Officials in Elk and Chautauqua counties are asking for citizens to provide their input and assistance as they pursue grant funding to improve streets and roads.
The two counties are hoping to secure funding through the Safe Streets and Roads for All program. The program is a $5 billion federal initiative run by the U.S. Department of Transportation to fund local, regional, and Tribal projects that prevent traffic deaths and serious injuries. Cities, towns and counties are eligible applicants.
County officials are asking residents to take part in a community survey about transportation needs in the two counties. The goal is to identify areas in need of safer or improved sidewalks and ADA accessibility, school and pedestrian crossings, dangerous intersections, and routes for biking and walking.
