Subject: Deliberation and possible action to forward recommendation on the use of golf carts or other motorized vehicles on or across public park land and/or trails funded through the Safe Routes to School grant.

1. Background / History The City Council, at the July 5

th Council meeting, took action to refer an agenda item

before them to the Parks and Recreation Commission for further review. The item concerns the use of golf carts or other motorized vehicles on or across public park land and/or trails funded through the Safe Routes to School grant. Residents in the Garlic Creek neighborhood are transporting their kids using golf carts on the trail to Elm Grove Elementary School. Currently, the City has an Ordinance in place specifically prohibiting the use of motorized vehicles on park land and trails. The City Council requested the Parks and Recreation Commission explore the feasibility of constructing another path for the express purpose of golf cart traffic. A copy of the agenda item considered by City Council is attached to this item for review. 2. Findings/Current Activity City Staff contacted KSA Engineers for professional services in providing a feasibility study for another path. KSA Engineers was the firm that designed the existing trail and assisted the City in applying for funding through the Safe Routes to School program. The study will include items such as:

x Determination of route layout

x Identification of permitting agencies

x Cost estimate for construction

x Estimate of completion schedule

At this point, the Commission is charged with exploring the feasibility of another trail and forwarding a recommendation to City Council for consideration. Representatives from KSA will be present at the July 20

th Commission meeting to

discuss preliminary cost estimates and related to issues concerning a proposed trail. 8

Existing Ped Bridge

Ped/Cart Bridge Option 1Most convenientto golf carts

Ped/Cart Bridge Option 2Less convenient togolf carts, but createsbetter pedestrian loopas part of trail system

From trail planning perspective,would be most logical location options for a pedestrian bridge given desireto connect Cullen Country Park and acquisition of White Oak Preserve, but ignores the golf cart convenineceissue

The scope of the Greenbelt Trail Connection to Jackson Tyler Norris Memorial Skate Park has been split into two phases with Phase One initiating on FM 967 just south of FM 2770 and terminating at Goforth Road. Phase Two will be incorporated in the future drainage improvements of the Bond initiative passed last November and will connect Goforth Road to the existing sidewalk just north of Bella Vita on FM 967. The approved budget, originally, for this CIP was $120,000. Phase One improvements cost estimate is approximately $88,000, based on cost estimates provided by UPRR and the contractor.

The City Council will consider executing a Public Highway At-Grade Crossing Agreement with Union Pacific Railroad at the June 7th City Council meeting. The agreement will provide the City authorization to construct and maintain the sidewalk and associated improvements on railroad property. Some preliminary site work has already been completed including forms for the sidewalk and installation of three (3) light poles. Once the agreement is executed by the City and UPRR, the contractor will be permitted to complete the project.

The Public Highway At-Grade Crossing Agreement has been executed by the City and Union Pacific for the project. TF Harper and Associates is coordinating with UPRR to complete right of entry documentation and necessary proof of insurance.
