Harrell, Planning and Research Engineer Planning and Research Division Arkansas State Highway and Transportation Department P. O. Box 2261 Little Rock, AR 72201 Dear Mr. Harrell, Thank you for the opportunity to apply for matching funds for recreational trails in Arkansas. Please accept this application from the City of Fayetteville Parks and Recreation Division. It is our mission to provide clean, safe recreational opportunities to Fayetteville citizens of all ages and abilities. The construction of the Lake Fayetteville Trail will enable us to meet a number of objectives in our l0-year Parks Master Plan. The addition of multi-use trails, the better utilization of our lake parks, and the pursuit of grant funds from a variety of sources are all Master Plan objectives. If you need any further information, please contact me at 444-3472 Nancy Dugwyler, CLP Assistant Parks and Recreation Division Director 113 WEST MOUNTAIN 72701 FAYETTEVILLE, AR 72701 501-444-3471 FAX 501-442-3962 Project Title: Lake Fayetteville Trail Applicant: City of Fayetteville Parks and Recreation Division Address:9l 5 California Blvd Fayetteville, AR 72701 PrimarT Contact.

Project Description The Lake Fayetteville Trail will be approximately five miles long and will circle Lake Fayetteville. Lake Fayetteville, located on Fayetteville's northern city limit, once served as the town's water supply. Now managed by the Parks Division, Lake Fayetteville provides a number of recreational opportunities. The trail head will be located in Veteran's Memorial Park. This park has restrooms, a playground, picnic sites, sand volleyball courts and a large pavilion. The trail will go east through two miles of wooded area that will soon be leased to the OzarkBotanical Garden Society. The Garden Society section of trail will also include a meadow where the botanical garden will be constructed in the future. After crossing Clear Creek at the head of the lake, the trail will travel the perimeter of the Environmental Study Center Area. This area is owned by the Parks Division and operated jointly by the Springdale and Fayetteville School Systems. An environmental study facility is located on this property. At this point the trail will turn back west and go through Lake Fayetteville North Park, through the Lake Fayetteville Boat Dock area, past the Lake Fayetteville Adult Softball Complex and over the Lake Fayetteville Dam. A bridge across the spillway will bring the trail back to the Veterans Memorial Park area. The length in distance of this trail will be approximately five miles and the length of time involved in this project will be approximately four to five years. The Parks Division is currently contracting with a design firm to assist in conducting public meetings with the many groups interested in this project. This firm will also provide the Parks Division with a site inventory, analyze aerial surveys and USGS quad maps to provide a base map and facilitate the discussions of goals, objectives and pertinent issues. They will assist the Parks Division with actual trail location, trail surface material selection and will prepare conceptual cost estimates. At the completion of the conceptual design phase, the project will be divided into prioritized phases. Through the city's Engineer/Architect selection process a firm will be chosen to do the actual design and specifications for all phases. Each phase will then be bid and constructed separately. This grant request is for matching funds for the actual design and specifications phase and for the first phase of construction. 2. Primary Purpose of this trail project. The primary purpose of this project will be to provide for new trail construction. However, all of these purposes will be accomplished. -Three fifths of this trail will be new construction. -Badly washed areas of the existing trail east of Veterans Memorial Park will be restored and the trail rerouted. -The current trail east of Veterans Memorial Park and in the area of the future botanical garden will be improved, upgraded and in some cases, relocated to protect flora in the area and also to provide access to a greater number of guests to the interpretive areas of the garden. -Benches, vista clearing, bridges and information boards will all be included in this trail project. 3. Uses Bicycling - this use will be explored through the public hearings and a determination will be made as to its appropriateness. It is our hope that bicycles can be accommodated while disturbing the areas as little as possible. Day Hiking - A five mile trail with many interesting stops will provide a full day of hiking activities. The interpretive opportunities on this trail will be limitless. With the passage in November 1995 of a lYo Hotel, Motel, and Restaurant Ta:< there were additional funds available for capital projects. Begrnning in 1996 the Advisory Board began to set aside a portion of this fund for the construction of the Lake Fayetteville Trail. This project originally began as a project to be completed by our many active volunteer groups. With the realization of the scope of the project and the technical requirements of the bridges and accessibility issues, the Advisory Board voted to go through an initial planning and concept phase. Also with the realization of the cost of the bridges the decision was made to try to accommodate as many types of users as possible. An extensive review process will be undertaken in the initial concept phase not included in this grant request. This trail is not on the Arkansas Trails Council's Arkansas Trails System. Funding Funds available for the matching amount include $50,000 in HMR tax revenue budgeted in the City of Fayetteville 1996 Capital Improvement Program and $50,000 budgeted in the 1997 CIP budget. An additional $50,000 has been budgeted in 1998, $100,000 in 1999 and $100,000 in 2000. Each year the future CIP budget is looked at and reprioritized if necessary. This will be done as conceptual cost estimates for each phase are completed. IO.

Jogging, cross country running, strolling, and walking are all fitness activities that can be accommodated on this trail Page 103 of the Arkansas SCORP plan. The development of more multiple use trails to increase trail opportunities and reduce maintenance costs. There are a number of undeveloped trails in the immediate fifty mile area, but no existing multi- use trails. This will give Fayetteville, and the surrounding communities, trail opportunities for a wide range of users. The trail will be designed from the outset with future maintenance in mind. One of the main reasons we are hiring a professional trail design firm is to design and construct this trail to make future maintenance as efficient and cost effective as possible. 5. Safety During the concept phase of this project safety of trail users will be a number one priority. Consistently high design and construction standards will address trail guest safety. The City of Fayetteville has already made a commitment to safety with the addition of city bicycle police patrols on the existing trail. This will be expanded as the trail is developed. Conflicts between different uses will be addressed as the goals and objectives of the project are identified through the public hearing process. 6. Maintenance Maintenance will be the responsibility of the Parks and Recreation Division. This facility will be added to our curent maintenance schedule. General operating budgets will be increased yearly to fund the expanded maintenance program. During the high use season (April - October) maintenance checks will be performed daily. During the lower use season, maintenance checks will be made on a weekly basis. Items to be checked on a regular basis will include - trail surface, bridge integrity, Iitter, vandalism, tree condition, and invasive plant control. No snow removal is planned. 7. Planning Process The City of Fayetteville Parks and Recreation Advisory Board has been approached by a number of individuals and groups over the past several years expressing an interest in a multi-use trail around Lake Fayetteville. lr) @ N zo N tr,elrJJ o Id O)@ \ \ AEt-d\ r/) hN NIS3NVI UO tt'J ? zoaz lrJ- 33vOU3HC trJY 5 +) q) Dd E\+{ I \ \ \ \ lrJ E,o <v *o uo n +N e\ trJ E FtrJ t.r. +s :Pot-. a) e-J cJ.(i?a) *J s) sad ..1 L---- t(\t \ \ \ L---l \ \ \ \ -1 \ \ -r I I I I I I I I I.-l I I I I I I I L /c l^d Nl xvo $ "'2"t '2-2"" zIN u0 -l3gv9 z YTTTT\/ LAKE FAYETTEVILLE 1/4 1 000 BAR SCALE FAYETIEVILLE, AR}<ANSAS 2000 FEET 1 /2 M|LE M !LE \ --- -- ,j'- 1!
