CityCouncil | 2022-05-17 | 5 | Under discussion, Councilmember Daysog stated that he voted against the matter in 2019; he is willing to be flexible and will support the matter; however, putting people in cars is not the best idea; if the City combats homelessness, available funding should be used to find shelter. On the call for the question, the motion carried by the following roll call vote: Councilmembers Daysog: Aye; Herrera Spencer: Aye; Knox White: Aye; Vella: Aye; and Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft: Aye. Ayes: 5. (22-351) Resolution No. 15908, "Authorizing the Interim City Manager to Submit a Request to the Metropolitan Transportation Commission for the Allocation of $126,618 in Fiscal Year 2022- 23 for Two Grand Street Transportation Safety Projects per Transportation Development Act Article 3 for Pedestrian/Bicycle Project Funding, and to Execute All Necessary Documents."

The Senior Transportation Coordinator responded in the affirmative; stated there have been two public workshops on the project. Councilmember Herrera Spencer stated the funds will be flexible to meet needs; inquired whether other approved projects could have been submitted.
