CITY COUNCIL MEMO
SUBJECT: 2018-0174 Recreational Trails Program — Fulbright Tunnel Improvements
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends 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 Department of Transportation Recreational Trails Program for an award
of up to $88,000 to be used for improvements of the Fulbright Expressway Tunnel section of the
Razorback Greenway.
BACKGROUND:
A section of the Razorback Greenway passes under the Fulbright Expressway through a 10 -
foot -tall by 10 -foot -wide concrete box culvert tunnel that was installed with the expressway
construction for the stream flow of Scull Creek. In 2008 this box culvert was converted for
pedestrian and bicycle use to safely pass under N. Futrall Dr., the Fulbright Expressway, and N.
Shiloh Dr. The box culvert tunnel was originally constructed for stormwater without knowledge
of the future trail; therefore, the tunnel is constantly wet and uncomfortable to trail users.
DISCUSSION:
To create a dry and safer experience for users of the Razorback Greenway, staff has designed
a new elevated concrete floor to be placed through the entire 685 -foot length of the tunnel. A
side channel is planned to carry the seeping water along the east edge to a storm drain on the
north side where it will be routed to Scull Creek. A flood study is underway by staff engineer,
Alan Pugh to comply with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) requirements
for adding the new floor to the tunnel. The proposed improvements would be bid to a private
contractor for an estimated to cost of $110,000.
Projects are now being accepted for the 2108 Recreational Trails Program administered
through the Arkansas Department of Transportation. The proposed improvements to the tunnel
under Fulbright Expressway would be an eligible project for funding up to 80% with a 20% local
match. The Recreational Trails Program has been a substantial program for trail funding over
the years (see funding history below).
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 $22,000. Funding for the match has been
budgeted through the Transportation Services Department trail development program for trail
maintenance.
