OBJECTIVE: To fund infrastructure improvements that may prevent accidents on Broward Street,
Texas Avenue, Carolina Avenue and Georgia Avenue in Naples Manor.
CONSIDERATIONS: Broward Street, Texas Avenue, Carolina Avenue and Georgia Avenue are
located in Naples Manor. These thoroughfares have direct connections to local schools. Over the past
several years there have been accidents on these thoroughfares due to the high speed of vehicles.
Sidewalks and street lights will relieve vehicular congestion and help make these areas safer for
pedestrians. The HUD census tract data recognizes that 63.9% to 84.76% of the residents in this area
have incomes that identify as low to moderate. A CDBG project on these streets would meet the National
Objective of Benefitting low and moderate-income persons as at least 51% of the residents are LMI
persons.

of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) FY 2019-2020 grant application cycle. Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) may be used for infrastructure improvements such as sidewalks and
street lights in low income neighborhoods such as Naples Manor.

apply for CDBG funds for infrastructure improvements as well as any other improvements that may
alleviate the safety concerns on Broward Street, Texas Avenue, Carolina Avenue and Georgia Avenue in
Naples Manor.

Block Grant funds.

LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved for form and legality and requires a majority vote
for Board action. -JAK
