This is a state <br /> funded program which provides construction funds for projects to improve <br /> school pedestrian safety such as wheelchair ramps, sidewalk, pavement <br /> markers, and school signage. <br /> Staff submitted the Jim Thorpe Elementary School route improvements at <br /> the Greenville Street/Alton Avenue railroad crossing for SR2S funding for <br /> fiscal year 2009/2010. Given the need for these improvements, staff <br /> recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution supporting State <br /> funding of this project and authorizing the Executive Director of the <br /> Public Works Agency to execute agreement under the Safe Routes to School <br /> Program. <br /> ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT <br /> Environmental reviews will be conducted for those projects that receive <br /> funding and will be presented to the City Council when the construction <br /> contract(s) is awarded. These types of projects typically qualify for <br /> Categorical Exemptions. <br /> 55B-1 <br /> <br />
