Briefly Describe Project Purpose: The purpose of this project is to create a welcoming environment for our children to travel to and from school via bicycle or foot in a safe manner. Our intent is to implement a Safe Routes to School Program (SRTS) that is comprehensive in scope and nature. Through our proactive partnership, the City of Wylie, the Wylie Independent School District, and community members have developed a forward thinking plan that focuses on three high priority needs. The primary priority is to encourage all K-8 children to walk and bicycle from home to school at a higher rate of frequency. The secondary priority is to develop safe pedestrian and bicyclist travel routes throughout the community that appeal to the m asses. This priority focuses on providing the infrastructure necessary to implement healthy lifestyle choices while traveling to schools. The final priority is to decrease our overall dependency on automobiles and busses when traveling to school, where bicycling or walking becomes a safe alternative to vehicular travel. Note: The left"Points"column is intended to provide the applicant information on the points assigned to each section and subsection and is for administrative use during scoring only. Points 9. Identify the Problem(s): (Describe the principle problem(s)below with details on Attachment Attachment A)A A Provided 25 The problems include the following: lack of sufficient sidewalks for pedestrians and bicyclists; an overall low capacity of bicycle racks for bicycle storage at school sites; low volume of ADA handicap ramps within the vicinity of schools; and an unnecessarily high dependency on automobiles and school buses when students travel to and from school. 10.Identify the Solution(s): (Provide statement of principle project solution(s)addressing the Attachment problem with details on Attachment B) B Provided B The proposed solutions include the installation of new sidewalks where none exist, the 40 establishment of hike &bike pathways through three park areas so students do not have to walk near vehicular traffic, and improvements to allow pedestrians and bicyclists to traverse several existing waterways that currently impede commuting to schools. 11.Do you have measures for success and supporting SRTS Plan activities? Attachment (Describe how the project will be measured and supported by other Plan activities on Attachment C) C Provided C Before and after statistical data will be analyzed to gauge the effectiveness of the program. 10 Data analyzed will include the number of students walking and bicycling to school and the numbe of students that ride buses. In addition, any public comment, letters, or phone calls regarding the infrastructure improvements will be compiled. 12.Describe Local Support: (Describe how the project will benefit the community and the Attachment support of agency and citizens with details on Attachment D) D Provided The project will benefit the community by encouraging the adoption of healthier commuting 10 alternatives for students in grades K-8 as well as the general public who is also welcomed to utilize the infrastructure improvements. The project will also help the City to realize some of the goals identified in the Parks and Open Space Master Plan. The project has the support of the Wylie City Council, the Wylie Independent School District School Board, and the local Parks and Recreation Board. 13.Proposed Project Cost: Estimated Cost: Attachment E Preliminary Engineering: Environmental Clearance and PS&E 29,600 E Provided 15 Development* ROW and Utilities* 0 Construction (Total from Attachment E) 720,400 Contingencies 0 Total Project Cost(Provide cost estimate details on Attachment E) 750,000 *Include an estimate of these costs.

If documentation such as sketches, pictures, maps, exhibits, diagra.Pns, and tables are submitted, they must be referenced in the text and numbered sequentially. (If filling out by hand, separate sheet may be used if more room is needed.) Points 1. Describe the potential safety problem(s) in detail by indicating the obstacles (physical or perceived) to walking and/or biking to and from school(s), such as: • On-street parking • Posted speed limits • Commercial driveways/railroads/intersections 10 A-1 • Width of intersection or roadway • Width of shoulder, sidewalk and/or trail • Missing links, lack of facility, restrictive barriers • Potential users are not traveling due to perceived risk • Recent changes in adjacent land-use and/or development • Possible storm water drainage design issues The existing safety problems and obstacles for pedestrians and bicyclists to and from schools are as follows: -Shortage of sidewalks and paths where pedestrian and bicyclist traffic is common. - Pathways for travel to school start and end abruptly. -Storm drainage ditches are used by students when traveling to and from school. -Walkways that students utilize are dirt pathways that are undeveloped. -Waterways obstruct the path of travel on pedestrian and bicyclist routes to school. -Student bicyclists are forced to travel on roadways that are not safe for student travel. -A lack of bicycle storage facilities at all schools. - Intersections near schools lack ADA handicap access ramps. -School bus transportation is required by Texas Education Code 42.155—D (Hazardous Conditions), for students who live less than two miles from a school site. - Parents unnecessarily transport students to school due to hazardous conditions on routes to schools. - Heavy and fast moving traffic will not yield for students traveling to school. 