Consider and act upon approving the Minutes from the February 27,2012 meeting. Board Action Board Member Price made a motion,seconded by Board Member Robas to approve the minutes from the February 27,2012 meeting. A vote was taken and passed 7-0. 2. Consider and act upon Bold Barbeque Vendor Application-to raise funds via barbeque sales,vendor sales, and concerts benefiting the Wounded Warrior Project at Olde City Park July 7,2012 from 11:00 a.m.— 8:00 p.m. Board Discussion Superintendent Diaz contacted Adam Diebold,event coordinator and owner of Bold BBQ,and advised him that the July Jubilee could possibly conflict with his proposed Wounded Warrior Event,therefore he should meet with the Wylie Downtown Merchant Association(WDMA). Mr.Diebold and the WDMA are currently in the process of discussing the possibly of coordinating the Wounded Warrior Event as an added element to the July Jubilee. Since a date for the July Jubilee has not yet been determined, Superintendent Diaz recommended the board to approve allowing the Wounded Warrior Event to be held at Olde City Park with a"to be determined"date so that that Mr. Diebold can move forward with his event planning. Chairwoman Hiney asked Superintendent Diaz if other vendors would be attending the July Jubilee,and he stated that the Parks and Recreation Department has not issued vendor permits in the past for this event as the vendors were set up downtown in the streets and not in our parks. Board Action Board Member Robas made a motion,seconded by Board Member Harris to approve Adam Diebold's vendor registration with a date that is to be determined. A vote was taken and passed 7-0. DISCUSSION ITEMS 3. Community Park Project Update Board Discussion On March 25, Superintendent Diaz met with PARD members to inspect progress of the Community Park project. Only Superintendent Diaz,Member Rose and Citizen Lance were in attendance. Superintendent Diaz advised of good construction progress at Community Park considering the heavy rains in the area during the previous week. At this point the project has incurred 28 rain days,which has caused the park completion date to be pushed out to late April. Member Rose and Member Harris feel as though the 28 day rain delay should not affect a delay for Community Park's initial completion day and that the final schedule is not reflective of what is actually going on at the construction site. It is their opinion that the contractor could be more efficient by phasing out the construction of the fields along with the laying of sod. Member Price asked what fields would be available for games in April. Superintendent Diaz advised that the goal is to have a place for the kids to play baseball this season. At Community Park there is access to the existing t-ball fields,4 new backstops installed on the eastside of the park,as well as temporary fields that can be set up on the field behind the old location of Smith Library. Other options being considered include Founders Park,possibly the Wylie high school fields,and Breckenridge Park in Richardson. Superintendent Diaz advised the Board Members that he will obtain more clarification from the contractor in regards to the final schedule and address the topic of phasing out the fields. He will also get confirmation on the use of alternative game fields. Superintendent Diaz will then email the Board Members with that updated information. 4. Recreation fees and Childcare age 7-11 Program at Wylie Recreation Center update. Board Discussion On April 10,2012, Superintendent Diaz plans to present two items to Wylie City Council;first a narrowed down version of the various ideas presented at the February 27,2012 Board meeting,pertaining to the Recreation Center's fee schedule. Second,an update regarding the Wylie Recreation Center childcare for ages 7-11 programs. Superintendent Diaz advised that Recreation Center staff recommends increasing the minimum age of children requiring memberships from 3 years old to 7 years old. This is due to the fact that unaccompanied children under 6 are not allowed in the facility. They would also like to raise the adult rate from 17 and older to18 and older. Justification for making this change is the fact that a 17 year old still requires the parent/legal guardian's signature on the waiver. Superintendent Diaz feels that both of these suggestions would not likely decrease revenue and would in turn improve upon customer service which could actually encourage membership renewal. Superintendent Diaz would like to receive input from City Council in regards to amending the current family membership maximum of 4. He discussed with the Board that staff would like to pursue an unlimited family membership option but he is not sure how it would be best to manage this. Superintendent Diaz is planning on presenting the different scenarios suggested at the last PARD meeting to City Council in April. Member Robas is concerned that by implementing the staff recommendations,revenues would decrease,facility expenses would increase and the Recreation Center could become a burden to taxpayers. Chairperson Hiney advised that the Recreation Center was never intended to be a money maker,nor that its revenue would break even with its expenses. Member Rose recommended that the Recreation Center keep the family membership of 4 at$325 but implement a discounted rate to additional family members within the same household at 40%each. Member Ward was in agreement with Chairwoman Hiney,and he is opposed to the idea of an unlimited family membership because it would be very difficult to manage proof of residency and that relying on the honor system would not be effective. Member Harris agreed that the membership age requirement be changed from age 3 years to age 7 years.He also requested an update of where the Recreation Center is at in regards to revenue since the new year has begun. Member Harris requested input from Park Board Secretary Interim,Janet Hawkes,in regards to changing the Recreation Center's current fee schedule. Secretary Hawkes also currently works at the Recreation Center as a Front Desk Guest Service Specialist. She advised that she personally has received few negative responses in regards to the current fee structure. On occasion she receives complaints about the Recreation Center's Family Membership not accommodating larger families and/or not having discounted fees for additional family members. She told the Board that she is often asked if there are plans to increase the current membership rates. Superintendent Diaz advised the Board that there was some increase in numbers in regards to the 7-11 Program. However,the 7-11 Program is not being overwhelmingly used despite a lot of advertising going into this program. Various ads went out in the Recreation brochure,Connection magazine,Wylie newspaper and the Wylie newsletter. The 7-11 Program is currently available for children ages 7-11 on Tuesday and Thursday from 4:00 p.m.—9:00 p.m. and Saturday from 9:00 a.m.—12:00 p.m. Minutes March 26, 2012 Wylie Parks and Recreation Board Meeting Page 2 of 3 Superintendent Diaz stated that if the 7-11 Program were to be discontinued,an option would be to expand the current childcare program to include 7 year olds. Member Harris asked Secretary Hawkes if she thought members utilizing the current program would be upset by increasing the childcare numbers to include 7 year olds. Secretary Hawkes advised the Board that she does not work in the childcare rooms at the Recreation Center and therefore could not give an accurate response to that question. She did state that for safety reasons most members do not drop off their 7 year old to be alone at the Recreation Center,unless with an older sibling,so members with a 7 year old would likely utilize the childcare programs more readily. Superintendent Diaz stated that in April he will provide the Board with the most up to date Wylie Recreation Center revenues for their review at the Parks and Recreation Board regular meeting. He will also look to move the fee discussions with Council to May 2012. The 7-11 Program,however,will need to be presented to City Council as planned in April as it is primarily an update of its progress. ADJOURNMENT There being no further business a motion to adjourn was made by Board Member Rose and seconded by Board Member Harris. The meeting was adjourned at 7:45 p.m.by unanimous consent.

