County joins multi-county SS4A grant application to target roadway safety improvements
Summary
The board approved participation in a five-county SS4A grant application (to be prepared by Kimberly Horn) that would target a highway stretch, K Road curves and an intersection at Eagle Corner; the county agreed to a $4,800 application fee and a prospective 80/20 federal match if awarded.
Humboldt County commissioners voted to join a five-county SS4A roadway-safety grant application that would study and potentially fund improvements including paved shoulders on a stretch from the bottom of Albertine Hill to Highway 3, curve work on K Road, and intersection improvements at Eagle Corner.
Speaker 9 explained that the application is due in June and that the SS4A program typically funds up to 80% of eligible work with a 20% local match. Participating counties listed in the discussion included Kasuth, Hancock, Franklin and Winnebago. The county's share of the application-writing fee is $4,800; commissioners approved paying that amount to participate.
If awarded, engineering and construction would likely be scheduled in the following spring and the county would add projects to its five-year plan. Speakers noted prior local crash history at the Eagle Corner intersection and recommended rumble strips, improved lighting and other low-cost safety remedies as likely study candidates.
