BACKGROUND: Currently 8 miles of the 40 mile Fayetteville trail system includes lighting. The Razorback Regional Greenway sections include lighting from the beginning point south of Walker Park extending 5 1/2 miles to the north side of the Fulbright Expressway. Many trail users have expressed their desire for expanding the lighting north along the Razorback Regional Greenway and east along the Mud Creek Trail to Old Missouri Road. In a 2015 trail user survey, expanding the trail lighting ranked as the fourth most desired improvement to the trail system. As one of the first trails constructed in the city, the Mud Creek Trail has numerous businesses destinations, many of which are open all hours of the day and night. The inclusion of trail lighting will provide safe and accessible way for employees and customers to access these business destinations all hours utilizing the trail. Mud Creek Trail also serves a large residential population who use the trail regularly for recreation and transportation. A recent count on Mud Creek Trail showed an average of 365 trail users per day during the months of March to April of 2016 with a peak of over 2,000 users on April 1St 2016. Two major apartment buildings are under construction adjacent to Mud Creek Trail and once open will provide an estimated 635 units or 1,270 new residents to the area that will be able to enjoy the trail during all hours with the addition of lighting. The proposed trail lighting project would include 3.2 miles of new trail lighting at an estimated cost of $625,000. This estimate includes approximately 174 new LED light fixtures matching the Mailing Address: 113 W. Mountain Street www.tayetteville-ar.gov Fayetteville, AR 72701