Recommendation To approve the conceptual neighborhood park plans for the Forrest Ross property and Pheasant Creek Park prepared by consultants Teague Nall and Perkins, Inc. Discussion The consulting firm of Teague, Nall and Perkins, Inc. began working on the concept plans for parks on Forrest Ross property and Pheasant Creek Park in 2011. A public input meeting and Board update on the project was held in August 2011. The consultants and staff meet numerous times to review the concept plans for each park. Two meetings were held with representatives of the North Texas Municipal Water District and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers regarding the Forrest Ross property. Input gathered at those meetings was used by the consultants and staff for the final conceptual design. The attached designs and cost estimates are the final product submitted by Tim May and Chris Seely with Teague, Nall and Perkins, Inc. Staff will answer any questions regarding the design and cost estimates. These concept plans will be used by staff, Board, and City Council on future development of the Forrest Ross property and Pheasant Creek Parks.

Recommendation,,,,,,,, N/A Discussion Staff will review construction progress at Community Park with the Board. Attached to this agenda report is the construction schedule from JC Commercial that was first reviewed at the March 2012 meeting. Based on constant communication with the consultants and contractor, the schedule reviewed in March has not changed. Some of the items have progressed quicker than expected and some items have had to move further out due to weather, but the target completion date to complete the project is still at the end of April 2012. Staff is working with Wylie Baseball/Softball Association on use of fields at both Founders and Community Parks to keep the season moving. Staff has established a weekly status meeting with WBSA officials that began early April to keep league officials apprised of the project. Staff has also been working with the Public Arts Advisory Board and an update on the progress of the art for Community Park can be made by the Board appointed representative, Board Chair, Anne Hiney.

Staff will be reviewing the actual revenues from the opening of the Wylie Recreation Center February 1,2011 to April 2012. Staff will also review the projected revenues from both FY 2011 and for FY 2012 with the Board. Staff reviewed the Wylie Recreation Center 7-11 childcare program with the City Council at their regular meeting on April 10, 2012. The Council directed staff to continue the program as is, with adding the additional day hours in the summer months, and then bring back to Council for review in August 2012. Staff will review with the Board updated data on the program prior to taking it to City Council for review.

The current Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Master Plan, prepared for the city in 2010, identifies the need for developing hike &bike trails as the highest priority for outdoor facilities in the city.Although the park system already includes a certain number of park-related trails, the overall network is fragmented; therefore, a safe, accessible network of trail connections between neighborhoods, parks, and key city destinations needs to be strategically developed. As a commitment to meeting these needs,Wylie city leaders hired the design team of landscape architects and planners from Dunaway Associates, Bowman-Melton Associates, and Land Design Partners. This collaborative team began working with the Parks & Recreation Department to further study the feasibility of a citywide trails network. The primary emphasis of this study has been to target four main areas of focus identified by city leaders as being central to citywide trail development. They include: • Trails along Greenways &Utility Corridors • Trails along Lake Frontage • Trails along Roadways &Parkways • Trail Gateways &Intersections The Trail Master Plan is intended to become a tool that city officials can use to plan and coordinate future improvements for trails and associated infrastructure by various city departments. As this plan is implemented, citizens of Wylie will be afforded more mobility choices in connecting to city destinations, as well as increased opportunities for outdoor exercise and recreation. >> +k • , 4", ,F ;`:c ' I / .y O` • +I ' y �- { '!�I` �.�,�,�1T /Ple,it, *i - i .... ., r I ' ls and pedestrian connecti '"" `� - - Trails Master Plan 3 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS CITY COUNCIL CONSULTANT TEAM Eric Hogue, Mayor Dunaway Associates M.G.

