Recreational Access Grant Application ()
February 8, 2000
At the January 18, 2000 Parks and Recreation Commission meeting, the members
unanimously approved a recommendation to apply for an $18,000,100% funded,
Recreational Access Grant from the Virginia Department of Transportation.
Applying for this grant became necessary when the bids for the ISTEA bikeway
project came in at an amount greater than the allocation for the project. This is a
result of the cost estimates being prepared over seven (7) years ago and the project
not being bid until this past November. Therefore, we reduce the scope of the
ISTEA project contract to allow for the completion of the trailless 400 ft. lineal ft.
This grant would enable us to complete the remaining 400 lineal ft. of bikeway at no
cost to the county.
I have attached a resolution which would be required to be included with the grant
application indicating the Board of Supervisors' support for the project.
If you require any additional information, please contact me.
