as a formal motion and approval. If awarded, the TAP funds would cover pedestrian and multi‑use project elements listed in the resolution and require the city to meet the program’s maintenance and reporting obligations.
Staff next steps include preparing and submitting the application and documenting the local match and maintenance plan. The council’s next regular meeting is July 5, 2023.
