Deuel County approves initial letter of intent for Transportation Alternatives trail project
Summary
The county OK'd advancing a Transportation Alternatives grant concept and approved an initial letter of intent for a pedestrian/non-motorized trail project; Banner Associates will proceed with boundary work and public outreach for a grant that can fund up to 81.95% or $600,000.
Waylon Blasius of Banner Associates told the Deuel County Commissioners that the Transportation Alternatives program can fund off-road, non-motorized trails to improve pedestrian safety. Blasius said the project would require a formal boundary study and public outreach, and that the program can fund up to 81.95% or a maximum of $600,000.
The board voted unanimously to approve an initial letter of intent and to move the project forward on a motion by Commissioner Harry Mewherter, seconded by Commissioner Judith Homan. Blasius said the trail alignment will mostly lie within rights-of-way but could require easements.
The decision authorizes staff to begin preliminary steps—boundary and outreach work—needed for a full Transportation Alternatives grant application. Details on project route, estimated total cost, and any required local match were not specified at the meeting.
