SUMMARY STATEMENT:
The Idaho Department of Transportation (ITD) administers federal funding for transit projects. The City of McCall has a network of five transit bus shelters, which are located on the
route served by Mountain Community Transit (MCT). In consultation with MCT, additional locations have been recommended as potential shelter sites. Staff is working with MCT to determine
the ideal location, and will also determine feasibility of installing a new shelter at the preferred location. If funded, the project would be constructed in summer, 2015. The Parks
and Recreation Department provides maintenance for the existing shelters, and has agreed to accept responsibility for the new shelter, if it is funded.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve submission of a FY15 FTA 5311 application to the Idaho Department of Transportation for a new transit bus shelter and authorize the Mayor to sign all necessary documents.
