During a regular city council meeting on Monday, Nov. 4, the Oakdale City Council approved a resolution to improve the safety conditions of bicycle and pedestrian facilities along G Street, between Fourth Avenue and East Avenue. The council emphasized the critical need for updating and enhancing these facilities to ensure safer access for residents.

The proposed resolution outlined a strategic approach to apply for the Local Carbon Reduction Program (Local CRP) Grant Funds, which are designed to support local initiatives aimed at reducing carbon emissions and enhancing community infrastructure. The resolution highlighted the dual benefits of the project: improving safety for non-motorized users and contributing to the city’s environmental goals.

The resolution received strong support from council members, reflecting a unanimous understanding of the project’s importance. The council directed city staff to proceed with the grant application, marking a proactive step toward securing the necessary funding for these critical improvements.

Residents are encouraged to stay engaged with the council’s efforts and to participate in upcoming meetings where further developments on the project will be discussed. The improvements to G Street are part of Oakdale’s broader commitment to enhancing urban mobility and environmental stewardship.
