AGENDA ITEM TITLE:
Consider approval of Resolution No. 2987 declaring the eligibility of the City of Muskogee to submit an application to the Oklahoma Department of Transportation for use of Transportation Alternatives Program Funds set forth by the Infrastructure Investments and Jobs Act ("IIJA") for the N. 12th Street Sidewalk TAPS Grant Project in the City of Muskogee and authorizing the Mayor of the City of Muskogee to sign the application, or take other necessary action. (Mark Wilkerson)
BACKGROUND:
This proposed off-street 8-foot wide super sidewalk connects bicyclists and pedestrians across the major thoroughfare, Shawnee Bypass, and to the entrance to a major shopping center to the north for better access to the groceries and other services via N 11th St.
Benefits
Connects to the existing Centennial Trail
Provides a dedicated, enhanced facility crossing across Shawnee Bypass
Provides a key connection from a large neighborhood to major commercial developments
Considerations
Where right-of-way is constrained in the parkway, shared lane markings can be utilized
At major road crossings, enhanced marked crosswalks should be used
Four locations are marked on the project map as requiring extra design attention
Existing drainage along both the east and west side of N 11th St will need to be maintained with the addition of a proposed at-grade sidewalk
The engineer has updated the engineer's estimate to reflect increases in contingency and inflation allowances. The current estimated cost of construction for the project will be $1,140,800 of which the city would be responsible for 20% or approximately $230,000.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve Resolution
Fiscal Impact
FUNDING SOURCE:
If awarded ODOT-TAP will provide 80% or $912,640 towards the total estimated cost of $1,140,800.
The City of Muskogee would be responsible for 20% or $228,160.
