In this agenda, the city's employees said that the CDBG contract was financed.
The project is to improve pedestrian and automotive traffic and to record the criteria prescribed nationwide by Americans with disabilities, and, according to the city staff, will connect with a project with a road reconstruction and a sidewalk project.
According to the city, the project will offer an ADA -compliant pedestrian corridor along the 7th Avenue Northwest, the Northwest Bus Route.

The public work staff hired a CDBG application for the project and was approved by the city's internal review committee.
The personnel also recommend the approval of CDBG funds of $ 870,085 for the 32nd street South Ada upgrade of public work.
This construction contract was also approved at the meeting of the Commission on February 18.

By using CDBG funds for both infrastructure projects, public work can lead to the evaluation or the gas tax fund for other projects, according to the city supply employees.
If the Commissioners refuse the CDBG financing agreement, public work must postpone both projects according to the city administration to find other sources of financing.
Tom Hazen, City Grants Administrator, told The Electric that both projects should always be paid up to a certain point with CDBG funds, but public work and financial departments agreed that the road budget would probably have to bring in if the bids were too high.
In the future, Hazen said that the employees of the city of CDBG financing agreements would conclude on the same commission agenda as the construction contracts for urban projects.
