Recommendation
Motion to Approve Resolution No. 180-26 for approval of the Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) Grant Agreement with the United States Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) for the preparation of a Vision Zero Action Plan in the amount of $240,000.00; authorizing the City Manager to execute any amendments and/or renewals and take any and all actions necessary to effectuate the intent of this resolution; providing an effective date; and for other purposes.
Body
Background:
The City of Delray Beach (City) has implemented initiatives to improve mobility for all roadway users and reduce traffic-related accidents, to include:
- Complete Streets Policy - on November 1, 2016, the City Commission approved Resolution No. 54-16 approving a Complete Streets Policy to accommodate the safety and convenience of all surface transportation system users into the planning, design, and construction of transportation projects within the City of Delray Beach.
- Vision Zero City - on February 1, 2022, the City Commission approved Resolution No. 07-22 designating the City of Delray Beach as a “Vision Zero City”, establishing a Vision Zero Coordinating Committee, and directing the City Manager to create a Vision Zero Action Plan to establish a goal of no severe traffic injuries or fatalities by 2035.
To further these initiatives, on November 22, 2024, the City Commission approved Resolution No. 222-24 approving the SS4A Grant Agreement with FWHA for funding of the preparation of the Vision Zero Action Plan. The grant requires a 20% local match (City) of $60,000.00 of the requested project total of $300,000.00.
To complete the Vision Zero Action Plan as intended, the Public Works Department has requested an extension to the grant to conduct public outreach meetings during the 2026-2027 tourist season to gather and incorporate feedback into the final report prior to presentation to the City Commission. To obtain the extension, the FHWA requires execution of a new agreement with updated task timelines.
