City of San Luis receives grant for traffic safety
SAN LUIS, Ariz. (KYMA) – San Luis, Arizona got funding to continue making downtown traffic safer and more welcoming for Port of Entry users.
The City of San Luis received a $60,000 grant from General Motors (GM). The money will help to create a 2,500-foot roadway mural that will increase driver awareness and increase pedestrian safety.
“It’s going to help a lot with the traffic lights that eventually be there and it’s going to help a big deal at least with the design, how to make it more friendly,” said Mayor Nieves Riedel.
The construction will be on Main and B Street, near the Port of Entry, and Mayor Riedel said San Luis was one of only a few cities in the country to get the grant.
“We are always applying for grants and this is a blessing,” Riedel shared. “Only five communities received it and we were one of them. And anything helps.”
The GM on Main Street Grant started in 2023, and it has awarded $1 million to 21 cities. To learn more about the grant, click here.
