Title
Approval to resubmit an application for a GDOT GATEway Grant.
Transportation
Body
Item Summary:
Roswell DOT received approval from Council on October 5, 2009, to submit a grant application for a GDOT GATEway Grant in the amount of $50,000. City staff learned in March 2010 that the application was not selected for funding. Shortly thereafter, staff learned that GDOT reopened the grant application process with a new deadline of October 29, 2010. As a result, staff focused on using the grant funding for one (or several small) gateway signs strategically positioned along the roadways entering the City. In June 2010, staff showed Council examples of monument signs from neighboring Cobb County and made recommendations for potential locations for installation of a City of Roswell gateway sign.
Community Development and Transportation staff have developed a conceptual drawing of how the monument signs could appear. The design is based on previously approved concepts for district signs and visitor kiosks.
Committee or Staff Recommendation:
On September 29, 2010 the Community Development and Transportation Committee recommended placing this item on the October 11, 2010 Mayor and Council Agenda.
Financial Impact:
There is no financial impact for this request.
