Mayor Hinders asked if there was a way to charge people that live in the city limits of Canyon less for the CAP since they are paying on the Bond as voted on.

The City of Canyon Planning and Development Department is seeking authorization from the City Commission to submit a grant application to the U.S Department of Transportation through the Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) Grant Program. The City of Canyon was awarded a SS4A grant of $110,000 to perform a Safety Action Plan for the entire City last year. We have selected a consultant to perform this work and are currently negotiating a contract. This year, the funding stream is open again and allows for applications for supplemental planning and demonstration of proposed projects. A requirement for maintaining eligibility for FHWA funding is the creation and adoption of an ADA transition plan. City Staff is seeking authorization to apply for an additional $400,000 in funding from SS4A to cover the cost of the ADA Transition plan and demonstration projects. This request would result in a match obligation of $80,000 from the City of Canyon, which we predict would be required primarily in budget years 2026-2027 and 2027-2028, as grant agreements will be signed a year from now. This grant and the programming it funds would be a follow up to our initial funding source and allow us to seamlessly continue to provide assurance for our continued eligibility for federal transportation funding sources.
