City staff announced at the June 26 council meeting that Spring Hill submitted a Safe Streets for All (SS4A) implementation grant application covering seven projects and totaling about $11 million.

Staff said the package bundles several safety projects, including multiple roundabout locations, limited-access-point work along U.S. 169 and a South Street sidewalk project. Amy Abel told council the application seeks to fund about 80% of the program cost through federal grants and that the city applied to state programs to help cover the local match. Abel said the city included 36 letters of support with the application.

Abel described the submission as one large request composed of six project groupings and said that, if the program awards less than the full amount, staff would return with options to de-scope or prioritize individual projects. She reported the local match figure for the full package as about $110,000 as presented to council.

No formal council vote was required for the grant submission; staff will return with updates if the funding agency responds or requests changes to scope.
