Russo, City Manager <br /> DATE: May 15, 2003 C4, <br /> RE: TRANSPORTATION ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM FUNDING REQUEST <br /> RECOMMENDATION <br /> It is recommended that the City Commission approve the attached resolution authorizing the City <br /> Manager to apply for, receive, and expend funding from the Florida Department of <br /> Transportation's Transportation Enhancement Program. <br /> REASONS <br /> The City has begun efforts to revitalize the Sunny Isles Boulevard/SR 826 area, the main <br /> entrance corridor to the city. These efforts will include landscaping enhancements and <br /> pedestrian and vehicular traffic calming measures. As these projects are costly, the City is <br /> seeking grant funding from available sources. <br /> The Florida Department of Transportation has grant funding available through its Transportation <br /> Enhancement Program. These grants require a 50/50 match by the City. The City is requesting <br /> One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) in grant funding, with a 50% match by the City, for a total <br /> of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00). <br /> ADDITIONAL INFORMATION <br /> This is federal funding being sought for the reconstruction of Sunny Isles Boulevard/SR826 east <br /> bound. It will greatly improve the main entrance to the City and spark major private <br /> redevelopment of the corridor,forming the basis of the"Town Center"concept <br /> CJR/pw <br /> Edot-Tep Funding Agenda Memo <br />
