County-awarded Safe Routes to School grant of $3 million will fund sidewalks, lighting; timing depends on county contractors
Summary
Staff announced the district was awarded a $3,000,000 Safe Routes to School contract to fund sidewalks, lighting and crosswalks along the corridor; staff said the county will manage construction timing and the district lacks direct control over contractor scheduling.
Staff member (S2) announced the district was successful in obtaining a Safe Routes to School contract worth $3,000,000 to improve pedestrian infrastructure along the corridor near Highway 99.
S2 said the work will consider lighting, crosswalks and sidewalks and will extend as far south as feasible; the county is the contracting authority and will manage the work and contractor scheduling, so the district does not control the start date. Board members raised questions about whether both sides of a street would be redone and how existing parking would be affected; staff said project design will evaluate those constraints.
S2 thanked county partners for managing the grant and emphasized that additional details about scope and timing will be provided as the county and contractors schedule the work.
