During July 2023, the city applied for a $105,000 federal Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) 
grant from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) to develop a traffic safety action plan 
that prioritizes safety improvements and justifies investment decisions. The federal share is 80% 
($84,000) and the city shar e is 20% ($21,000) . The city was notified during early 2024 tha t the 
grant was awarded and the contract with FHW A was executed during June 2024. After a gr a nt 
required RFQ process was conducted, Kimley Horn Engineers was awarded the contract. The plan, 
after robust data analysis and citizen engagement, is now complete and ready to be adopted by the 
city council (plan attached). By developing and adopting this traffic safety plan, the city can now 
s
eek federal SS4A funding for traffic safety improvement projects as outlined in the plan. The final 
s
tep is for the city council to approve the attached resolution adopting the plan.
