Box 2261 Little Rock, AR 72203-2261 RE• Project Application — FFY 2002 City of Fayetteville Priority No. 1 — West Mud Creek Trail Priority No. 2 — Pedestrian Facilities Dear Mr. Walters, Enclosed please find two (2) completed applications for the FFY 2002 Arkansas Transportation Enhancement Program (TEA -21). These applications are prioritized in accordance with the application instructions. The first priority application is for the completion of the West Mud Creek Trail. This multi -use trail is a priority need for north -central Fayetteville and has been completed in segments due to funding constraints. This application shall enable the completion of the trail system, and will allow users to realize the highest and best use of the system. The West Mud Creek Trail, final segment, has been designed, all rights-of- way secured and the plans/specifications approved by the Arkansas Highway and Transportation Department. This project may be released immediately for construction bids once the requested funding is awarded. The second priority application, Pedestrian Facilities along Gregg/Lawson/Sixth Streets, is also enclosed for consideration. This project involves the construction of adequate sidewalks in critical areas near Fayetteville Public Schools. The high volume of students walking to and from schools, coupled with the needs of the adjoining neighborhood, has rendered these sidewalks the second highest priority of the community. Due to the serious safety issues involved, this project will also be promptly completed once needed funding is secured. 113 WEST MOUNTAIN 72701 501 521-7700 FAX 501 575-8257 Lt W M • • Mr. Robert Walters Arkansas Highway & Transportation Dept.

Responses should be limited to the space provided. PROJECT DESCRIPTION Describe the project in detail below The description should not be lengthy; it should contain short and concise statements. Attach an 8.5" x 11" map, suitable for facsimile transmission, showing the project location. Also, attach a preliminary detailed cost estimate. The project is to construct a multi -use trail from Front Street to Steele Boulevard. The trail is planned to be 12 feet in width and approximately 5,376 linear feet in length. The trail is designed to meander along the south bank of Mud Creek, taking care to avoid disturbing existing trees. The trail will be constructed utilizing a surface tread of 3" thick asphalt and 6" thick aggregate base on top of compacted sub -grade. Construction details of the trail will be consistent with AASHTO recommended design standards. This trail segment will be an extension of the East Mud Creek Trail that has already been funded and has just completed the bidding process. A portion of the West Mud Creek Trail will also utilize previously approved Federal funds for multi -use trails within the City of Fayetteville and City funds specified for trail development. This project will provide an important east -west connection between residential neighborhoods of Fayetteville and a consumer shopping area. The project will also be visible to many visitors who travel Highway 7IB and shop in the area around the Northwest Arkansas Mall. This trail corridor is also identified on the City of Fayetteville Proposed Master Trail Plan, which is currently in the final public comment phase. A-2 • PROJECT APPLICATION -- FFY 2002 ARKANSAS.

This whole area has become heavily commercialized with one of the busiest traffic intersections in Arkansas nearby. I know of no way for a child to safely access this area. The construction of the Mud Creek Trail will make it possible for neighborhood and retirement village residents to access this shopping and business area safely on foot or bicycle. c This trail will be the first step in a useful commuter trail for something other than an automobile - a trail that serves much more than just a recreational purpose. This trail has the potential to be one of the most important additions to Fayetteville's future as it will provide for a safe and feasible alternative to automobile travel. Thank you for your consideration, and I look forward to using this trail with my family and scout troop as a way to access this area safely without depending on our automobile. Sincerely, Wade C. Colwell 501 Forest Fayetteville, AR 72701 c44 October 22, 2001 Dear Arkansas State Highway and Transportation Department, I'm so happy to learn that you are helping Fayetteville become more bicycle and pedestrian friendly with the extension of the Mud Creek Trail I'm an Arkansas native, but lived in Gainesville, Florida, for a few years. Gainesville was very bicycle oriented with bike paths EVERYWHERE, even on major thoroughfares, enabling a person to use a bike as a viable means of transportation. Yes, I realize the climate and the topography make it much easier to build and use bike paths in Gainesville, but I feel that we shouldn't view those as obstacles, but challenges that can be overcome and used to our advantage. Fayetteville is a beautiful city that can be enjoyed and experienced even more from a bicycle or on foot than in a car. Thank you for helping to make it possible.
