P 1A... lanner v• ATTACHMENTS: Resolution, Rosemount Elementary and Middle Schools Project Map and APPROVED BY Estimate, Shannon Park Elementary Project Map and Estimate 04.1 RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to Approve a Resolution Authorizing Submission of the City's 2015 Safe Routes to School Infrastructure Grant Applications for trail, sidewalk, and crosswalk improvements near Shannon Park Elementary and the Rosemount Elementary and Middle School campus. SUMMARY Staff request City Council authorization to apply for two Safe Routes to School grants. The Engineering Department estimated the total costs for both projects at $266,250 (see project description below). Should the City receive the grants, funds from the Safe Routes to Schools program would reimburse the City for 80 percent of the project costs. The City would be required to fund the remaining 20 percent of the project costs estimated at$52,250. BACKGROUND In coordination with Dakota County and Independent School District (ISD) 196, staff recommends applying for two Safe Routes to School grants. The proposed improvements were specifically identified in the 2010 Safe Routes to School Plans for Shannon Park Elementary, Rosemount Elementary and Rosemount Middle Schools. These applications have the full support of ISD 196 Superintendent Jane Berenz, the principals of each school, the Dakota County Regional Chamber of Commerce and the Rosemount Area Business Council. Furthermore, they are consistent with the City Council's Sustainability goals as well as the goals of the Active Living chapter of the City's Comprehensive Plan and Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan. The first grant application is for $137,500 and would fund improvements near Rosemount Elementary and Middle Schools. It calls for installation of an 8'wide sidewalk directly abutting the curb along 144`h Street West from Chili Avenue to Cameo Avenue. The second grant in the amount of$128,750 would fund improvements near Shannon Park Elementary School. It calls for construction of an 8'wide bituminous trail connecting the City's existing trail along Shannon Parkway to the south side of the school campus and an LED crosswalk sign at Evermoor Parkway and Greggs Circle. Both projects would be located within City or School District property or existing public right-of-way. However, the sidewalk along 144`h Street West would be located within the public right-of-way directly in front of private residences. Should the City receive this grant, staff plans to conduct the typical public process to engage and inform residents along this portion of 144th Street West about the project. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the City Council authorizes submission of two Safe Routes to School Infrastructure Grant applications for trail, sidewalk,and crosswalk improvements near Shannon Park Elementary and the Rosemount Elementary and Middle School campus. These projects have the full support of ISD 196 and are consistent with the City Council's Sustainability goals as well as the Safe Routes to School,Active Living and Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plans. 2 CITY OF ROSEMOUNT DAKOTA COUNTY, MINNESOTA RESOLUTION 2014 - A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING SUBMISSION OF THE CITY' S 2015 SAFE ROUTESTO SCHOOL INFRASTRUCTURE GRANT APPLICATIONS FOR TRAIL, SIDEWALK, AND CROSSWALK IMPROVEMENTS NEAR SHANNON PARK ELEMENTARY, ROSEMOUNT ELEMENTARY AND ROSEMOUNT MIDDLE SCHOOLS WHEREAS,the federal Safe Routes to School program seeks to enable and encourage children to walk and bicycle to school;make bicycling and walking to school a safer and more appealing transportation alternative;and facilitate the planning, development and implementation of projects and activities that will improve safety and reduce traffic, fuel consumption and air pollution in the vicinity of schools;and WHEREAS, Safe Routes to School Infrastructure Grants provide 80 percent reimbursement for approved projects with the local governments providing a 20 percent local match;and WHEREAS,the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) requires that projects constructed with federal transportation funds be operated and maintained for the useful life of the improvement and that the use of right of way or property ownership acquired as part of the projects not be changed without prior approval from the FHWA;and WHEREAS, the City of Rosemount is the sponsoring agency for Safe Routes to School projects detailed below and will operate and maintain these projects in conformance with FHWA under the direction of the City's Public Works Quality Standards and Snowplowing Policy and Operating Procedures documents;and WHEREAS, the Rosemount Elementary and Middle Schools project would install an 8' sidewalk directly abutting the curb along 144`''Street West from Chili Avenue to Cameo Avenue and a crosswalk at Chili Avenue;and WHEREAS, the Shannon Park Elementary School project would install an 8'wide bituminous trail connecting the City's existing trail along Shannon Parkway to the south side of the school campus and an LED crosswalk sign at Evermoor Parkway and Greggs Circle;and WHEREAS, the proposed improvements were specifically identified in the 2010 Safe Routes to School Plans for Shannon Park Elementary,Rosemount Elementary and Rosemount Middle Schools;and WHEREAS,the proposed improvements are consistent with the Active Living chapter of Rosemount Comprehensive Plan as well as the City's Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan;and WHEREAS,the proposed improvements are consistent with the City Council's sustainability goals; and WHEREAS, the Superintendent for Independent School District 196 and the principals of each of the three schools fully support the grant applications.
