Bill > SF1091

This bill establishes a traffic calming infrastructure improvements program for cities of the first class (which typically means cities with populations over 100,000) by appropriating $10 million in both fiscal years 2026 and 2027 from the general fund. The grant money will be distributed to these cities in two equal parts: 50% proportionally based on each city's population relative to all first-class cities, and 50% based on each city's share of infrastructure funding needs. The grants can be used for a wide range of traffic safety improvements, including horizontal and vertical street design elements like curb bump-outs, paint markings, bollards, raised crosswalks, and intersection modifications. Notably, improvements made on non-municipal state-aid streets will not need to meet the typical municipal state-aid street standards. The appropriation is designated as a one-time funding allocation, meaning it is not intended to be a recurring annual budget item.
