Winter Haven to use SS4A grant to develop transportation safety action plan; city match required
Summary
The city received an $184,000 SS4A grant and staff recommended Kimley‑Horn for development of a transportation safety action plan at a total cost of $230,000, with a $46,000 local match to be funded from the streets division operating budget.
Winter Haven staff told the commission the city was awarded a U.S. Department of Transportation Safe Streets for All (SS4A) grant of $184,000 to develop a transportation safety action plan and is proposing to contract Kimley‑Horn to prepare the required plan.
Brittany Hart said the plan will identify high‑risk corridors, analyze crash data, gather public input through workshops and an online portal, and produce prioritized safety‑improvement recommendations with estimated costs. The total project cost is $230,000; the federal share is up to $184,000 with a required local match of $46,000 to be funded from the streets division operating budget.
Staff estimated the plan will take about 18 months from notice to proceed and anticipated a final adoption in late 2027, with an SS4A grant requirement that a completed plan be published to the city website by July 31, 2028. The staff recommendation in the transcript was to approve the consulting agreement and issue a purchase order for $230,000.
