City says recent Complete Streets allotment too small to fund local projects; reestimation underway for 2026 cycle
Director Stevens briefed the committee that Gardner's Complete Streets allotment for the current calendar year is modest and will not fund the city’s planned projects. Stevens said the city received $100,000 in the current cycle and previously had awards totaling $889,083; after accounting for prior commitments he said the city’s remaining available Complete Streets funding is about $10,917 as presented in the update.

Stevens said staff obtained reestimates for the incomplete Complete Streets projects so the city will be in a stronger position for the next grant cycle, which is administered biannually. He said staff will prepare an application and monitor the city’s allotment for the 2026 grant cycle.

Committee members thanked Stevens for the reestimates. No action was taken at the Oct. 3 meeting; Stevens said staff will pursue the next grant opportunity.
