After sitting out the last bidding session, the City of Decatur is planning to jump into the Indiana Department of Transportation’s (INDOT) latest Community Crossings matching grant program.
The city, through CSI Consultants, is putting together a proposed project that will be submitted to the CC program when bidding for grants is opened in September.
“We are getting everything together now,” city Street/Sanitation Superintendent Matt Schultz said.
CSI official Beth Johnson, who has worked with Decatur on other CC grant bids, attended the April 21 council meeting. Johnson said she and Schultz are preparing a proposal to repair several streets and sidewalks.
A major change has taken place in the Community Crossings program.
Only one “call out” is being held this year. In the past, there were two per year.
“So I’m guessing it’s going to get much tougher (to secure a grant),” Mayor Dan Rickord said.
Following are Decatur’s targeted areas:
* Morningstar Drive from US 27 to dead end.
* Walnut St. from Dayton Ave. to Washington St.
* Second St. from Monroe St. (US224) to Jackson St.
* Porter Vista from Monroe St. to Sunset Lane.
* Winchester St. from US 27 to city limits.
* Madison S. fro Second St. to Seventh St.
* 12th St. from Jackson St. to Nuttman Ave.
