Jamestown (CSi)  City Administrator Jeff Fuchs has announced that NDDOT Director Grant Levi notified the City of a  2018 grant award of $276,953 in the NDDOT Transportation Alternatives Program.

Fuchs says The grant will allow construction of additional sidewalks on 12th Ave NE,  from 5th St NE to 13th St NE, then east on the Airport Road to the JHS entrance and south to the High School. It also includes sidewalk between the High School and TRAC as well as funding from TRAC east to Eastwood Drive.

Fuchs adds, it’s  great news for the residents of Jamestown as it will assist in providing a much safer pedestrian and bike route between JHS, TRAC and Gussner School areas.

Fuchs added special thanks to Robin Iszler for putting the grant application together and all the others on her committee who assisted with this project.
