Commission authorizes RFQ for Safe Streets for All consultant to plan county safety projects
Summary
Saint Clair County commissioners approved issuing an RFQ to hire a consultant to prepare a Safe Streets for All plan that will identify high-crash locations in county and municipal roads and recommend demonstration countermeasures for grant application.
The commission authorized sending out a request for qualifications to hire a consultant to develop planning and design work for a Safe Streets for All grant application. The consultant’s scope will include producing a comprehensive safety plan for Saint Clair County, identifying high-crash locations (including municipal roads), and recommending up to 10 demonstration projects to test countermeasures.
‘‘It’s to come up with a comprehensive safety plan for Saint Clair County ... the consultant would look at all the high-crash locations in the county, and they'll come up with recommendations for the countermeasures to try to reduce the amount of crashes in the county,’’ County Engineer Clay Phillips said. Commissioners discussed that demonstration projects could be temporary countermeasures — for example, bollards or other smaller interventions — and confirmed the program will not cover state-maintained roads but may include municipal roads under cooperative agreements.
Commissioners voted to approve issuing the RFQ and pursue the grant application; staff will return with consulting proposals and recommended demonstration sites.
