ACTION REQUESTED:
Consider Resolution 24-XX for support of application to the New Mexico Matching Fund to provide matching funds for possible Safe Streets and Roads for All funding application.
BACKGROUND:
Initiated by: James MacCornack
City of Roswell has an FHWA accepted Safe Streets and Roads for all Comprehensive Safety Action Plan. Plan has identified systematic safety treatments that are recommended to be applied at various locations through the City. These treatments are individually low-cost and include improved roadway striping and pavement markings, and visibility enhancements at signalized intersections. FHWA funding is 80/20 with 20% of the project cost required to come from non-federal sources. It is proposed to pursue New Mexico Matching Fund funding to fund the 20% required match to support application to FHWA for funding in Spring 2025.
