51 <br />REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION <br />Report Date: March 22, 2007 Agenda Section: VI. B & C <br />Meeting Date: March 17, 2007 <br />ITEM DESCRIPTION: Resolution 07-034 & 07-035; Livable Communities Sidewalk <br />Grant for Stinson Boulevard and Silver Lake Road, <br />respectively. <br />MANAGER'S REVIEW: Resolution 07-034 & 07-035 are resolutions requesting <br />funding for the costs for construction of Stinson Boulevard <br />and Silver Lake Road sidewalks. These are in two areas of <br />the city that are in need of sidewalks or reconstruction of <br />existing sidewalks. <br />The request for funding is $285,000 for each sidewalk. The <br />funds are from the Federal Government through the City of <br />Minneapolis. The program is called Transit for Livable <br />Communities Non -Motorized Transportation Pilot <br />Program (NTP). <br />Staff from the City attended two workshops on this <br />program. There is a three step application process with <br />this being the first step of the three. The goal of applying <br />for these grants is to reduce the costs for the City of St. <br />Anthony and reinforces our mission statement on being <br />"walkable"'. <br />`Wk�' k&l� <br />Michael Mornson <br />City Manager <br />ZACouncil Meetings`200710327071staff report for livable communities.doc - 1 - <br />
