Page 1 of 2 AGENDA ITEM – 1B MEMORANDUM DATE: November 15, 2021 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers Dave Perrault, City Administrator FROM: David Swearingen, P.E. Public Works Director / City Engineer SUBJECT: Feasibility Study – Proposed Trail from Lake Valentine Road to CR-96 Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount: Funding Source: $0 $50,000 (estimate) PIR Fund Council Should Consider Council should consider a Feasibility Study of the proposed trail segment along Old Highway 10 from Lake Valentine Road to County Road 96. Background The corridor for the proposed trail segment can be seen in Attachment A. This trail would be a 6,500-foot North-South connecting segment along Old Highway 10 from Lake Valentine Road to CR-96. At the southern end of the corridor there is an existing trail segment along Lake Valentine Road near Valentine Park and the City has 95% design plans for a trail segment on the West side of Old Highway 10 from Lake Valentine Road to County Road E2. Towards the middle of the trail corridor, there is another connection on the south side of Parkshore Drive as part of the senior living development. At the north end of this corridor the trail would meet the existing trail that extends along Old Hwy 10 at the interchange of CR-96. The feasibility study will provide information of what is involved if this trail were to be designed and constructed, such as, existing conditions with utilities (Public and Private), drainage, environmental challenges, estimated costs and project funding sources. It would also include some Public involvement to identify needs or issues from their feedback. The feasibility report does not commit the City to construct the trail but puts the City in position to pursue funding opportunities when available.
