Council reallocates $26,542.51 in UDAG funds to bike‑lane project and files for ~$800,000 multimodal grant
Summary
City staff told council $26,542.51 of residual UDAG funds will be applied to a CDBG‑funded bike‑lane project; council also authorized filing for a Commonwealth multimodal transportation grant of about $800,000 for phase 2 of a street enhancement. Both measures passed unanimously.
City staff asked council to reallocate $26,542.51 in residual UDAG funds to a CDBG‑funded bike‑lane project. Staff explained the UDAG program dates to the late 1970s, the balance is a remnant from prior resolutions, and the low bid for the bike‑lane project matches the available balance. "There are $26,542.51 remaining," staff said, and council voted to reallocate the funds to the bike‑lane project.
In a separate item, staff presented a resolution to file for a multimodal transportation fund grant from the Commonwealth Financing Authority for phase 2 of a multi‑phase enhancement project, describing the funding request at just under $800,000 and asking the council to designate the mayor and a staff member to execute the grant documents. Council approved filing the application and the delegation of authority, also by unanimous vote.
