Mount Clemens wins $8,320 Safe Streets grant to develop downtown safety plan
Summary
City staff announced a $8,320 Safe Streets and Roads grant to fund a downtown comprehensive safety action plan, which will be used to support future infrastructure grant applications for downtown streets and pedestrian safety.
City Manager Greg Shipman told the commission that Mount Clemens will receive a $8,320 Safe Streets and Roads grant to develop a downtown comprehensive safety action plan.
The Downtown Comprehensive Safety Action Plan will be required to apply for subsequent infrastructure funding and will inform the city's fiscal year 2024 grant applications for pedestrian and street-safety improvements. Shipman credited Ashley Carpenter and her team for securing the funds.
The city manager also reviewed other routine seasonal items in his report, including holiday office closures, revised trash pickup schedules, curbside compost dates, and a reminder that dog licenses require proof of rabies vaccination.
Next steps: staff will use the grant funding to complete the downtown safety action plan and incorporate its recommendations into upcoming grant applications and budgeting discussions.
