City Engineer Greg Guebert outlined the various sources of funds for the annual street rehabilitation program which include funding from the city budget including any increases approved by the Board of Commissioners, grant funding, and the State’s Municipal Aid Program funding. For the current fiscal year, the total funding for street rehabilitation projects is $3.965 million.
Guebert then provided additional details about the grant funding and associated projects. Using Community Development Block Grant funding, the city completed the sidewalk project on Clements Street. Upcoming projects and funding sources include Levin Street, S. 21st Street and sidewalk design for Coleman Road.
The city also has applied for grant funding to replace a bridge on County Park Road and rehabilitate sections of Jackson Street, Cruse Avenue, James Sanders Boulevard and County Park Road.
Guebert ended the presentation with a city map depicting the road projects completed in the last fiscal year and the projects planned for the current fiscal year.
