The city of Dripping Springs was awarded two grants totaling more than $2.8 million from the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) to improve pedestrian safety via the construction of two sidewalk projects.
The grants were awarded through TxDOT’s Transportation Alternative Set-Aside Program (TA), a program that provides funding to construct various alternative transportation projects that improve safety and mobility for non-motorized travelers and assist with reducing traffic congestion.
Both grants are matching grants, and the federal funds must be matched by a minimum of 20 percent from the city. While no decision was made to accept the grants at the Feb. 18 city council meeting, members were positive regarding the grants.