In general, development of this trail network plan was achieved using a three-phase approach. Phase 1 —ANALYSIS • Data Gathering&Base Map Preparation • Site Review/Existing Conditions • Opportunities &Constraints Phase 2—PLANNING • Conceptual Trails Network Plan Phase 3—RECOMMENDATIONS • Preliminary Trails Master Plan • Final Trails Master Plan City Staff, the Parks &Recreation Board, and Wylie citizens were also engaged in key meetings to review progress and offer input to the planning process. PHASE 1 -ANALYSIS Data Gathering&Base Mapping As an initial step, members of the consultant team met with an Advisory Committee that was appointed by the Parks & Recreation Board. The purpose of this meeting was to establish the goals and objectives that would guide the team throughout the master plan process. Among the goals and objectives, the Advisory Committee expressed the overall desire to create a safe, well-connected trail network for both pedestrians & bicyclists to use in connecting various destinations throughout the city (municipal complex, retail, neighborhoods, parks, schools, historic downtown, etc.). It was also highlighted that a key component to this network of connections should be to incorporate the Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Plan concept of "Embrace the Lakes". The design team then began gathering digital data from the city as well as a number of public sources to create a base from which to proceed with mapping. Data gathered included aerial photographs, land uses, thoroughfares, utilities, easements, floodplains, county trail plans, city limits, property parcels / ETJs (Extra-Territorial Jurisdictions), and existing trails, among others. During this process, the consultant team identified the need to develop the city's first known GIS (Geographic Information System) base map. Each layer of data was digitally compiled using GIS software to create a database for use, not only in this master plan,but also in future planning efforts. Other sources of information related to trail development were also reviewed,including the city's current Parks,Recreation&Open Space Master Plan,the existing Thoroughfare Plan,and drafts of the current Comprehensive Master Plan in progress. Site Review/Existing Conditions A critical step in the analysis phase included the consultant team and Advisory Committee conducting a city-wide site tour to visually evaluate and document current conditions of the existing trail system, and to review key zones which may require particular attention in the planning a . i I; / t ,; , process.This review was an important step in familiarizing the consultant , _ _ team first-hand with each of the four focus areas throughout the city,and `�4 l in capturing high level input from citystaff and the AdvisoryCommittee. t The team documented the tour using digital photography,and recorded L - general observations regarding key aspects of the existing trail system. An additional site trip was conducted by the consultant team to further determine the feasibility of significant crossings and trail routings. Municipal Complex Preserve Trails Master Plan 6 PLANNING PROCESS During the site visits, the team made special note of the Municipal Complex area.This property has already begun to serve as the"civic heart" of Wylie and will likely continue to do so as development continues in and around the property. As described in the Parks, Recreation and Open Space Master Plan, city leaders have expressed favor for the "Low Impact Scenario" of planned development at the Municipal Complex. I I This scenario endeavors to preserve the natural character of the site and --40I to create passive recreational areas including an amphitheater, protected meadow / habitats, and a trail system throughout the property. With '0"/ f a utility corridors and adjacent neighborhood parcels left open to the east, a wide abandoned road corridor leading to the south, roadside sidewalk connections to the north, and parkland connections to the west, the opportunity for connecting this civic resource to a citywide network of trails has great potential. Municipal Complex While the Municipal Complex serves as Wylie's "civic heart", Founders Park and Community Park serve as the "activity centers" of the city. These parks primarily focus on athletics, but have incorporated a trail system to support park activities. The team toured recent renovations at Founders Park, which includes some trail development internal to the park and the potential to complement future trail network connections. In addition, the team noted that these parks are fairly centrally located within the city limits and hold a greater capacity for parking than smaller neighborhood parks.These"activity centers" have potential to become trailhead type access points within the larger trail network. Other community parks of note which were evaluated by the design team included Valentine Park and Olde City Park.These parks,although much smaller than the nearby athletic parks,will be important considerations in linking Wylie parks through a citywide trail network. Connecting future trail users to key retail and tourist destinations is •� also important. The team toured the city's major retail development ,t _r -�: zones following Kirby Rd. (FM 544), including the newer Woodbridge "' . Crossing development, through to the historic downtown and along '� • � - Hwy. 78, a primary retail / industrial spine. In general, segments of "—: �' — Pena •roadside sidewalks are in place in front of newer retail developments but there is a need for wider, shared use trails to serve the same development40. e areas. The design team also toured major thoroughfares in the city that "''*'t are currently undergoing expansion, as well as those currently slated for design upgrade / construction (Stone, Brown, McMillen Rd., etc.). Current and future thoroughfare routes offer opportunities for potential - trail integration along the city roadway system. Unlike any other city in the DFW region, the City of Wylie is situated between two major lakes. City leaders have expressed a unified desire to become a city that will"Embrace the Lakes", and plan for expanded shoreline access for citizens and visitors alike. With this in mind, the Advisory Committee took great care during the site tour to give the design team a thorough overview of current issues and opportunities at the lake edge properties. Currently, the parks along Lavon Lake (Avalon Park,East Fork Park, and Collin Park&Marina) are under the jurisdiction of the USACE (United States Army Corps of Engineers). As such, the parks are gated and may only be accessed through paying a Lavon Lake use fee.In like manner,the shoreline along Lake Ray Hubbard is largely Trails Master Plan 7 PLANNING PROCESS populated by private parcels, making both visual and physical access _ to the lake limited. The two lakes are loosely connected by Skyview . Drive, a narrow, asphalt roadway that runs along the southern shoreof Lavon and southward near the western shore of Lake Ray Hubbard. Public-use trail development at the lakes essentially consists of a well- used equestrian trail system with some parking and a small restroom facilitylocated at the TrinityTrailhead on Lavon Lake.With restricted -__ ~ ' �' t. 1 rl _�. parking provided, access to the existing trails essentially aimed at one _ • user group (equestrians), and limited visual connections to the lakes, • it seems clear that the lake parks are generally underutilized by citizens w of Wylie and its visitors. View across private property to Lake Ray Hubbard During the site tour,committee members also emphasized a desire for connections to the Muddy Creek and Rush Creek riparian corridors. The team toured a number of localized park trails that are in close vicinity to the Muddy Creek corridor, which runs north/south through the west side of Wylie (including Creekside Park, Sage Creek Park, Riverway Park, Woodbridge Golf Club, and Muddy Creek Preserve). The team also toured accessible portions of the Rush Creek corridor which runs north/ south through Wylie's east side. Although existing trail connections along the Rush Creek Corridor are substantially less developed, the Advisory Committee showed the design team potential connection possibilities through Oncor Lavon Park and private developments such as Bozman Farms where partnerships may occur. Both of these major riparian corridors are rich greenbelt resources, and hold the potential to offer future trail users a diverse variety of recreational activities such as bird watching, interpretive areas, nature trails, and picnicking, among others. Muddy Creek Preserve Trails Master Plan 8 PLANNING PROCESS Opportunities &Constraints After the site review with the Advisory Committee,the team summarized the observations on a series of exhibits including: a) locations of existing parks and trails in the Wylie system,as well some key trail connections that exist in private developments / neighborhoods, and b) general opportunities and constraints identified for trail corridor development in each of the four focus areas. Focus Area: Greenways &Utility Corridors Greenways and utility corridors throughout Wylie present the most •- • extensive opportunity for expanding the overall community trail • a network in Wylie (see page 10). The riparian corridors and floodplains along Muddy Creek and Rush Creek have potential to link the city •• _,••�... trail system from north to south across the entire community. These t - greenbelts are unique natural resources, and hold the potential to offer -g ' trail users a variety of recreational activities such as bird watching, ^' — interpretive areas, nature trails, and picnicking. In addition, several - _ • overhead electric corridors,underground utility corridors,and easements provide important open passageways for potential development of trail . connections. NTMWD Pipeline Under Construction With the understanding that these greenway corridors and utility zones provide potential connections throughout the city, safe trail crossings must also be considered. Both at-grade and under-bridge crossings at roadways and railroads were closely examined by the consultant team. Where height clearances of 8' or greater appear to be possible, an under-bridge crossing opportunity was noted. Where height clearances were not available, at-grade crossings were noted. i vier �r ,/ 1 's ,. •�`� b+- -i l ,,e.:4 7 •7J X '-, . -.c. r _r . V• „,...

