elik Report to Mayor& Members of City Council E LG I N
THE CITY IN THE SUBURBS
MEETING DATE: December 15, 2010
INITIATIVE H: Safe Routes to School Grant for Re-Striping of Crosswalks
COMMUNITY GOAL
• A Safe Community
OBJECTIVE
• Re-Stripe all crosswalks near U-46 elementary and middle schools
PURPOSE
• To provide safe walking routes to U-46 schools
RECOMMENDATION
• Approve the agreement with Wills Burke Kelsey and Associates for engineering
services
BACKGROUND
In the fall of 2008, the city applied for the Safe Routes to School Grant. Per application
guidelines,the city is allowed to partner with one school district. The city partnered with School
District U-46. As part of the application, the city and school district applied for funding to re-
stripe crosswalks near U-46 elementary and middle schools.Twenty locations were identified in
the application and are listed in attachment A. The city was awarded $149,850 for the re-
striping project as part of the 2008 Safe Routes to School funding cycle.The Illinois Department
of Transportation (IDOT) released the 2008 funds in December of 2009 and gave the city the go
ahead to move forward with this project in the fall of 2010. No Safe Routes to School funding
cycle was available in 2009, however, in 2010 it was announced that there will be a funding
cycle that will combine 2010 and 2011 federal funds that have been awarded to the State of
Illinois.
OPERATIONAL ANALYSIS
Typically, crosswalks in Elgin are striped using the annual motor fuel tax funded striping
program. Utilizing the Safe Routes to School funding for crosswalks will enable the city to
leverage the motor tax dollars to stripe more centerlines, shoulders and other roadway
symbols. To ensure the program is executed according to the grant guidelines and to avoid
overlap with the motor fuel tax programs, city staff is recommending that the city enter into an
agreement with the city's motor fuel tax consultant Wills Burke Kelsey and Associates. It is
anticipated that a striping contract for the Safe Routes Grant will be brought before the city
council in the spring of 2011.
INTERESTED PERSONS CONTACTED
Attached are letters of support that were included as part of the City of Elgin/School District U-
46 Safe Routes to School grant application.The organizations listed below were part of the Safe
Routes to School project team that selected the projects that the city and school district would
pursue in the application.
School District U-46
United Way of Elgin
Boys and Girls Club of Elgin
Elgin Community Network
Summit Park Neighborhood and Settlement
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
The City of Elgin will submit for reimbursement for the striping of crosswalks identified in the
grant application up to $149,850. The city must pay for the cost of the striping and engineering
services upfront and will then submit for one-hundred percent reimbursement through IDOT.
Like the motor tax administration, IDOT establishes local agency/consultant rates. The city
agrees to pay the consulting engineer Wills Burke Kelsey and Associates for engineering
services at the established rates for services with an estimated cost of $22,861. Choosing to

To Whom It May Concern:
It is my understanding the City of Elgin and School District U-46, are submitting an
application to the US Department of Transportation, National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration for the Safe Routes to School Grant.
The United Way of Elgin fully endorses the joint grant request for funding for
infrastructure and non-infrastructure for the Safe Routes to School program. Our
Governing Board places a high priority on programming where local dollars can be
matched to other resources. United Way of Elgin's Impact councils work closely with
several elementary schools and their PTO's and would be instrumental in bringing the
right people who want to make walking and bicycling to school safe and appealing for
children. Sharing common concerns, interests and knowledge among a variety of
community members with diverse expertise will help enable groups to tackle many
issues. United Way, with the assistance of our partner agencies, has the ability to
coordinate volunteer opportunities for this project and build awareness for the program
by utilizing our networking resources.
In working with community and school leaders United Way recognizes the benefits of
the Safe Routes to School program. Given today's economy The Safe Routes to
School will be cost saving to parents by reducing the need for parents to drive their
children to school, it will reduce traffic congestion, increase safety in school parking lots
and drop off- zones, will be a great way for a child and parent to make neighborhood
friends, and it will foster improved health by providing daily exercise children need.
The City of Elgin and School District U-46 continues to exemplify a high degree of
sensitivity to the needs of our community. Please accept our endorsement for their
application as a gesture of recognition of their competence and credibility in the
community and United Way of Elgin's willingness to offer support for the project.
Should you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to call me.
Sincerely,

City Manager's Office
City of Elgin
150 Dexter Ct.
Elgin, IL 60120
Dan, This is the Elgin Community Network's letter in support of the Safe Routes
to Schools Grant.
in late 2002 and early 2003 the Elgin Community Network (ECN) and the City of
Elgin held a series of community meetings, called Popcorn and Planning, in order
to survey the citizens regarding.what they felt would improve their quality of life in
Elgin. The top choices were bicycle and walking paths and regional bike paths.
Since Elgin is an older community, bikeways in the established part of the City
would have to be on city streets.
The ECN decided to champion a bikeway plan for the community that would
create one major bikeway in each quadrant of the City. Popcorn and Pedaling
meetings were held in each quadrant, and residents were asked to select streets
that would be suitable for a bikeway in their neighborhood. All of the bikeways
would start at the Gail Borden Public Library, which is adjacent to the Fox River
Bike Trail, and radiate out to the City limits or as far as they could go.
In 2007 the plan was presented to the Elgin City Council for funding approval.
Since bikeways and bike paths were a part of the City's Comprehensive Plan,
funding was approved for a consultant to complete a Master Plan for the whole
community. Early in 2008 the ECN and the consultants presented the final plan
to the Elgin City Council, and it was approved.
The City has already created an off-street bike path on Congdon Avenue and has
striped Walnut Avenue for bike lanes on both sides of the street. Wing Park
Boulevard is being improved and part of the improvement is a 10-foot wide
bike/walking path on the west side of the street. All new housing developments
in Elgin are required to have a bike path. The goal is to make Elgin a bicycle
friendly community.
The ECN is invested in Elgin's Bikeway Plan to make safe places for residents to
ride their bicycles. We also fully support the Safe Routes to Schools concept.
The ECN is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit corporation currently providing an educational
series called ELGIN ALIVE. These programs focus on energy conservation,
reuse, and sustainability. We will be assisting the City in presenting its
Sustainability Plan in May of 2009.
