CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA ITEMS 6C -i, 6C -ii
STAFF ORIGINATOR: Mary Alice Divine
MEETING DATE: January 23, 2012
TOPIC: Local Road Improvement Program Grant Applications
VOTE REQUIRED: 3/5
BACKGROUND
In 2011 the State Legislature appropriated $10 million into the Local Road Improvement
Program. These funds are used to assist townships, cities and counties in paying the costs of
constructing or reconstructing city streets, county highways, or town roads with statewide or
regional significance.
Selection of projects in this account is based upon the following considerations:
1. Projects must be approved for construction letting by June of 2013
2. The route must have regional significance
3. The project must correct a transportation deficiency and incorporate a safety
strategy as part of the proposed improvement project
The maximum award amount is $500,000. Based on the eligibility requirements staff believes
the City can submit an application for both the Lake Drive /Main Street signalization project
and the Birch Street/Ware Road signalization project. Applications are due by February 3, 2012
and require resolutions of support from the city council.
