Jesse, all,
We submitted this grant proposal but haven't heard back on it yet. The initial submission does not require us to select a final project, but it did provide space for us to indicate potential projects. The project we indicated as of most interest at the time of submission was regional bike/ped wayfinding. Open streets sounds like another great idea.
I'll keep you all informed if/when we hear back about the grant.
Cheers,
Drew

HI John,
Did this get any traction with the city? I'm not sure how I missed it but one thing, in particular, stood out to me as one of the funding options of the grant: open street events. I'm interested to hear more from the city on partnerships in this arena.
Sincerely,
Jesse
