Dell Rapids adopts regional Safe Streets for All plan to boost grant eligibility
Summary
City council voted to adopt the CCOG-led Safe Streets for All regional safety action plan, a nonbinding resolution that makes Dell Rapids eligible to pursue state or federal grants for identified safety projects.
The Dell Rapids City Council voted to adopt the regional Safe Streets for All (SS4A) Regional Safety Action Plan and passed resolution 2026-618 to make the city eligible to apply for related grant funding.
A presenter described the plan as a regional tool prepared with the county council of governments and engineering partners, noting it "does not cost us anything" and "doesn't obligate us to anything" but makes the city eligible for grants to address identified safety needs. Residents raised concerns about past assessments not leading to action; the city responded that CCOG will help identify grants and the city will integrate recommendations into its capital-improvement projects when practical. Councilor Hanslick moved to adopt the plan; the motion carried by voice vote.
