BACKGROUND: The Active Transportation Plan was adopted on April 7th, 2015 as Resolution No. 81-15 and last updated on May 17th, 2016 with Resolution No. 107-16. The current master plan addresses trail access along the 1-49, MLK Jr. Blvd. and Persimmon corridors. With the recent acquisition of the 228 -acre Centennial Park, additional access is desired with a focus on connecting Millsaps Mountain to Kessler Mountain. One of the performance metrics of the grant for the land purchase is to update the Active Transportation Plan to improve bicycle and pedestrian access in the area surrounding the newly acquired land. DISCUSSION: The Fayetteville Active Transportation Advisory Committee met on May 9th, 2018 to develop the proposed amendments to the Active Transportation Plan and unanimously recommended to forward the amendments to the Transportation Committee. On May 29th, 2018 the Transportation Committee reviewed the amendments and unanimously recommended forwarding to the City Council with a recommendation of approval. On June 41h, 2018 the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board also reviewed the proposed master plan amendments. The proposed Active Transportation Plan amendments are shown on the attached map as proposed trails in purple and proposed on -street linkages in yellow on the attached map. The specific changes to the Active Transportation Plan are listed below. 1.) Upgrade the on -street linkage to a shared use paved trail along the north side of Old Farmington Road from Rupple Road Trail east to Shiloh Trail. This route was previously shown as an on -street linkage, but the committee felt that an added level of protection was needed so a separated shared use paved trail is recommended to provide a more comfortable trail experience. Mailing Address: 113 W. Mountain Street www.fayetteville-ar.gov Fayetteville, AR 72701 2.) Addition of a shared use paved trail Connection along the west side of One Mile road from the previously described Old Farmington Road Trail south to MLK where users can cross at the existing signal to access the future Tsa La Gi Trail. 3.) Addition of a shared use paved trail spur from the existing section of Shiloh Trail south of Persimmon Street to provide a direct trail connection to the Centennial park land at Millsaps Mountain. 4.) Upgrade of the on -street linkage connection on the existing paved road from Old Farmington Road to the Centennial Park land. The committee recommended this on - street connection have a protected component especially for the comfort of the uphill users. 5.) Inclusion of a new on -street linkage from the proposed on -street linage along Dinsmore Trail following the existing street where it turns east up the hill to the west park boundary. 6.) The current active transportation masterplan shows an on -street bicycle connection from Old Farmington Road through the Centennial park land to Mountain Ranch Road near Technology Way. The proposed amendment would trim out the portion of this connection within the park and shift the section near Old Farmington Road to the existing paved park entrance road. The internal bicycle connections within Centennial Park will be evaluated with the master plan for the park.
