JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Cities and towns short on extra cash could get state help to improve street safety and other infrastructure issues.
The Missouri Department of Transportation on Friday announced grants available to local agencies to spruce up streets.
Speed limit reviews, pedestrian and bike route analysis, parking issues and other projects related to traffic engineering are eligible for the grants.
The department will reimburse up to 80 percent of project costs of selected local public agencies. Projects must be able to be completed by next fall.
Applications for projects are due Nov. 15, and funding announcements will be made in January.
