MEMORANDUM <br /> TO: CROW WING COUNTY BOARD <br /> FROM: SANDY PEINE, PEQUOT LAKES CITY CLERK <br /> DATE: DECEMBER 199 2005 <br /> SUBJECT: TRANSPORTATION ENHANCEMENT GRANT <br /> The Central Minnesota Area Transportation Partnership is accepting <br /> transportation enhancement applications for projects to be constructed <br /> during State Fiscal Years 2009 and 2010 (July 1, 2008—June 30, 2010). <br /> The City of Pequot Lakes is applying for a grant for a pedestrian and <br /> bicycle underpass. This underpass is associated with the Highway 371 <br /> improvement. The Highway 371 committee and the Pequot Lakes City <br /> Council identified safety for pedestrians as an essential part of this <br /> project. Therefore, the City is applying for this grant to assist in the cost <br /> of providing a safe way for pedestrians, students, and bicyclists to cross <br /> the Highway after the expansion takes place. <br /> Because the City of Pequot Lakes is a city with a population of less than <br /> 5,000 people there is a requirement that the County sponsor the grant. <br /> What this means is that the County sponsors the grant knowing that <br /> they are responsible to secure and guarantee the local share of costs <br /> associated with the project and that the County is responsible for seeing <br /> the project through to its completion. <br />