In an effort to increase access to the lakes and support the "Embrace the Lakes" concept, the design team identified a number of opportunities to connect trail users to (and between) the lakes. This could happen by strategically using a combination of park land partnerships, utility corridors, and trail development along future roadway improvements as identified in the city's current Thoroughfare Plan (see page 12). At Lavon Lake,the three major lakefront parks are currently under ownership of the USAGE with fee access to private areas only. In recent years, the Corps has been receptive to partnering for passive or low impact recreational development along USAGE controlled shorelines. With no other lakefront park lands currently available to the city of Wylie, taking the opportunity to approach the Corps for partnership in developing trails and/or other recreational improvements for public use will be vital to shoreline trail access at Lavon Lake. A number of possible utility corridors / connections are also in place,which could provide other opportunities for lakeside trail connection. Existing overhead electric corridors (ONCOR) and underground water line easements (NTMWD) may provide open pathways linking the western and southern shores of Lavon Lake. Seeking partnerships with these utility agencies should be encouraged as part of the city's implementation of this master plan. Like Lavon Lake, shoreline access to Lake Ray Hubbard has also been historically restricted and difficult to access. A string of private parcels occupy the majority of Wylie's lake shore and interrupt a continuous public corridor from Lavon Lake to Lake Ray Hubbard. However, the city's Thoroughfare Plan identifies long-term development plans for Skyview near Lavon, running along Ray Hubbard's western shore to Alanis. Roadside rights-of-way may become important corridors for inter-lake trail connections, provided they are wide enough for shared-use trails and depending on scheduling of long term improvements. In addition,providing a low-impact,lakeside destination along the shore could be a key initiative in opening the shores of Lake Ray Hubbard to the citizens of Wylie. Given the character of much of the shoreline in this area, there is a unique opportunity for an environmental learning facility to showcase diverse wildlife habitat as well as provide other passive recreational opportunities. •.�J •. vim me • ref.. • _ Trails Master Plan - , .• LEGEND III fi ......... 1 • M ''...,0•••gone • ... ••••., •• ) • I ••„,.. .., us•CE Ptoower 'to**, II.trIcc, te= j ••...T\ .e: 5.6coc , . .. . taahrgYfaill St.Pil lei. . i k — . * Tr.0••••naber• - .%._ •':: 16111114 \ I •••••• i I ...... i .: • --- ..

Itiy .,'-- PLANNING PROCESS Focus Area: Roadways &Parkways City leaders have estimated the growth of Wylie's population at approximately 177%over the past decade. As Wylie continues I i.igi to grow, roadways will become busier and safe access for pedestrians and non-motorized vehicles will be increasingly f,, important. A notable goal of this study is to provide safe, • walkable/bikeable connections to city destinations that are today mostly accessible by motorized vehicles. An important _ = opportunity in developing this master plan has been to integrate . . 1 potential trail corridors with the city's current thoroughfare _ r improvements plan and design standards (see page 14). Old Railroad Corridor Along Highway 78 Although many of the city's major roadway expansions were already under design or construction at the time of this study (e.g., McMillen, Brown, etc.), key roadways in the Thoroughfare Plan were evaluated for opportunities to develop shared- use trails within existing or planned thoroughfare rights-of-way. The team evaluated potential north/south and east/west connectors,as well as long term connectors(Skyview) and available railway corridors. During the evaluation process,the city engineer provided valuable feedback regarding current right-of-way widths,current sidewalk design standards,and potential for future right-of-way expansion. • 0 - — • ntt, .conics ® ob •..a 0e'.. ^�i- _i,• >'�ar'" "P .- - -n • '' 4.- 3.y`�- .160- 0611.111111 - - _ �- _ .. � • i. s !h •t r 1_. �. c y Woodbridge Crossing Retail Area Trails Master Plan 13 ••••• U.-- ----•"7. 2 or ........

""'" 3 * _ Several trailhead / gateway / intersection locations were evaluated by the team as potential trail access points. Primary opportunities, focused more on visitors to the city and connections between major city destinations, were identified along the retail & industrial spines of FM 544 and Hwy 78. Secondary opportunities, focused more on Trinity Trailhead residential trail users and connections to neighborhoods,were also identified (See page 16). While outside the scope of this study, it will be an important step for city leaders to brand a unified city identity program, and develop design guidelines for a range of city gateways, intersections, and trailhead treatments that are unique to the character of Wylie. To conclude the analysis phase, the design team held an interactive work session with the Advisory Committee to review the information gathered during base mapping and the site tour,as well as to discuss trail corridor opportunities&constraints as shown on the analysis exhibits. Feedback received during this work session provided the basis for the next step in the master plan process, an overall concept network plan. 11.111 r ' • _ I!! rum, I o I• • Hwy. 78 @ Ballard Intersection Trails Master Plan 15 -1 ® ... ill:, LtctENo .....L .. nplke. - I •1.). �.i1 yI.

' Advisory Committee Meeting The Advisory Committee stayed involved throughout the planning process and reviewed the overall concept network to provide comments to the consultant team. Once revised, the consultant team held a Park Board Briefing and Community Meeting with citizens to receive input and comment regarding the proposed network plan. Details of this concept plan and planning recommendations are discussed in the next section of this master plan document.

