Grant FundingTransportationDetected Apr 20, 2026

Under City Administration, it is reported that a Transportation Alternatives Plan is underway funded by a MnDOT planning grant, with the first team meeting held on April 14. This type of plan typically evaluates pedestrian, bicycle, and other non-motorized improvements and sets priorities for future capital projects and grant applications. Since the effort is at the planning stage with only the initial meeting completed, there will likely be ongoing needs for planning support, public engagement, GIS/engineering analysis, and eventual design and implementation work for chosen projects.Vendors specializing in transportation planning, active transportation infrastructure, and grant-supported project delivery could position to support the city as this plan solidifies into specific projects.

Plan is supported by a MnDOT planning grant; no implementation projects or construction contracts have been specified yet.
