Pausing Safe Routes to School Funding
Summary
The $1.1 million local match for the Safe Routes to School grant is on hold because the state-administered construction agreement came in much higher than expected, and sales tax revenue has dropped. Staff will try to push the project out a few years so the grant isn't lost.
