Phenix City council ratifies $375,000 Safe Streets demonstration grant application with $75,000 local match
Summary
The council ratified a resolution authorizing submission of a FY26 SS4A demonstration grant to address crash trends on specified corridors; the project cost is $375,000 with a required 20% local match not to exceed $75,000.
The Phenix City Council voted to ratify a resolution authorizing the mayor to sign and submit a fiscal year 2026 SS4A (Safe Streets and Roads for All) demonstration grant application to the U.S. Department of Transportation.
Councilmember Davis read the resolution language, saying the city would "submit a fiscal year 26 SS4a demonstration grant to address visibility, speed, and intersection related crash trends along Bridgehay Drive, Seal Road, and the intersection of Allen Road and Dodge Drive as outlined in the SAP." The total project cost was listed as $375,000; the city is required to provide a 20% local match not to exceed $75,000.
The resolution cites Phenix City's Safety Action Plan (SAP) as the project framework and directs the mayor to sign application documents. Council discussion on the record was brief; the council moved to approve the resolution as read and proceeded with the roll-call approval process recorded in the meeting minutes.
The grant application, if successful, would fund demonstration projects focused on intersection visibility and speed-management measures on the corridors named in the resolution. The city will be responsible for the local match and any ongoing maintenance obligations tied to grant-funded improvements.
