Summary

Staff recommended applying for $728,743 from DCED's Multimodal Transportation Fund to help fund an estimated $2 million replacement of the Glenside Avenue culvert; Bowman expects design complete in early 2027 so construction could follow if funding is secured.

Staff presented a request to submit a DCED Multimodal Transportation Fund grant application for $728,743 toward replacing the Glenside Avenue culvert. A Bowman representative explained prior grants covered design phases and that full construction costs were estimated at roughly $2,000,000. The firm anticipates design completion in early 2027 and said a timely award would align with the construction schedule.

Commissioners asked about the grant timeline and the project schedule; staff said DCED announcements typically occur early next year and that the current application would help offset construction costs. The committee voted to recommend submission of the grant application to the board.
