Council approves moving forward with Safe Streets plan consultant selection
Summary
The council authorized staff to select and negotiate with Kimley‑Horn (recorded with spelling variations in the transcript) to develop a comprehensive Safe Streets and Roads for All plan covering signals, crossings and bike lanes citywide.
Staff told the council the city received the Safe Streets and Roads for All grant in 2024 and executed the contract earlier in the year; an RFQ drew eight responses and staff recommended Kimley‑Horn (recorded with spelling variations in the transcript) for the comprehensive safety plan. The scope described by staff included signal evaluations, pedestrian crossings and bike lane recommendations that would cover the whole city.
Councilman Baker moved to authorize the city manager to select and negotiate a contract with Kimley‑Horn and Associates; Councilman Seth seconded the motion and the council approved it by voice vote. On the scope, a staff member said: "They're gonna look at most of the signal, pedestrian crossing, bike lanes for safety reason...So it's gonna be the whole city." The council did not vote a contract amount; staff will proceed with negotiations.
