Council authorizes seeking bids for Ponchatoula sidewalks; FTA grant will fund project
Summary
The council authorized seeking bids for pedestrian improvements (North 5th Street and East Beech Street) in Ponchatoula; President Miller said the project is funded by an FTA grant and requires no parish match.
The Tangipahoa Parish Council on Feb. 9 authorized staff to seek bids for the Ponchatoula Pedestrian Improvements project covering North 5th Street and East Beech Street sidewalk extensions. President Miller advised the project is funded by a Federal Transit Administration (FTA) grant and will not require a parish monetary contribution, though the grant application must be submitted through the parish.
Councilwoman Strader Cieutat moved to seek bids and Louis Joseph seconded; the motion was approved on roll call with eight Yeas and two absences (Havis, Vial). The item was presented as part of the Parish President’s report and advanced to procurement steps to allow the parish to apply for the FTA grant.
