Commission authorizes RFQ for Safe Streets for All consultant to study high-crash locations
Summary
Saint Clair County commissioners approved issuing an RFQ to find a consultant to plan and design Safe Streets for All projects that would identify high-crash locations and propose countermeasures, including up to 10 demonstration projects across county and municipal roads.
The commission voted to send out a request for qualifications for a consultant to support a Safe Streets for All grant application and planning effort. The consultant will perform a countywide safety review, identify high-crash locations, and recommend countermeasures and demonstration projects; the county expects the plans to cover county and municipal roads but not state-maintained roads.
Engineer staff described the RFQ’s scope as a comprehensive safety plan for Saint Clair County, noting the consultant could propose demonstration countermeasures—temporary installations such as bollards or pilot treatments—to test possible larger projects. Commissioners agreed to include municipal roads where crash frequency justified it and to bring the RFQ back for next steps as proposals are submitted.
