BACKGROUND:
During the budget process the City Council Staff recommended that $500,000 be budgeted for improvements to
the Trail de Paris and the parking lot for the Sports Complex. The Council authorized the funds but opted to wait
until later in the budget year to determine where the funds would actually be used.
The reason we asked for funds for the trail was due to the large cracking and shifting of sections of the trail
making it hazardous particularly to bicycle traffic. There are also a number of drainage and erosion issues that
need to be addressed. The section of the trail with the highest priority is from S Collegiate to SE Loop 286 due to
the large cracks and high bicycle traffic volume. The second priority section is from 12`" SE to Collegiate due to
the trails poor condition. Since budget preparation the section from SE Loop 286 to the east city limits has begun
to show some large cracks as well.
The Sports Complex parking lot was included due to the overall poor condition of the paving and ADA concerns.
Public Works crews make numerous repairs throughout the active season and the paving is in such a condition
that it is difficult to stripe causing congestion and safety issues. We are also concerned that the parking lot may
not meet ADA requirements.
We recommend that the city retain the services of a design firm to develop a plans and specifications for
addressing the rehabilitation of the trail including the section from the Loop to the east city limits. We would
also recommend hiring a design firm to at a minimum address the ADA issues at the parking lot if the Council
does not want to address the entire parking lot at this time.