This report was reviewed by the Advisory Committee, Park _ '4 Board, and City Council for revisions to be incorporated prior to _ final review and plan adoption. Once final revisions were made, the consultant team engaged the . Advisory Committee, Park Board, and City Council to review the final master plan recommendations and this master plan as a base guide for future trail segment implementation. Community Meeting Trails Master Plan 17 Planning Recommendations PLANNING RECOMMENDATIONS The planning recommendations in this section are the result of incorporating evaluations made by the Advisory Committee, city staff,Park Board, City Council, and Wylie citizens.The following section provides a description of the goals and recommendations proposed to develop trails in each of this study's Four Focus Areas. While each of the focus areas present a different set of challenges and opportunities, each can be evaluated by the following questions: GOAL: What are we trying to accomplish in this focus area? LOCATION: Where are the opportunities for trail development in this focus area? STRATEGY: How can we accomplish our goals in these locations? PARTNERSHIPS: What other parties might be involved in implementing these strategies? These Four Focus Areas provide a framework for development of a city-wide trail network. Various segments can be strategically implemented annually and in close coordination with other city infrastructure projects. Recommendations regarding trail locations,preferred widths,surface materials,etc. are summarized in the following pages. A graphic summary of these recommendations can be found in the Appendix. Trails Master Plan 19 PLANNING RECOMMENDATIONS Focus Area: Greenways and Utility Corridors • GOAL: _ Utilize greenbelts, drainageways, and utility corridors for trail system connections LOCATION: • Creeks (Muddy, Rush, etc.) • Floodplain Zones " r •Utility Corridors(overhead electric,underground easements,etc.) �+� • tom" '• STRATEGY: %r` ' Identify utility corridors where partnerships may be possible •Newly constructed water district pipeline s':; :•,; • Overhead electric easements '•? • Railroad corridors with open R.O.W. 4 �;:` .• r4• • Other utility easements PARTNERSHIPS: s I .. ' I Encourage private landowners, utility companies, counties, and neighboring cities to partner in developing expanded connectivity in .`- � 'w H'" the trail network Major Greenbelt Trail As valuable natural resources, the greenway corridors through Wylie consist primarily of floodplain and riparian corridors along Muddy Creek and Rush Creek. Coupled with this are several overhead and underground utility easements that provide a number of opportunities for trail network connection throughout the city. The creek corridor and floodplain associated with Muddy Creek _ . offers potential for a major north/south trail connection through the •F • Tt western portion of Wylie. From Parker Road south to McMillen, a ;.,.' '• . T,•• series of parkland trails and partnerships can link the northern edge " "�; �• • • of the city with the larger trail network. From McMillen southward, ; '�, �• new trail segments can connect with existing trails and provide trail D + ' ,• . • users a link with an important cluster of civic destinations -- the • ' r. y1.1 Municipal Complex,Wylie High School,and Founders Park. Within the Municipal Complex itself, a network of shared-use trails, nature trails, and civic destinations have potential to become a signature destination for Wylie citizens and visitors alike. Beyond Founders Park to the south, partnering with neighboring Sachse and private Scenic Greenway Overlook owners can connect this community park destination with one of the longest continuous trail segments in the Wylie system, the Woodbridge Golf Club trails. And, the remote Muddy Creek Preserve in the southern edge of the city limits can be connected through partnerships with private owners in the city's ETJ. In the eastern portion of the city, Rush Creek is another creek corridor that offers the potential for developing north/south trail connections. From Oncor-Lavon Park southward across Stone Rd., and through the Bozman Farms development, partnerships with land developers have potential to link a number of Wylie residents to parkland destinations (Avalon Park, Bozman Farms Park), schools (Akin Elementary, future school sites), and even Lake Ray Hubbard as future lakeside destinations are planned and developed. Trails Master Plan 20 PLANNING RECOMMENDATIONS In the central portion of the city, a series of parkland, partnership, and roadside sidewalk connections can complete an important north/ south corridor from the active school/park hub at Community Park southward. Following drainage easements through the newer Twin j Lakes / Southbrook Park and connecting to an underground sewer easement along Pleasant Valley Road, there is potential to connect trail users to the Muddy Creek Preserve system. Drainageway connection opportunities may also be pursued through partnerships and parkland development from W.A.Allen Blvd. through Pheasant Creek Park, across Troy Rd. to Lake Ray Hubbard. Greenway Trail While creek corridors in Wylie are a rich natural resource, various utility corridors can also play a role in trail network connection throughout the city. Overhead electric easements and unused railroad corridors can provide vital east/west connections. The Municipal Complex can be connected to existing trails at Joel Scott Memorial Park and beyond to the NTMWD (North Texas Municipal Water District) property edge. In the same manner, Avalon Park can be connected through a partnership to the north edge of Lake Ray Hubbard. Additionally, open railroad corridors may present potential for network connections from the city's historic downtown to the Wylie Lakes Park area. Trail development in these greenway corridors and utility corridors will 1.4 fir comprise a large portion of the future trail network in Wylie. Each — proposed segment will have to be evaluated closely to determine site specific trail routing as well as the feasibility of partnering with adjacent land owners for trail development. As future site design progresses, trail corridors in this focus area should be developed within a corridor of 25' (minimum) in width, clear of vegetation or vertical obstructions to allow for greater visibility, and to maintain a wide enough corridor for ease of maintenance and emergency access. Trail in Overhead Electric Easement New trail developments should be designed using materials that respond to the character of the environment through which they are located. Greenway or drainageway trails will likely see heavy use by a variety of users,and should be constructed of a durable material at an appropriate width.Concrete trails at 10'-12'minimum,and 12'-14'preferred width are recommended. Utility easements used for trail development will serve for shared-use, and should also be constructed of concrete, at a 12'- 14' width, and with a thicker profile where motor vehicle traffic is anticipated. Where trails traverse through preserves or ecologically sensitive areas, natural trail materials such as decomposed granite or other permeable materials should be used. Trail widths in the 6'-8' range will likely be most appropriate for most of these areas. It is important to note that these unique trails can serve as a very • important connection to Wylie's beautiful natural resources. Along with typical trail activities like walking or jogging, a range of passive -� / f recreational activities can be incorporated into these trail developments. Facilities that offer picnicking, wildlife viewing, interpretive learning, • and discovery of natural features (overlooks) will add significant - • enjoyment to the city's greenway corridors.

