Resolution - Parks and Recreation:
Consider a resolution supporting and authorizing approval of an application by the City of Lubbock Parks and Recreation Department to the Texas Department of Transportation's Transportation Alternatives Set-Aside Program, for the Canyon Lakes Primary Shared Use Path (SUP) Trail Project.
Item Summary
In December 2022, the Texas Department of Transportation announced a statewide Call for Projects for Transportation Alternatives Set-Aside (TA) Program funding. The federal appropriations under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), total approximately $250 million. Projects selected for funding through the TA Program require a local cash match (80/20).
This Call for Projects features a two-step application process. The Preliminary Application (Step 1) provides high-level proposed project information to determine eligibility and funding opportunities. Following successful completion of Step 1, a Detailed Application (Step 2) provides more comprehensive project information.
The parks and recreation department is proposing an approximate 14-mile shared use path (SUP) through the canyon lake parks and future Lake Seven. This SUP was recommended in the 2022 Parks, Recreation and Open Spaces Master Plan.
City staff submitted the Preliminary Application (Step 1) and the application was moved to Detailed Application (Step 2) by TxDOT. The Detailed Application is due on June 5th, with notification of final award in the Fall of 2023.
Fiscal Impact
This grant is an 80/20 match with a total estimated project cost of $18.2 million. If the department is awarded this grant, and the grant is accepted and approved by the Lubbock City Council, the City's match will be approximately $3.64 million.