2. Identify risks or hazards facing children who bike and/or walk to school and how they will be 5 A-2 addressed by the proposed project. If crashes or incidents have occurred, identify date,time, frequency, type, and severity of crashes that will be addressed by the proposed project. Other information, such as health statistics may also be included as supporting documentation. Risk/Hazard: Undeveloped pathways. Project Solution: Develop new hike & bike routes (i.e. sidewalks). Risk/Hazard: Sidewalks that start and end abruptly. Project Solution: Inter-connect and finish out sidewalks that start and end abruptly. TxDOT(1/17/2007)•SRTS Application for Infrastructure Project•page 4 of 4 Attachment A—Problem Identification (continued) Risk/Hazard: Storm drainage ditches used for student travel. Project Solution: Develop hike &bike pathways that eliminate the need for students to travel in storm drainage ditches. Risk/Hazard: Undeveloped dirt pathways with ground cracks/separation and other obstacles. Project Solution: Construct concrete hike& bike pathways where pedestrian and bicyclist traffic is frequently present. Risk/Hazard: Waterways including creeks and streams that prohibit students from walking or bicycling to school. Project Solution: Construct pedestrian bridges that allow students to travel across these waterways. Risk/Hazard: High-traffic roadways are used by student bicyclists during travel to school. Project Solution: Develop new hike & bike pathways that parallel roadways. Risk/Hazard: Bicycle storage facilities at schools can only handle a very limited number of bikes. Project Solution: Increase the capacity of bike storage facilities at each K-8 school. Risk/Hazard: Intersections in the vicinity of schools lack ADA handicap ramps. Project Solution: Construct handicap ramps at intersections to improve accessibility and safe travel to schools. Risk/Hazard: Texas Education Code requires student bus transportation for students who live within walking areas that are exposed to school route hazards. Project Solution: This project has researched and identified these hazards. The collective plans in this project will eliminate the need for unnecessary bus routes by 27% or more. Risk/Hazard: Parents transport students unnecessarily due to obstacles and hazardous routes to school. Project Solution: The project plan will eliminate the hazards expressed by community members and by school district personnel. Risk/Hazard: Excessive traffic volume during school commuting hours prohibits students from safely crossing intersections. Project Solution: This project has identified the problematic intersections and will install painted crosswalks and signage. 3. Describe the student population. Example:What is the percentage of children who currently walk or 3 A—3 bike to and from your school(s)? Complete Appendix A: CURRENT ENVIRONMENT(PRE- PROJECT)for each school (included in this application). This description is listed in Appendix A. 5 A—4 4. Identify current and potential safe walking and biking routes to schools. (Please see Appendix E of the SRTS Program Guidance and Application Instructions for assistance in determining safe routes.) The routes identified on each of the aerial photographic exhibits identify the proposed safe walking and biking routes to school. Currently, students who traverse these routes encounter impediments such as no sidewalks, drainage ditches, high volumes of traffic, etc. In some cases, students do not even use the proposed routes because the school district has determined that no safe route to school exists, and the students are bused to school in accordance with Texas Education Code 42- 155 - D (Hazardous Conditions). None of the proposed routes includes a rail crossing of any kind. All of the proposed routes would effectively improve the existing commuting patterns and safety of students by doing one or more of the following: - Installing sidewalks where none exist so that students do not have to walk in the streets or in TxDOT(1/17/2007)•SRTS Application for Infrastructure Project•page 5 of 4 Attachment A—Problem Identification(Continued) ditches; - Installing sidewalks through existing parkland to establish connectivity between residential areas, parks, and schools in which no vehicular traffic would be encountered; - Installing a structure to traverse existing water channels or drainage ditches which currently do not allow safe passage; - Installing ADA ramps to facilitate the commute to school for those with physical challenges. All of the proposed objectives will be equitably distributed within two miles of the existing school(s) in the area to facilitate the creation of a comprehensive safe routes to school plan. 2 A—5 5. Was an engineering study of the problem conducted? If yes, please explain and attach a copy. Provide pedestrian signal warrant analysis for intersections, traffic studies, etc,when applicable. The City of Wylie's Engineer made a recommendation to install sidewalks as shown on the attached exhibit depicting Part E of the project. The recommendation concluded that installation of a low water crossing at this location would interfere with future bridge expansion at the site. A copy of the Engineer's letter is attached. TxDOT(1/17/2007)•SRTS Application for Infrastructure Project•page 6 of 5 Attachment B — Proposed Improvement Project Use Attachment B to describe