The resolution authorizes the city manager to enter into an agreement with Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. to complete the plan for a cost of $300,000. City staff said 80% of the $300,000 is expected to be reimbursed through federal grants.
The overview
The goals of the project will be:
- Update the city’s existing Safety Action Plan to comply with all federal requirement
- Conduct a downtown pedestrian safety action plan to address pedestrian fatalities and serious injuries near the city center
- Conduct intersection-focused road safety audits at intersections identified as crash hotspots
Through the updated plan, the city will be able to plan for future safety projects, and potentially receive grant funding for those projects.
What’s next?
Upon the signing of the agreement, the firm will work on the plan analysis and gathering data to update the plan.
According to the agreement, the cost of the services are broken up by the following tasks:
- Project management: $25,000
- Public engagement: $40,000
- Safety and equity analysis: $50,000
- Infrastructure project development: $50,000
- Intersection-road safety audits: $50,000
- City center pedestrian study: $50,000
