Resolution 2011 -040 County Road E federal application <br />Page 2 <br />Department may be interested in partnering on an off street shared use path on Lake Johanna <br />Boulevard to Tony Schmidt Regional Park and the Elmer L. Andersen Memorial Trail. Staff <br />contacted Greg Mack at the Ramsey County Parks Department and asked if they would be <br />interested in partnering on a trail connection from the County Road E bridge to Tony Schmidt <br />Regional Park and the Elmer L. Andersen Memorial Trail. Mr. Mack was supportive of the <br />application and committed that if the project is chosen, the local share of their segment would be <br />eligible for funding under the Metropolitan Council's Capital Improvement Program and the <br />County intends to request matching funds through that program. <br />Staff has been preparing an application for the Transportation Enhancement Program (TE) for an <br />off street shared use trail from the County Road E bridge to Tony Schmidt Regional Park and the <br />Elmer L. Andersen Memorial Trail. A map of the project is attached for Council review <br />(Attachment A). The application deadline is August 22, 2011. <br />Transportation Enhancement Program (TE): <br />Amount of money in this pro'ram to be awarded: Undetermined <br />Maximum award available for each project: $1 million <br />Purpose and Vision: Transportation- related activities designed to strengthen the <br />cultural, aesthetic and environmental aspects of the nation's intermodal transportation <br />system. The TE program provides for implementation of non - traditional transportation <br />projects. TE funds are directed toward projects that preserve historic, archaeological, <br />scenic and environmental resources related to surface transportation, and to facilitate <br />bicycle and pedestrian use. Parks and open space preserve natural resources and provide <br />a wide variety of recreational activities. Trail corridors are intended to provide for <br />recreational travel along linear pathways throughout the metropolitan area. <br />If the Council supports this application, a resolution of support is required (Attachment B). <br />Financial Implications <br />The maximum award available for each project is $1,000,000. The TAB reserves the right to <br />partially fund any project. The local (nonfederal) match in funding for any project must be at <br />least twenty percent (20 %) of the total project cost. Project construction and materials, right of <br />way and land acquisition are all eligible costs. Engineering, study completion and design are <br />not eligible for reimbursement. This project would be eligible for State Aid funds for the local <br />match, as well as for engineering, up to 25% of construction costs. If the City Council chooses <br />not to allocate State Aid fund to the project, then an alternative funding source will need to be <br />identified for the local match and all engineering fees. If funding is obtained through this <br />process, funds would be available for construction in fiscal years 2015 and 2016. The sunset <br />date for completion of projects awarded funding is March 31 of the year following the original <br />program year established by the TAB. <br />The preliminary estimate for this project is a total project cost of $1,521,302.51, including <br />engineering. The City portion of the project is approximately 2,850 feet from the bridge on <br />County Road E, extending onto Lake Johanna Boulevard to the border of Tony Schmidt <br />Regional Park. The County's portion of the project is approximately 1,400 feet and extends <br />from the Elmer L. Andersen Memorial trailhead east to the border of Tony Schmidt Regional <br />\\ Metro- inet. us \ardenhills\PR &PW\Parks\Memos \Council Memos\Memo to CC re - Res 2011 -040 County Road E federal application080811.doc <br />
