DATE: February 17th, 2017
SUBJECT: 2017-0106 Recreational Trails Grant Application — Gulley Park Trail
Improvements
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval of a resolution expressing the willingness to apply -for federal -aid funds and allow staff
to submit an application of an 80% federal 20% local matching grant through the Arkansas
Recreational Trails Program for an award of up to $500,000 to be used for trail improvements
in Gulley Park.
BACKGROUND:
The Fayetteville Active Transportation Plan and the Northwest Arkansas Regional Bicycle and
Pedestrian Master Plan identify the East Fayetteville Loop as a high priority trail. This 3.31 -
mile trail is composed of sections along Old Wire Road through Gulley Park and along the
Niokaska Creek to connect to the Mud Creek Trail at Old Missouri Road. Improvements are
currently under way along Old Wire Road and designs are being development to extend bicycle
and pedestrian facilities along Old Wire Road to Gulley Park. The in-house trail construction
crew plans to build the section of Niokaska Creek Trail through Gulley Park and on to Mud
Creek Trail in 2018.
While the trail crew is working on the Niokaska Creek Trail through Gulley Park they plan to
also reconstruct the dilapidated asphalt trails in Gulley Park and replace them with new 8 -foot
wide concrete and trail lighting. The Recreational Trails grant funding will be used to
supplement funding for the in-house trail construction crew to build of both the main Niokaska
Creek Trail and the loop trails within Gulley Park.
DISCUSSION:
The Recreational Trails Program is administered through the Arkansas State Highway and
Transportation Department and has been a substantial program for trail funding over the years
(see funding history below). For the 2017 funding cycle, staff would like to submit an
application for funding 80% of the cost of trail improvements within Gulley Park.
Mailing Address:
113 W. Mountain Street www.fayetteville-ar.gov
Fayetteville, AR 72701
BUDGET/STAFF IMPACT:
If the Recreational Trails Program grant is approved and fully funded, the City will be
responsible for 20% of the total project cost, or $125,000. The labor costs for the city in-house
trail construction crew is eligible to count toward the 20% city match. Funding for the match has
been budgeted through the Parks Development Program for community park improvements.
