What are the limitations of the funding from the Federal Emergency Relief Program?
The requirements for use of the emergency relief funds available from the federal government state, “Replacement of roadway facilities other than bridges is limited to the existing number of lanes and surface type.” Though the regulations may have some leeway, significant enhancements to the roadway, such as widening for improved pedestrian/bicycle access, would not be eligible for Federal emergency relief funding and would also require significantly more funding than the cost of the restoration (additional property acquisition and stabilization could cost upwards of $20 million).
