Dear Mr. Quilty,
The City of Ashland expresses our full support for Jackson County's Clay Street project funding
application. This coordinated project between Jackson County and the City Ashland will enhance
a local collector by providing a full street improvement between Siskiyou Boulevard and Faith
Avenue.
The densely populated area around this section of Clay Street would benefit immensely from full
street improvements including sidewalks to provide much needed pedestrian connectivity to the
Siskiyou School, Clay Street Park, Ashland Street, Siskiyou Boulevard and the local transit stops
in the area.
If awarded the City of Ashland has agreed to accept the jurisdictional transfer of middle Clay
Street and be the project manager for the improvement for Jackson County. The City has the
staff resources to successfully deliver these functional street improvements and looks forward to
another successful partnership with Jackson County.
Sincerely,
)~Y~ (J~
