ARKANSAS MEETING OF JUNE 20TH, 2017 TO: Mayor and City Council THRU: Don Marr, Chief of Staff Chris Brown, City Engineer FROM: Matt Mihalevich, Trails Coordinator DATE: June 20th, 2017 CITY COUNCIL MEMO SUBJECT: 2017-0347 NWARPC Transportation Alternatives Program Application Cato Springs Trail Lighting RECOMMENDATION: Staff requests approval of a resolution expressing the willingness to apply for federal -aid funds and allow staff to apply for an 80% federal 20% local matching grant through the Northwest Arkansas Regional Planning Commission Transportation -Alternatives Program for an award of up to $280,000 for lighting of the Cato Springs Trail. BACKGROUND: The Northwest Arkansas Regional Planning Commission (NWARPC), serving as the NWA Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), is accepting applications for projects and trail lighting is eligible for funding. The funding amount is $490,000 for the metropolitan area. DISCUSSION: The Cato Springs Trail is currently under construction extending 2.9 miles from the Town Branch Trail to the Kessler Mountain Regional Park. Due to budget constraints, lighting was excluded from the project. The electrical design is complete and electrical conduit is being installed in preparation for future lighting. If the requested funding amount is approved, lighting can be installed along the entire trail length to the Regional Park. 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 $70,000. The 20% matching funds are available through the Trail Development Capital Improvement Project. Attachments: NWARPC — Call for Projects FFY 2018 Cato Springs Trail Map Mailing Address: 113 W.
