MEETING OF JULY 21, 2015
TO: Mayor and City Council
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO
THRU: Jeremy Pate, Development Services Director
FROM: Chris Brown, City Engineer
DATE: July 2, 2015
SUBJECT: Approval of a Payment to the Arkansas Highway and Transportation
Department in the Amount of $170,000 for the Additional Cost of a shared use path
across the Highway 112 Bridge over 1-49
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff and the City Council Transportation Committee recommend approval of a cost share with
the AHTD in the amount of $170,000 for the additional cost of a shared use path across the
Highway 112 Bridge over 1-49.
BACKGROUND:
The AHTD, as part of their 1-49 improvement program, is planning to widen the bridge on
Highway 112 (Garland Avenue) to 5 lanes. The plan presented at a public meeting in
September 2014 included 5 12 -foot wide travel lanes, with 5 -foot wide bike lanes on either side
of the road, along with 6.5 -foot wide sidewalks.
Subsequent to the meeting, staff presented a cross section to the AHTD, using 11 -foot wide
travel lanes and no bike lanes; with a reallocation of the lane width and bike lane space to a 12 -
foot wide side path along the west side of the road.
DISCUSSION:
In a letter dated June 18, 2015, the AHTD responded to the City's request by providing a
proposed section with a 14 -foot wide side path and 5 -foot wide buffer area, and requesting the
City's participation in the extra cost of the shared use path, which the AHTD calculated to be
$170,000. Staff reviewed the proposal, and presented it to the Transportation Committee at
their meeting on June 30th. It should be noted that the original cross section proposed by the
AHTD, is 86'2" total width, and the currently proposed cross section is only 6 inches wider than
that at 86'8", so it would appear that the cross section is essentially the same. However, due to
the importance of this shared use path, as a bicycle and pedestrian route across 1-49, and a
connection between trails on either side of I-49, the Committee recommended approval of the
cost share amount as proposed.
The Committee also requested consideration of a parapet wall between the roadway and the
shared use path. I discussed this with the AHTD; their response was that design standards do
not require a wall, and that while an additional solid concrete wall is not necessary, there may

be other considerations for separation of pedestrians/bicyclists and vehicles. Staff will continue
to pursue this item with the AHTD to develop solutions that may be able to be incorporated into
the design.
BUDGET/STAFF IMPACT:
The City, through an existing cost share agreement with the AHTD, is participating in the cost of
this project, with a budgeted amount of $4.2 million. The City's agreement stipulates that the full
cost of right of way and utilities, and $1.5 million towards the construction cost of the section of
Highway 112 between North Street and Janice Street (the recently completed segment) will be
paid to the AHTD by the time construction on the Highway 112 interchange begins. The actual
amount to be paid under this agreement is $4,015,000; therefore, $185,000 is available to pay
for this additional cost share request.
