We are all about safety and mobility. Our role in the city's comprehensive planning process is pretty passive at the moment. We certain applaud any efforts to improve mobility on state infrastructure.

When it's all said and done, it's probably going to be more than $10,000 because it's pretty wide spread.

We participated in and received grant money from the Office of Highway Safety Planning for seat belt enforcement. We received a grant for $2,000 to purchase equipment here. We also applied for an OHSP grant for youth alcohol enforcement. We're be participating in the program sometime in 2006.

It cements the really pretty good relationship we have with the planning department, which goes a very long way for us in getting our projects approved in a timely fashion.

We're happy to see this project come this much closer to its completion.
