SUBJECT: 2017-0104 Transportation Alternatives Program Application — Wedington Bridge over 1-49 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 Transportation Alternatives Program for an award of up to $500,000 for costs incurred with the widened bridge over 1-49 at Wedington (Hwy 62) and associated trail improvements to accommodate pedestrians and bicycles. BACKGROUND: In September of 2016, resolution 173-16 approved .a cost -share agreement with the Arkansas State Highway and Transportation Commission to add a pedestrian and bicycle shared use path to the Wedington Bridge over 1-49 with the City's portion of the cost not to exceed $415,000.00. Staff requests approval to apply for funding of the cost share amount plus associated trail improvements with the Wedington project through the Transportation Alternatives Program through the Arkansas State Highway and Transportation Department. DISCUSSION: The bicycle and pedestrian components of the Wedington project are eligible for funding through the Transportation Alternatives Program administered through the Arkansas State Highway and Transportation Department. Since the grant program is administered through the Arkansas State Highway and Transportation Department the grant process will be streamlined to simply alleviating 80% of the City cost share funds to the project. BUDGET/STAFF IMPACT: If the Transportation Alternatives Program grant is approved and fully funded, the City will be responsible for 20% of the total project cost, or up to $125,000. The 20% matching funds are available through the Transportation Bond Program that have been dedicated to the cost share agreement.
