Summary
The Green River City Council voted April 14 to commit up to $140,000 (40% match) to a UDOT Transportation Alternatives Program grant for curb, gutter, sidewalk and storm-drain work on Alberta Street, authorizing staff to finalize funding documentation and proceed to design.
The Green River City Council voted to commit up to $140,000 in local matching funds for a UDOT Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) grant to improve Alberta Street.
City staff told the council the project is estimated at about $342,000 and the grant paperwork was awaiting a city commitment of 40 percent of the cost. "They're looking at the project being about 342,000, so they're putting at 350. Our 40% of that would be $140,000," the staff member said during the presentation.
Council members said the project would pay for curb, gutter, sidewalk and storm-drain work and could include any asphalt finishing between curbs. Council discussion noted the project could improve pedestrian safety near schools and provide better stormwater handling; one council member emphasized tying improvements to school safety funding where possible.
The motion to approve a funding commitment capped at $140,000 passed on a roll call vote. Staff said the city would not pay the full match up front but would provide the match as the project billing and construction progress required; the design phase and final scope remain to be completed.
Next steps: staff will provide the required commitment letter to UDOT, proceed with design, and return to council with more detailed cost breakdowns before construction begins.
