RECOMMENDATION: The Recreational Trails Grant is administered through the Arkansas Highway and Transportation Department and has been the most substantial grant program for trail funding over the years (see history on next page). For the 2012 recreational trail grant application, staff has selected a 1/2 -mile long section of paved trail along the south side of the existing park road along the north side of the Marina connecting to the North Shore Disc Golf Area. Currently this section of road is shared between trail users and vehicles presenting safety concerns especially as the use of the Lake Fayetteville continues to increase. The northern portion of Lake Fayetteville Trail including this section of trail will be part of the 36 -mile Razorback Regional Greenway and this project would bring this section of trail up to the quality standards of the rest of the Greenway. Since this section of trail is part of the Razorback Regional Greenway, the project may also be eligible for additional private funding. BUDGET IMPACT: If the grant is approved for the full amount requested, the City will be responsible for 20% of the total project cost, or $20,000.00. If approved by City Council, the $20,000.00 for the City's portion of this project will be budgeted though the 2013 Trail Development Project, within the Sales Tax Capital Improvement Fund. The total estimated cost for the trail project is $200,000.00. To complete the project, approximately $80,000.00 additional will need to be funded by a separate grant through the Walton Family Foundation or with City funds.
