RECOMMENDED MOTION:
Approve a resolution supporting the safe routes to Schools Master Plan
POLICY ISSUE(S):
Public hearing
BACKGROUND:
The Paris Independent School District (PISD) applied for a grant from the Texas
Department of Transportation (TxDOT) for a Program and Plan Development grant in
2007. The $10,000.00 grant was awarded to the school district in fall of 2007. The grant
money is being used to develop a master plan for the Texas Safe Routes to School
Program. PISD, the Friends of the Trail and Hayter Engineering have been creating a
master plan. The creation of a master plan for the Texas Safe Routes to School makes
our community eligible to apply for a$750,000.00 non-matching grant to construct
infrastructure such as sidewalks, cross walks, signs and bike lanes. The City of Paris will
need to be the applicant on the grant application because the majority of the infrastructure
will be constructed on City of Paris Right-of-Way. A public hearing is part of the
development of the Master Plan.
