| BACKGROUND: |
This Resolution has been drafted to authorize the submission of a Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) grant application to the Wyoming Department of Transportation to fund the Dalbey Park to Gillette College Pathway, Phase I Project. This Project includes the construction of a new pathway at the Fishing Lake and improvements to the existing crossing that goes under the South Douglas Highway, as shown in orange on the attached exhibit, named Dalbey-College pathway- phase 1. This is the first phase in the construction of a pathway to the Gillette College. The continuation of the pathway is shown in blue on the attached exhibit named Dalbey park to Gillette College pathway. This future segment will utilize property recently purchased by the Hladky family from Robert Barlow.
The grant is in the amount of $312,000 and the local match is $78,000. Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) grants are funded on a reimbursement basis and all invoices must be 100% paid by City of Gillette prior to reimbursement through Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) (80% Federal Reimbursement). |
