MEMORANDUM
March 1, 1996
TO: Curtis E. Hawk, City Manager
FROM: Kim McAdams, Director of Parks and Recreation
SUBJECT: ISTEA Grant Application
Resolution 96-15 Southlake Hwy 26/Cottonbelt Trail
The NCTCOG and the Texas Department of Transportation called for Intermodal Surface
Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) projects January 24, 1996. These grants are funded 80%
federal funds and 20% local funds. Our local funds would come from the half -cent sales tax. The
state highway department manages and builds the projects and the City must agree to maintain the
project. After consulting with the staff at NCTCOG, our Trail System Master Plan and area cities,
I have been working on several projects.
This project is the Southlake Hwy 26/Cottonbelt Trail which includes 500 feet of a ten foot wide
hike and bike trail along the Cottonbelt Railroad from Brumlow south to Big Bear Creek and a
bridge to cross Big Bear Creek. This would contribute to the connection between Colleyville and
Grapevine. Grapevine already has a grant for the trail along the Cottonbelt Railroad from downtown
to Pool Road (Brumlow). Colleyville is applying for a grant this time for the trail along the
Cottonbelt Railroad through their city. Total cost is $240,000, City's 20% share is $48,000.
Attached is the resolution for the City Council to authorize application of this project.
Please put on the City Council agenda for March 5, consideration of this resolution for an
ISTEA project.
If you have any questions please contact me at 481-5581, extension 757.
