I wanted you to hear it directly from me: I have sent a formal request urging U.S. Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy to quickly approve Lake County’s application for a major federal Safe Streets and Roads for All grant.

Lake County is seeking $23.4 million in federal funding, combined with a local match, to make critical safety improvements along CR 561 and CR 44. These corridors have experienced far too many serious crashes and remain among the county’s highest transportation priorities.

If awarded, this funding would help implement proven safety measures including rumble strips, widened shoulders, raised medians, improved lighting, enhanced pavement markings, and other upgrades designed to reduce roadway departures, head-on collisions, pedestrian accidents, and nighttime crashes. These investments are about one thing: saving lives. 

It is an honor to represent you in Congress, and it is my pleasure to fight hard every single day here in Washington to bring much-needed federal resources back home and deliver results for the people of the 6th district.

I’ve attached the full letter I sent to Secretary Duffy so you can read it if you’d like right here.
