Council votes to submit CPS grant application
SANDPOINT — As its only item of new business at last week’s meeting, the council voted to move forward with a grant application that could allow the city to step into a second phase of improvements on Division Avenue.
The Child Pedestrian Safety grant could provide up to $250,000 in funding improvements on the eastern side of Division Avenue, between Superior and Pine Streets, with the purpose of providing safer streets for children to walk on.
Following a road safety audit conducted in 2019, the city integrated steps for long-term improvements on Division into its Multi-Modal Transportation Plan, Holly Ellis, city construction manager, said. The project in its entirety is slated to take place over the next 10 to 20 years and cost around $10 million all together.
