Projects Open To Comment

Way back in December, SRTC put out a call asking local jurisdictions to submit projects they'd like to secure federal funds for in order to do preliminary engineering. There aren't any federal funds available now, but we want to be prepared when they become available. And we usually ask for projects that are ready to be constructed, or are 'shovel ready.' But with all the ARRA funds handed out last year, we've now funded or constructed all our shovel ready projects.

So we thought we'd get some projects teed up and on the back burner just so we'd be ready when the federal government is ready to hand out more money.

Here is the list of projects chosen for those funds. A public comment period is open if you agree/disagree or other on the projects chosen. Follow the link to see how to comment.

looks like a misplaced comma on the Ben Burr Trail Connection to Centennial Trail. I'm guessing 450,00 should be 45,000.
