SUMMARY STATEMENT:
The Idaho Transportation Department administers federal funding for transportation projects, including funding from the Federal Transit Administration (FTA). The City of McCall was
notified that there are funds remaining in FY14 in the FTA 5317 program. The City previously received $16,236 of FTA 5317 funding for the Third St. Corridor project.
The 5317 program funding is for projects that improve mobility for disabled persons. The proposed project is to connect an existing ADA sidewalk on Samson Trail with a new ADA sidewalk
along Park St. (See attached aerial map). The project would include the installation of four ADA curb ramps, and improve the crosswalks at the intersection of Third St. and Park St.
The Streets Department has LOT funds for sidewalk improvements, and $15,000 of that funding would be directed to the project. The City was awarded $47,000 in ITD ADA Curb ramp funding
to improve curb ramps on Third and Lake Streets, and the four identified curb ramps are included in that award. The FTA 5317 funding request would be $48,000. Funding awards will
be announced in April, 2014, and if funding is received, the project would be constructed in early summer, 2014.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve submission of a letter of request for FY14 FTA 5317 to the Idaho Transportation Department and authorize the Mayor to sign all necessary documents.
