Department of Public Works
Subject Big Dry Creek
Bicycle Master Plan
Charles Esterly, Director of Public Works
~ ACTION PROPOSED
Staff seeks Council approval of a bill for an ordinance implementing an Intergov~rnmental
Agreement with the Ci)' of Littleton and ~uth Suburban Park and Recreation District to
•
fund the preparation of the Big Dry Creek Bicycle Trail Master Plan. This ordinance would
also authorize the Mayor to sign the intergovernmental agreement.
PRE'.'1005 COUNCL ACTION
City Council previously authorized staff to support the City of Littleton in their
Transportation Improvement Plan application to the Denver Regional Council of
Governments for a bike trail along Big Dry Creek . City Council also agreed to provide
match money when the project is funded .
BACKGROUND
With the implementation of the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act, the
Denver Regional Council of Governments accepted applications for allocation of Federal
Funds under the Act . The City of Littleton submitted an application for a bicycle trail
connecting the South Platte Trail with the Highline Canal Trail along Big Dry Creek. This
alignment passes through Belleview Park and the ECIC (Cameron) project in Englewood .
The application was accepted and included in the Transportation Improvement Plan .
SIAFF ANALYSIS
The staffs of Englewood, Littleton, and South Suburban have met to discuss the status of
•
this project: several times over the last few months . The staffs are in agreement that it is
desirablr !lave a master plan prepared before funds are contractually committed to the
cities . ·,.,e advantages of having a master plan prepared now include:
Pr m1ed on Recycled Pa1M1 :;
1.
2.
When nnds are made av,:tllal:,le, we can proceed with final design and construction
quicJcly .
This funding category was underfunded in 1993 creating a backlog of projects .
Having I ct·mplete d master plan may enhance chances for future alloc.tions of
funds .
3. If federal economic incentive programs include ISTEA, we may be in a better position
to con p ete for newly availarle funds .
A disadvantage to preparing a master plan now is that fund~ expendP.d will probably not
be reimbursed or accepted as local match money for this project.
Staffs of all thre. entities have reviewed a proposal prepared by Urb,,n Edges, Inc . and are
in agreement they should be retained to prepare the master plan. The Cities of Englewood
and Littleton will share the cost of the master plan and South Suburban will provide
in-kind services . Littleton will contract with Urban Edges and be reimbursed through the
proposed intergovernmental agreement.
FINANOAL IMPACT
•
According to the agreement, Littleton and Englewood will F..hare equally the cost of
preparing this master plan, in the amount of $8,457.50 each . If the entire amount
contributed by Englewood is not expended, the remaining amount shall be refunded .
Funds are available for this project in the currently approved 1993 Parks Division budget. •
