SUMMARY STATEMENT:
The Local Highway Technical Assistance Council (LHTAC) administers the Children Pedestrian Safety (CPS) grant program which was authorized as one-time funding of $2M statewide by Idaho
House Bill 308 in 2021. CPS grants provide up to a maximum of $250,000 to local jurisdictions for improvements to pathways adjacent to existing roadways. Awarded projects must be “shovel-ready”
and complete by December 2022. No local matching funds are required.
East Deinhard Lane between the 3rd St./SH55 intersection and Samson Trail is scheduled for resurfacing and reconstruction in 2022/23. The project will include realignment of a section
of the pedestrian pathway to create better separation from the roadway and construction of an ADA ramp to access the pathway near the Commerce Street intersection, thereby increasing
safety and accessibly for children and parents utilizing the pathway to go to/from the Middle and Elementary Schools. These pathway improvements are eligible for CPS grant funding and
fit within the timeline and criteria of the CPS grant program.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve submittal of a Children Pedestrian Safety Grant application for improvement to the E. Deinhard Lane pathway and authorize Mayor to sign all necessary documents.
