Trails Coordinator Date: March 28, 2007 Subject: Request for a resolution approving the Engineering Division to submit an application for an 80/20 matching grant through the Arkansas Recreational Trails Program. Recommendation: Staff requests a resolution approving the Engineering Division to submit an application to the Arkansas Highway and Transportation Department for consideration of an 80/20 matching grant through the Arkansas Recreational Trails Program for an award of up to $100,000.00. Background: At the eastern end of Mud Creek Trail near Old Missouri Road there is currently no sidewalk or trail connecting Mud Creek Trail to the neighborhoods to the south and Butterfield Trail Elementary. The proposed trail project for grant funding includes 1,236 feet of 10' wide concrete trail connecting the existing sidewalk on the south side of Sweetbrier Dr., north along the east side of Old Missouri Road over the existing road bridge then down and under the same bridge to cornett to Mud Creek Trail. The lanes of Old Missouri Road will need to be narrowed from the existing 30 foot width to 24 feet wide (two 12 foot wide lanes). In addition a concrete median barrier will be installed across the bridge to separate pedestrians from vehicles as they cross the bridge. This project will provide a safe route for pedestrians and bicycles to access Mud Creek Trail and Scull Creek Trail while reducing the cost by utilizing the existing bridge and providing a grade separated crossing under O'd Missouri Road. The project wi'I comply with tne Americans with Disability Act. Discussion: We have received more requests from the citizens of Fayetteville for this trail connection than any other area. If awarded, the funding would be used to complete this important 1,236 foot trail connection. In the future, this trail connection will be extended east along Sweetbriar Drive to Sweetbriar Park where a new trail will follow Mud Creek past the new fire station at Hwy 265 and Old Wire Road and extend to Gulley Park. A resolution from the City of Fayetteville is required to apply for funding through the Arkansas Recreational Trails Program. To comply with the grant application requirements, the resolution must include specific criteria and language. A sample provided by the Arkansas Highway and Transportation Department has been included, as an attachment to this memorandum. Budget Impact: If approved by City Council, the grant application will be submitted for a total amount of $100,000.00. The terms of this grant require a local sponsor or municipality to provide funding for 20% of the total project cost. Upon receipt of an official Notice to Proceed from the Arkansas Highway and Transportation Department, the project would be reimbursable at the rate of 80%, which for this project would be estimated at a total reimbursement amount of $80,000.00. Sufficient funding not to exceed $20,000 for the City's portion of this project will need to be budgeted for 2009 in the Trail Development Project, within the Sales Tax Capital Improvement Fund. During the 2007 grant cycle. the City of Fayetteville was awarded $33,600 for replacement of a bridge on Mud Creek Trail and tne City will be responsible for the 20% match or $6,720. RESOLUTION NO.
