Summary
The Cedar County Board of Supervisors on April 21 adopted a resolution endorsing an SS4A Implementation Grant application to fund safety improvements on County Road X40 (Garfield Avenue) from the Muscatine County line north to County Road F36 (250th Street), and directed the County Engineer to pursue available funding.
The Cedar County Board of Supervisors voted April 21 to endorse an application for a Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) Implementation Grant to fund safety improvements on County Road X40 (Garfield Avenue).
The resolution, moved by Supervisor Kaufmann and seconded by Supervisor Bixler, authorizes Chairperson Jon Bell to sign the application and directs the County Engineer to pursue available funding. The vote was recorded as unanimous (Ayes: All).
Under the resolution the board cited Section 24112(a)(2) of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and the U.S. Department of Transportation Notice of Funding Opportunity as the basis for seeking SS4A funds. The project described in the resolution covers Garfield Avenue from the Muscatine County line north to County Road F36 (250th Street). The board also affirmed that Cedar County will maintain any improvements within the county secondary roads system if the grant is awarded.
County officials did not announce funding amounts or a construction timeline at the meeting; the board’s action endorses the application and authorizes staff to pursue grant funding. The County Engineer is assigned to follow up on grant submittal and subsequent steps for implementation if funding is secured.
The resolution was adopted during the board’s regular session in Tipton; no public comment on the grant application was recorded.
