Title
Resolution approving an application for a Community Transportation Planning Grant
 
Body
SUMMARY:
An 80/20 grant opportunity has been made available to assist in the costs for transportation planning for the City.  The deadline for submittal of the grant has been extended to January 26, 2015.
The City is seeking to develop a Traffic Flow study inside its Urban Growth Boundary, which will provide a better understanding of county wide community traffic patterns. The study will include a ranking system for all traffic signals that will yield an optimized timing plan showing which signals are in need of synchronization.  The study will also provide a base to build future land use planning and potential changes to the City's Major Thoroughfare Plan.
