Title

Authorizing the Mayor to enter into and execute a cooperative agreement between the City of Toledo and Washington Local Schools and to give consent to the City of Toledo to install bike racks on School District property; and declaring an emergency.

 

Body

SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:

The City of Toledo was awarded funding for a Safe Routes to School project within the Washington Local School district to install concrete pads and bike racks within the property of various WLS elementary school buildings to meet the demand of students that ride bicycles to school. A cooperative agreement between the City and the School District will allow the City to construct the new facilities within the District’s property. Once completed, the School District will maintain the bike racks and concrete pads within their property limits for a minimum of 20 years in accordance with the agreement.

 

The City of Toledo will administer the design and construction of the project utilizing ODOT safety funding, which will cover 100% of the construction costs.

 

Summary