However,with little to no ownership or access to shoreline park land, the city has been limited in its ability to provide citizens and visitors access to the lakes. Evaluating the feasibility of access to Lavon Lake and Lake Ray Hubbard via trails has been an important focus area of this study. By partnering with the Army Corps of Engineers (USAGE) and other utility agencies, a number of trail network opportunities can connect users to Lavon Lake. Through these partnerships, trail users could have access around the entire southwestern shoreline of Lavon Lake from Collin Park along the USAGE-controlled shoreline to the new North Texas Municipal 41111.11 Water District (NTMWD) pipeline easement. Similar partnerships could — provide opportunity to extend a trail connection from the NTMWD pipeline eastward through East Fork Park and Avalon Park to Skyview Drive near the spillway. Across Hwy 78 and continuing south along existing floodplain at the city's ETJ,the trail network can connect Wylie East High School and a potential future environmental learning center with its vast Regional Lakeside Trail wetlands and natural systems at the north end of Lake Ray Hubbard. Strategic recreational use partnerships will be vital in establishing trail connections along and between the two lakes. As these partnerships progress and site specific design is explored, a few guidelines should be kept r in mind. Similar to trail corridors in the greenways focus area, these trail corridors should be developed within a corridor of 25' width (minimum), —" clear of vegetation or vertical obstruction to allow for greater visibility, and to maintain a wide enough corridor for ease of maintenance and emergency access. Also similar to greenway corridors, lake access trails will likely see , • heavy use by a variety of users and should be constructed of a durable ': f, material at an appropriate width. Concrete trails at 12'-14' minimum erg Trails Master Plan 22 PLANNING RECOMMENDATIONS width are recommended. Where soft / natural trails are desirable in this focus area, materials such as decomposed granite or other permeable materials in the 6'-8' width range should be used. Historically,soft/natural trails at Lavon Lake have primarily been used '*It °' - ' by equestrians through the Trinity Trailhead. Equestrian trail access should continue to be allowed in this area and should be designed as separate paths from the primary pedestrian / bicycle trail. Separating u= specialized trail users in this manner will provide Wylie's equestrians a r:` trail experience tailored to their preferred use,and will reduce conflicts 414, between trail users such as pedestrians, bicyclists, skaters,strollers, etc. a Shoreline Trail Trails Master Plan 23 PLANNING RECOMMENDATIONS Focus Area: Roadways & Parkways GOAL: ' p .

While designed to carry such volumes,the current road system is not designed to accommodate bicycles and allow for other non-motorized transportation types. City leaders recognize that integrating trails along roadways and parkways in Wylie is a significant step in a successful trail network, and have prioritized its evaluation as a focus area in this study. Current roadway design standards in Wylie outline a minimum 5'wide concrete sidewalk to be constructed along all new roadway improvements. Although they provide important connections along city roadways, a sidewalk is of insufficient width to be classified as a trail (10' width ,- minimum), and is generally inappropriate for shared-use. However, . , s_ these connectors should not be dismissed. In addition to sidewalks already in place,major roadway projects under design or construction at the time of this study include McMillen, Brown and Stone. Although - • i' they generally meet the 5' minimum width requirement, the existing sidewalks and the new sidewalks built with these roadway improvements 11111 will serve as important minor connectors between wider,shared-use trail segments (creek corridors,lake trails, etc.). Trail in Vegetated Parkway While it is beyond the scope of this study to evaluate the entire sidewalk network within the city, a few key sidewalk connections that should be noted as part of the trail network are: a) north/south along McCreary between McMillen and FM 544; b) north/south along Country Club from Hensley to Parker Road; c) neighborhood sidewalk connections from McMillen to Creekside Estates Park, d) along Westgate Way from FM 544 to Joel Scott Memorial Park; e) along FM 544/ Stone at Ballard,and f) north/south along Ballard from Alanis to the historic downtown area. These existing routes provide residents useable access to the larger trail network. When feasible and R.O.W. is available,these routes should be considered for widening to accommodate shared-use by trail users. Trails Master Plan 24 PLANNING RECOMMENDATIONS To fill the gaps where existing sidewalks are unavailable, trail placement should be considered. Notable connections can be: a) • - east/west along Parker Road from the city limit to Country Club; �-as ,. b) east/west along McMillen from McCreary to Country Club; c) _ along Park Road from Davis Intermediate School to Skyview Drive and East Fork Park; d) along Brown from the municipal complex to the historic downtown and eastward to Wylie East High School; e) along FM 544 / Kirby to the municipal complex and Wylie High School; and, f) along Alanis from Hensley to Ballard and eastward f � y across W.A.Allen to Lake Ray Hubbard. In future trail design where sufficient R.O.W. is available, trails At-Grade Crossing along roadways and parkways should be designed at 10' width (minimum), with a minimum of 3'-5' between the back of curb and inside edge of trail. Where the R.O.W. is narrower in width, 8' wide trails should be constructed with a minimum of 2' between the back of curb and inside edge of pavement. Surfaces along roadways should be durable, and the use of concrete is recommended. To develop this part of the trail network, cooperation and partnership will be required between city officials and other - roadway governing agencies (TxDOT, NCTCOG, etc.), as well as between city departments (i.e., engineering, planning, parks, etc.). Where feasible, city engineering should pursue acquiring additional �--- R.O.W. and approach private land owners for potential partnering along roadside property edges where R.O.W. is not available. AIIMPflatio As part of developing trails along roadways will come the issue of providing safe crossings where trails intersect with roadways or railroads. In the condition that height clearances of 8' to 10' can be achieved, underbridge crossings should be constructed. Security Under-bridge Crossing lighting, overhead clearance height signage, speed limit signage, and guardrails are typical safety measures that should be incorporated when designing these crossings. Where these height clearances are not achievable, safe at-grade crossings should be incorporated. A large number of design approaches exist to demark at-grade trail crossings and give them distinction for both motor vehicles and trail users. Some combination of decorative paving, accent lighting, decorative bollards, and landscape enhancements would be appropriate to be considered here. In general, key guidelines to follow when considering site specific at-grade crossing design include: a) crossing the roadways at a perpendicular angle, b) aligning accessible ramps with the trail route rather than at a 45-degree angle to traffic, and c) promoting visibility of trail users to drivers and vice versa by creating a simple, yet distinct visual difference between the trail route and regular vehicular route.

