Explanation
§ The West Mallard Creek Church Road Multi-Use Path is a 0.75 mile bicycle and pedestrian concrete path on West Mallard Creek Church Road between West Mallard Creek Road and Claude Freeman Drive in Council District 4.
§ The project includes a 12-foot sidewalk, planting strip, several new Charlotte Area Transit System bus stops, and pedestrian accommodations along Claude Freeman Drive and David Taylor Drive.
§ On May 30, 2018, City Council adopted a resolution allocating $1,273,000 from State Transportation Alternatives and State Transportation Alternatives Direct Attributable funds for the construction of a pedestrian and bicycle path.
§ The project budget increased with the design change to use concrete in lieu of asphalt for added longevity and lower life cycle costs.
§ The total project budget is $3,485,000 and is composed of:
- $1,612,000 in 2016 Bond funds from the Sidewalk and Pedestrian Safety program,
- $1,273,000 in State Transportation Alternatives and State Transportation Alternatives Direct Attributable funds,
- The Charlotte Regional Transportation Planning Organization approved $600,000 in additional grant funds to be provided by the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) in supplemental Surface Transportation Block Grant (STBG-DA) funds.
§ The STBG-DA funds require a local match of $150,000. The 2016 bond funding from the Sidewalk and Pedestrian Safety Program will be used to cover this match.
§ The West Mallard Creek Church Multi-Use Path project is in the real estate phase, and construction is expected to begin in late 2020.
