A RESOLUTION ENDORSING AND APPROVING AN APPLICATION TO THE
OREGON DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION'S BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN
GRANT PROGRAM FOR FUNDING OF FRONT STREET IMPROVEMENTS
WHEREAS, the state's Bicycle and Pedestrian Grant Program provides support for design and
construction of pedestrian and bicycle facilities; and
WHEREAS, a goal of the City's Strategic Plan is to promote a pleasant and safe street
environment that is characterized by ease of use for pedestrians and those in vehicles accessing
our businesses; and
WHEREAS, a stated goal of the City's Transportation System Planning is to place a higher
priority on funding and constructing street projects that address identified vehicular, bicycle, and
pedestrian safety problems than those projects that solely respond to automotive capacity
deficiencies in the street system; and
WHEREAS, the City of Central Point wishes to respond to the concerns of its citizens, business
owners, local and state officials and come together to develop innovative design solutions that
will promote safety and economic revitalization on Front Street;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
