SUBJECT: 2019-0269 Transportation Alternatives Program — Rupple Rd. Trail Lighting
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 - Transportation Alternatives Program for
an award of up to $500,000 to be used for installing lighting along the Rupple Road Trail from
Persimmon St. to Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. (Hwy 62.)
BACKGROUND:
The Rupple Road extension from Persimmon Street to Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. (Highway
62) was opened to the public in November of 2016. This important connection includes a 12 -
foot -wide trail on the west side running the entire 1.8 -mile distance. Because this road was built
through and undeveloped area, the trail and roadway are very dark at night. The Rupple Road
Trail is the north south backbone trail for the west side of town and serves as a primary active
transportation route and is already experiencing significant use. Including lighting along the trail
will expand the hours of use and increase the safety of the trail and adjacent roadway.
DISCUSSION:
The Arkansas Department of Transportation is currently accepting applications for funding
through the Transportation Alternatives Program. Trail lighting an eligible item for this program
and could provide 80% funding for installing trail lighting along the Rupple Road.
BUDGET/STAFF IMPACT:
The total estimated cost for the lighting installation along the Rupple Road Trail is $625,000. If
the Transportation Alternatives Program grant is approved and fully funded, the City will be
responsible for 20% of the total project cost, or $125,000. Funding for the match has been
budgeted through the street sales tax funds for Rupple Road.
