Meeting Summary
Transportation Safety Initiatives
-
•
The City of Roswell approved the Citywide Safety Action Plan and adopted a Vision Zero Resolution, an aspirational commitment to reduce traffic fatalities and serious injuries through a layered safety approach. This plan was developed using a $200,000 Safe Streets and Roads for All grant from USDOT, with the local match paid by North Fulton CID, incurring no cost to the city.

The approval of the Safety Action Plan enables the city to apply for federal implementation grants from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) under the Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) program, with potential grants ranging from $2.5 million to $25 million. These grants require a 20% local match, for which potential funds have been identified in next year's budget. [Video 00:10:42] [Video 00:11:08]

The city will also submit a Local Maintenance and Improvement Grant (LMIG) application to the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) for $400,000 for immediate safety improvements. This grant requires a 30% local match of $120,000, sourced from the bond program for bicycle pedestrian sidewalks, and is expected to fund 10-12 projects for rapid implementation, aligning with the "Slow Down Roswell" initiative.

Administrative and Property Matters
-
•
The Mayor and City Administrator were authorized to sell city-owned right-of-way along Shallowford Road and Hightower Road for $5,000 to a developer whose decorative fences and columns encroached on less than 200 square feet of the right-of-way. This sale was advised by the chief legal officer and will not impact future city plans. [Video 00:20:52] [Video 00:21:36] [Video 00:22:05]
