City of Flint Safe & Clean Summer Kickoff

The City of Flint held a Safe & Clean Summer Kickoff meeting on April 17, 2026, focusing on public safety and community beautification initiatives for the summer season. Key procurement-related topics included the deployment of 30 to 50 speed modification units funded primarily through grant dollars, with plans to order more to address speeding in residential areas, parks, and near schools and churches. The city also discussed the use of forfeited vehicles from drag racing and illegal dumping enforcement to fund community programs. Additionally, a contractor was engaged to assist street maintenance teams to ensure timely street repairs and safe, passable roads. The meeting emphasized partnerships with city council members to secure funding and support for these initiatives, including youth summer job programs and public safety announcements.
