Item/Subject: Resolve, Appropriating $232,000 in Maine Department of
Transportation Grant Funds to Construct Phase II Sidewalks in the Vicinity of
Downeast School
Responsible Department: Public Services
Commentary:
During the FY 2010 budget process, staff reviewed a pending grant opportunity geared toward
improving pedestrian safety. The City has received notification that its sidewalk grant
application submitted to the Maine Department of Transportation has been granted. This
particular grant is awarded under the Safe Routes to School Funding, which provides 100%
grant funding for qualifying projects. The Phase II project will consist of the construction of
sidewalks to connect with the Phase I projects discussed during the prior agenda item.
Sidewalks included are Bluehill East and West, Dirigo to Downeast Circle, and Moosehead to
Baldk Mountain. This project coupled with the Phase I project will significantly enhance the
walking route used by school children in the Downeast School area.