how the proposed project will improve the safety and encourage biking and walking to school. The connection between the problem(s) and the proposed solution(s)must be clearly demonstrated. If documentation such as sketches, pictures, maps, exhibits, diagrams, and tables are submitted, they must be referenced in the text and numbered sequentially. (If filling out by hand, separate sheet may be used if more room is needed.) Points 20 B - 1 1. Describe how the proposed project improves safety within two miles of your school(s), with respect to the identified problem(s), including the potential to reduce child injuries and fatalities. -The installation of additional sidewalks and paths where none exist will remove pedestrians and bicyclists from hazardous traffic conditions. - New pathway segments that are added to the current infrastructure will create continuous, uninterrupted safe routes to school. - New access routes will alleviate the need for students to travel in unsafe storm drainage ditches when no other pathway is available. - Converting the dirt paths frequently utilized by students into safer concrete walkways will improve accessibility for pedestrians and bicyclists during all weather conditions. -The lack of waterway crossings currently impedes the desirability of traveling to school by foot or bicycle. The addition of waterway crossings will create a seamless connection between home and school. -Additional hike and bike trails throughout the community will remove student bicyclists from dangerous roads and highways. These student bicyclists will have access to routes that are not used by motorized traffic. -This project proposes to add bicycle storage racks at all K-8 school sites throughout the City of Wylie. With the current and projected increase in popularity of bike usage, it will be necessary to increase the bike storage capacity areas. -The inclusion of 33 ADA ramps in the proposal will facilitate commuting for those students who require ADA accommodations. - Several unnecessary bus routes will be eliminated through the auspices of this grant opportunity. The students that are directly impacted by this change will adopt a healthier life style, enjoy safe travel to and from school, and lower vehicle emissions will be present in the school areas. -The overall implications of this program will remove many hazardous conditions that students encounter on a daily basis. 2. Describe how the student population will be affected by the implementation of this infrastructure 8 B -2 project. Example: What is the anticipated percent increase of children who will walk or bike to school after the project is implemented? Complete Appendix B: PROPOSED ENVIRONMENT(POST- PROJECT) for each school (included in this application). The direct effects on our student population are descibed in Appendix B and on the following list of implications: - Improved safety for bicyclists and pedestrians by construcing sidewalks and hike and bike trails where none exist. -Significant increases in the interest and amount of children walking/bicycling to and from school. - Decreased school bus and vehicular traffic would reduce overall fuel usage and emissions currently present in school zones. -Greater accessibility to safe travel routes would be available to the handicapped, bicyclists, and pedestrian traffic. -Improved healthier lifestyles. -Enhanced community partnerships between the City of Wylie, Wylie Independent School District, and the community-based Parks and Recreation Board have been developed as a result of this grant opportunity. - Reduced childhood obesity by promoting alternative modes of transportation other than busing or being driven to school. TxDOT(1/17/2007)•SRTS Application for Infrastructure Project•page 7 of 7 Attachment B—Proposed Improvement Project(continued) 3. Describe any enforcement, encouragement and/or educational components related to your project, 8 8— 3 either existing or planned. If one or more of the components are not included, please explain why the component is not an integral part of the project. As a result of this award, a marketing plan will be utilized and implemented by the City of Wylie and Wylie Independent School District. This plan has two primary objectives to market the Safe Routes to School improvements. First, it aims to increase the awareness and the number of students that will utilize the new safe routes to schools. Second, it seeks to increase the public recognition of the improvements that were made available by the Safe Routes to School grant. Such public recognition will be sought at the City level and at the School District level. A special effort will be expended to use this marketing plan's tool to build "ownership" and recognition of the community- wide enhancements and improvements to safety. During the implementation of this marketing plan, print-based and electronic media will remain the primary tools for realizing the program's objectives. For example, the project improvements will be marketed through the City of Wylie's and Wylie Independent School District's websites (www.wylietexas.gov and www.wylieisd.net). In addition, staff members from both entities will be available to answer questions and to field general inquiries from the public. The community enhancements will also have a presence on electronic newsletters that are distributed throughout the School District and the entire City of Wylie. Overall, this marketing plan aims to encourage children in