BACKGROUND: Phase I of Clabber Creek Trail was built in 2007 connecting 0.65 miles from Hosta Drive east to Rupple Road. Clabber Creek Trail is shown on the Fayetteville Alternative Transportation and Trails Master Plan connecting east to Shiloh Trail. The next phase of Clabber Creek Trail will extend 0.75 miles east from Rupple Road to Holcomb Elementary and Gary Hampton Park. A small portion of the Clabber Creek trail will be located adjacent to Salem Road. This grant application would potentially fund the trail bridge construction and would connect to the existing sidewalks along west side of Salem Road. Currently, the Salem Road bridge is only wide enough to accommodate vehicular traffic and pedestrians are forced out into the roadway in order to cross. This creates a dangerous situation for pedestrians and motorists alike and is specifically unsafe for children and parents walking to and from nearby Holcomb Elementary and Holt Middle Schools. The eventual completion of the Clabber Creek trail will connect many adjacent neighborhoods through the extensive sidewalk network and also provide a safe way for children to walk or ride their bikes to school. The completion of the rest of the Phase II Clabber Creek trail is anticipated in 2016. DISCUSSION: The Safe Routes to Schools Grant Program offers infrastructure project funding for qualifying projects with no matching funds necessary. Since this segment of Clabber Creek Trail will connect Holt Middle School to Holcomb Elementary School, this trail bridge project fits the goals of the grant very well. A resolution showing support for the project from the City Council is required as part of the grant application. This trail bridge will be of steel construction with a concrete deck 12 feet wide.

These sidewalk segments will connect neighborhood children to Holcomb Elementary and Holt Middle Schools. This area of the City has seen significant development in the last decade with many residential housing units built in the immediate area around these schools. The ability for parents and children to be able to safely walk to their neighborhood schools is critical. This missing segment of sidewalk will provide an essential north south pedestrian connection in this area. The residents of this neighborhood are overwhelmingly in support of this sidewalk connection and are grateful to the Safe Routes to School Advisory Committee for consideration for this grant.
