SUMMARY STATEMENT:
The Local Highway Technical Assistance Council (LHTAC) administers the Children Pedestrian Safety (CPS) grant program which provides up to a maximum of $250,000 to local jurisdictions
for pedestrian improvements adjacent to existing roadways that primarily support non-motorized circulation of children. Awarded projects must be “shovel-ready” and complete by December
2024. No local matching funds are required.
The second phase of Davis Ave roadway improvements between Blue Water Circle north to the Lick Creek Road intersection is scheduled for the 2024 construction season which fits within
the grant project timeline. The project is designed to include widened paved roadway shoulders and a short section of separated paved pathway near Gold Glove Park to increase bicycle
and pedestrian safety. Because these pathway improvements are occurring along a school bus route and will improve access to Ponderosa Park, and the ball fields, ice rink and playground
at Gold Glove Park, the project is eligible for CPS grant funding.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve submittal of a Children Pedestrian Safety Grant application for Davis Ave Phase 2 pedestrian improvements and authorize Mayor to sign all necessary documents.