As key parts of the overall - system, trail gateways and intersections are a vital piece of the Wylie \ v. •- Trail Network. Trail Gateway Monument Three major trail gateway/intersection points are identified in this plan. The intersection of several trails, sidewalk routes,and prominent civic destinations at FM 544 / Kirby and Country Club provide an important gateway opportunity for the trail system. In the same manner,the intersection of trails,schools,neighborhoods,and a destination park with ample parking at the Community Park could provide a gateway and major trailhead in the Wylie system. Last,a series of trails coming together just north of Eubanks &Hwy 78 could serve to be a signature trailhead and gateway to the lake trails. As supporting elements, a number of minor trail gateway / trail - - - intersection points are represented as well. These include the -�f , - • • , - s following: a) McMillen at Muddy Creek where trail users from the ,; neighborhoods might access the Muddy Creek greenway segments; k' b) McMillen at Country Club - a decision-making intersection in f i '� lye wayfinding to adjacent trail segments; c) Park at Birmingham Farms and Park at Westgate - strategic trailhead connectors between two schools and residential neighborhoods; d) Country Club at Brown- a - major intersection leading to the municipal complex; e) Hwy 78 at - '°" Woodbridge Golf Club a connector between two major portions of ,‘„ ,- -- — the Wylie greenbelt as well as potentially to the neighboring Sachse - � trail system; f) Woodbridge Golf Club at Sachse Rd. - a key north/ - - - - -_ ----- + south connector along the Muddy Creek greenbelt;g)Brown at Ballard Gateway to Trail System and Hwy 78 at Ballard-bookends to the city's historic downtown; h) Skyview at Forrest Ross,Skyview at East Fork Park,and Skyview at Avalon Park—all gateways to Lavon Lake;and i)just north of Troy at Alanis along Rush Creek—a potential future gateway to Lake Ray Hubbard. Major trail gateways and intersections primarily provide easy access for users to various segments of the trail system. Additional features may sometimes include motorized vehicle parking, bicycle racks, shade / pavilions, seating, drinking fountains, restrooms,fitness stations,emergency call boxes,lighting,interpretive signage,landscape enhancements,decorative paving,and public art amenities.As a minimum,it is recommended that an informational kiosk with trail map and wayfinding information be provided.Also recommended are seating,shade,and other rest amenities as appropriate to the specific trail gateway site. Trails Master Plan 26 PLANNING RECOMMENDATIONS Minor trail gateways and intersections are often comprised of a ;- )e a combination of rest amenities and wayfinding elements. As , , r•, a ,r recommended for major trail gateways, minor gateways should v ,.•": feature a wayfinding signage / kiosk that is part of an architectural I +� i'r i- family of elements consistent throughout the trail network. In addition to this, a typical minor trail gateway should include seating, shade, and paving enhancements. , The city should also consider major branding opportunities for 4 arriving motorists. Noted within this plan are both major and minor city identity opportunities that are primarily intended to identify preliminary locations for gateway / city identity opportunities. Trailhead with Parking&Shelter Primary opportunities are located along the Hwy 78 spine at key points throughout the city. These include: • Hwy 78 at Alanis—the city's southern gateway • Hwy 78 at Ballard—the city's historic core ' ;r -• • Hwy 78 at Wylie East Dr.—the city's eastern gateway ' A J Secondary opportunities are located throughout the city. These include: -, • McCreary & McMillen and McCreary & FM 544/Kirby— the city's western gateways - • Parker at FM 1378 / Country Club and Park at FM 2514— the city's northern gateways from St. Paul • Hwy 78 at FM 544/Kirby—the city crossroads 0111111111001— • Alanis at Ballard—the city's southern gateway from Hwy 190 _ • Brown at Wylie East Dr. — a signature intersection and •'. l i potential gateway to environmental learning/lake destination Informational Kiosk at Trailhead • Hwy 78 at Eubanks and Alanis at Troy—the city's gateways to Lavon Lake and Lake Ray Hubbard. , Although beyond the scope of this study, it is recommended that city leaders pursue a unified city identity program, and incorporate - consistent architectural treatments,wayfinding signage,and/or public lj i, 'Atemppliki • ' '1' ` ift.' art to these gateways. k.4, , --1 Iiiiipm „.____. ...ii. ..41___ __... ____ _ ,, , , _ .., _ ..::._ ............„„._- ______„_........ ,,, _ .. Enhanced Paving Treatments Trails Master Plan 27 PLANNING RECOMMENDATIONS Other Recommendations Trail User Safety,Security&Signage A highly active trail system will offer enjoyment for all age groups. As trail development continues throughout Wylie, the trails will host an abundance of walkers,joggers, bicyclists, and skaters. With this in mind, safety of these users becomes a critical component of any trail system. While trails which are used frequently can help provide a measure of safety, they can also present potential for inter-user conflicts. Posting trail etiquette signage at trailheads and strategic locations along the trail system can help curtail some of these conflicts before they occur. It will be important for the city to develop a list of trail rules that address issues particular to the Wylie trails system. Some of these might include: - Be courteous to other trail users at all times; - Keep to the right, except when passing; - Always pass on the left, and give clear audible warning when passing slower traffic; - Avoid congregating on the trail or walking more than two abreast; - Bicyclists should keep speed under 15 mph at all times, and should slow down in congested conditions, reduced visibility, or other hazardous conditions; and - Pet owners should keep dogs on a leash at all times and remove pet waste from the trail. In addition to trail etiquette and courtesy, is the topic of trail user security. To maximize speed for emergency responders to access victims of medical emergency, crime, or other conflict on trails, a growing number of metropolitan cities are adopting emergency locator systems along major trails. It is recommended that the city of Wylie incorporate such a system when implementing this trail network plan. At minimum, sign posts with a location identifier should be placed within view of each other, or no more than about every 1/8 to 1/4 mile to ensure markers are never out of sight of trail users. Each sign should be GPS located and integrated into the city's 911 system. Other