PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: None. BACKGROUND: This Ordinance accepts the Federal Highway Safety Improvements Program (HSIP) grant award for Lake and Jones Roundabout. The City submitted a Federal Highway Safety Improvement Program grant for improvements at the intersection of Lake Avenue and Jones Avenue in 2023. Despite the fact this is a signalized intersection, 50% of the crashes were broadsides (front to side) with one being a fatality. Because of the high percentage of broadsides at this intersection, it is a good candidate for a roundabout. The Federal Highway Administration has identified the roundabout construction as one of the most significant accident countermeasure concepts and current speed studies of existing Pueblo roundabouts have shown average speeds in the low 20 miles per hour (MPH) range. The intersection of Lake Avenue and Jones Avenue is in close proximity to St. Mary Corwin Medical Center, Corwin Middle School and Lake Minnequa. This improvement will enhance the safety of drivers, bicyclists, and pedestrians of all ages and abilities. The Department of Public Works has reviewed and is familiar with the grant application, award, and associated draft agreement, and to the best of our knowledge and belief, the City has the present ability to comply with all monetary expenditures, special conditions, certifications and assurances therein contained. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: The matching funds in the amount of $150,000.00 will be transferred from Project Account CI2415, Street Rehabilitation to Project Account CI2431, Lake Ave & Jones Ave Roundabout. Funds in the amount of $1,500,000.00 shall be budgeted and appropriated for Project Account CI2431. BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: None. STAKEHOLDER PROCESS: None. ALTERNATIVES: Currently, there are no alternatives for completing the improvements without the funding from the Highway Safety Improvements Program funds. RECOMMENDATION: Approve the Ordinance.
