support, the Northeast Texas Trail project will be leveraged with $220,000 local <br />money. <br />Status of STIP: * Not currently in a STIP <br />Status of Environmental Review/Approval: * Don't expect any environmental issues <br />because of previously disturbed right of way. No land acquisition or relocation <br />needed. <br />Estimated Construction Completion Date: * 12/31/2011 <br />Estimated Total Project Cost (Design + ROW + Construction): *$18,975,599 <br />Estimated TIGER Grant Funds being Requested: *$18,755,599 <br />Project Type: * <br />(select at least one project type) Highway or Bridge (Construction or <br />maintenance of a highway or bridge) <br />Transit (Construction or maintenance related to public transportation, such as <br />commuter rail or buses) <br />Rail (Passenger or freight rail) <br />Port (Sea or inland) <br />Other <br />A 130-mile non- motorized pedestrian, bicycling, and equestrian Trail <br />construction <br />Selection Criteria <br />Long Term Outcomes Addressed by the Project: * <br />(Identify applicable project criteria and include a brief description in the text box.) <br />State of Good Repair <br />Between Farmersville near Dallas, Texas, to New Boston near Texarkana, Texas, lies <br />a sprawling unused, railway corridor that has been abandoned for years. It is <br />currently being used for junk disposal, and unlawful 4-wheeler usage has created <br />deep ruts and crevices through the corridor causing corridor erosion and flooding <br />on it and adjacent property. In some areas trees and shrubs have encroached the <br />entire corridor making it almost impassable. The intent of this trail project is to <br />recycle this 130-mile corridor into a pristine pathway for usable non-motorized <br />transportation. This trail will further enhance the natural beauty of the landscape by <br />preserving historic sites and protecting wildlife and plant life. <br />2 <br />- „.,.,155 <br />
