Staff: Southfield to apply for DIA 'Inside/Out' art program and $152,100 county transit grant
Summary
Planning staff told the commission Southfield will apply to the DIA Inside/Out public‑art program and seek an Oakland County Access to Transit grant (~$152,100) to improve bus stops; staff said these would raise accessible stops to about 70% of the city.
Planning staff briefed the commission on recent City Council decisions and grant opportunities, saying the city was authorized to apply to the DIA Inside/Out public‑art program and will apply for an Oakland County Access to Transit grant to upgrade bus stops. Staff said the city will seek about $152,100 in grant funds and that the objective is to bring easily improved bus stops up to roughly 70% accessibility across the city.
The planner noted the county announced another round of funding from the transit millage and that Southfield is preparing an application to continue previous bus‑stop improvements. Staff also updated the commission on other council items — including continued review of Northland phasing and a postponed Kroger fuel station item — and said project tracking materials are being developed to give council and the commission better status visibility on key land‑use approvals.
