The City has been awarded up to $500,000 for the Sunwood Drive realignment project, which construction costs are estimated at $3.1 million, through the solicitation process. Eligibility criteria for projects included: • The projects must be approved for construction letting by June 2013 • The road improvement must qualify as regionally significant • The project must correct a transportation deficiency and incorporate a safety strategy as part of the proposed improvement project • Funding is capped at $500,000.