security devices that may be implemented where appropriate include trail lighting, emergency call boxes, or surveillance cameras. Just as user security is a critical component to any trail system,other items such as wayfinding,warning and regulatory signs are also important components. Wayfinding signage should be incorporated at trailheads and key intersections throughout the trail system to provide users information and length of route segment. Warning signs should be used only where special regulations apply, at specific times only, or where hazards are not self-evident. The use of warning signs should be kept to a minimum so as to not lose their effectiveness. Integrated Planning Efforts As part of an integrated planning effort,the city should incorporate these trail network recommendations into the city's new comprehensive plan currently under development. By incorporating trail guidelines in the development of overlay districts being defined by this plan,city leaders can ensure that trail development throughout Wylie becomes an integrated priority as part of future city development (e.g., South Ballard, Redevelopment/A.C.T.I.O.N. plans, Lake Development, etc.). As previously discussed, engineering design standards, should be evaluated to incorporate wider roadside trail connection standards than are currently in place (10'width or greater preferred). Inclusion of these design widths early in the planning process can help city engineers ensure that new capital improvement projects are able to allow for space that promotes a trail- user friendly environment along city roadways. To continue support of a growing inter-city network of trail connections,Wylie city officials should meet with the neighboring cities of St.Paul,Parker,Murphy and Sachse to discuss and plan for implementation of partner connections between city trail systems. And, to participate in region-wide trail planning efforts, the City of Wylie should submit their trail network plans to Collin County officials to be recognized by the Collin County Trail Plan. Once on file with the county, other cities in the region can become familiar with Wylie's proposed trail routing and determine if partnerships for future connections can feasibly be pursued.The plan should also be submitted to the North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) to be recognized in the Regional Veloweb/Mobility 2035 planning effort. Recognition by these regional agencies may increase the city's ability to secure supplemental funding sources for implementation. Trails Master Plan 28 PLANNING RECOMMENDATIONS Estimating Cost of Implementation&Funding Sources The current estimated construction cost for a hard surface trail is calculated at approximately $5-$6 per square foot (trail only), or around $316,000 to $380,000 per mile for a 12' wide trail. Depending on the level of recreational elements and amenities added (rest areas, trailheads, etc.), cost of construction for a complete trail project can reach amounts around $1 million per mile of hard surface trail.The cost for constructing a soft surface trail can vary,but for this plan,current costs are estimated at around $4 per square foot (trail only), or around$170,000 per mile for an 8'wide trail. When budgeting for trail improvements, other infrastructure expenditures must be thought through in addition to baseline trail construction costs. At-grade or under-bridge thoroughfare crossings, creek bridge crossings, and varying levels of trail amenities must also be considered. As these costs can vary widely, they have not been estimated as part of this plan. Once a budget number is reached, it is important to consider what funding sources might be available to help the city supplement the cost of trail network expansion.When seeking funding for trails, other cities have had success using a grants coordinator to guide them throughout the application process.The following list identifies potential funding sources for the City of Wylie to strategically pursue. County North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) • Collin County Parks and Open Space Program • Transportation Enhancement Program • Dallas County Trail and Preserve Program • Sustainable Development Calls for Projects • Regional Tollway Revenue Funding Initiative State of Texas Federal Transportation Funding Sources • Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) • Highway Bridge Replacement and Rehabilitation Program -Recreational Trail Grants • Highway Safety Improvement Program -Boating Access Grants • National Highway System • Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) • Surface Transportation Program -Safe Routes to School Program • Federal Transit Administration Programs • State Energy Conservation Office • Interstate Maintenance -Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant • Transportation and Community and System Preservation Federally Funded Programs that include Bicycle and Pedestrian Opportunities • U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development - Community Development Block Grant • U.S.Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) • U.S. Department of Interior (USDOI) -National Parks Service's Rivers, Trails and Conservation Assistance Other Sources of Funding for Trail Development • Land Trusts • Communities Foundation of Texas • Meadows Foundation • Recreational Equipment, Inc. • Foundation Directory On-Line • Private Donations Partnerships with Volunteer Groups Trails Master Plan 29 PLANNING RECOMMENDATIONS Conclusion By undertaking this plan,the City of Wylie has taken an important step in creating a city-wide network of trail connections, which has potential to become one of the great assets of its recreation and transportation system. Having garnered enthusiasm from city leaders and citizens, Wylie is well postured to begin implementing one or more of the proposed trail segments.A coordinated effort with other city departments will ensure funds are directed to the common vision for Wylie. While this plan provides guidance for locating trails in each of the city's primary focus areas, site-specific alignments should be viewed as flexible and adjustable as needed to work with the objectives of residents, business owners, and developers. by taking steps to implement this trail plan,Wylie city leaders can work towards providing safe,healthy transportation choices and recreational opportunities for its citizens and visitors alike. t+ kv. 4 ,'i • yam' 1 >;. • !. i �'�' '. 2. x ;✓ vNl c1��;4 a •� t �^' ,.., ,Y 13.4:111r. es� _>r _ cw yL_ � :�" � .• k+' h�+. #-,,4... :•44,.14.`..0'' 4 4 =RF ,. . k f I n ,,�y r, 9Ta U7a .r r % ♦. _x 2.{ysY �"'A.,,r''*•It.,• r. i ir,,s ` ..