grades K-8 including those with disabilities to walk and bicycle to school; to make bicycling and walking more appealing; and to publicize improved safety elements in the vicinity of schools. Although not identified in the application as a specific and distinct feature, enforcement of existing laws and ordinances, especially those related to traffic enforcement,will be part of the overall program implementation. The City of Wylie has a full-time police force which is in charge of crossing guards. Together, this team regulates and enforces the existing speed limits, the proper operation of motor vehicles, and the proper behavior of pedestrians and bicyclist who choose to commute in the City right-of-way. The education and encouragement aspects of the program will likely produce increased numbers of pedestrians and bicyclists, and Wylie's Police Department will be present to enforce the proper codes of conduct as needed. 4. Describe the existing and expected land-use changes, such as new schools, housing and/or commercial developments, which would impact the amount of bicycle and pedestrian travel. For example, a new 100 home subdivision is being built next to an 4 B—4 elementary school on a heavily traveled arterial roadway without connecting sidewalks or 100,000 square feet of additional retail is expected to be constructed at the intersection northwest quadrant in the next five years. Please include relevant sections of a comprehensive plan or bicycle and pedestrian plan, if available. The City of Wylie is a rapidly growing community. In 2000, the population was 14,000. Presently, the population is approaching the 36,000 mark. Over 1,000 new homes were built each year since 2002, and 901 new homes were built in 2006. The Wylie Independent School District has passed two significant bond packages since 2000, and the District has built additional schools to accommodate the rapid influx of school-aged children and to avoid overcrowding in the existing schools. The new schools are built in various locations around the City; however, the area west of the central business district has experienced the most rapid increase in population. As indicated on the attached map exhibits, several of the proposed projects are located in the western portion of the City to accommodate this population boom. Several existing schools are located just south of the central business district, and this area has also seen a significant increase in residential development since the year 2000. The proposed projects will clearly address these evolving land use changes in the following manner: -As these anticipated land use changes materialize, our plans will meet the needs of today and provide the infrastructure for the future; - Projected population increases will further congest existing arterial roadways that currently lack TxDOT(1/17/2007)•SRTS Application for Infrastructure Project•page 8 of 7 Attachment B—Proposed Improvement Project(continued) adjacent sidewalks. This plan will rectify this situation by constructing the needed alternative transportation pathways that would provide safe accomodations throughout the community. -With the continued population and community growth, school-aged pedestrians and bicylcists will face an increased potential for physical harm. This plan will provide an opportunity to install the necessary improvements to avoid this predicament. • TxDOT(1/17/2007)•SRTS Application for Infrastructure Project•page 9 of 8 Attachment C — Project Measurement Use Attachment C to describe the desired outcomes of the project and how the project will be evaluated in order to determine its'success. (If filling out by hand, separate sheet may be used if more room is needed.) Points 1. Describe how the project will be measured and evaluated. Measurements may include before and after data such as the following: • Total number of students reached • Number of students biking • Number of students walking 10 C— 1 • Number of students busing • Number of students driven • Number of new partnerships developed • Safety improvement analysis • Letters of appreciation • Survey of parental approval/support Commonplace in any new program implementation is the component of evaluation. This component is necessary to measure the success of the program, to discover if the proposed improvements have brought about the desired outcomes, and to evaluate whether a change has occurred from the past to the present. The key element is discerning whether this program is successful will be to monitor statistical data through empirical observations or survey analysis, to see if more students take advantage of the alternative routes of travel to school. Information has already been collected regarding the number of bicyclists commuting to schools, students using buses,the number of bus routes, etc. The next step would be to gather the same data at specific time intervals after all the infrastructure improvements have been completed for each particular school site and to evaluate the degree of success. For instance, since part of the proposed program proposed to establish new walk and bike routes to school sites, it will be beneficial to compare the number of bicycles currently being ridden to school with the number of bicycles that are ridden to school a few months after the project completion, during the following semester, and again during the next school year. After evaluation, and a degree of success is identified, local officials could determine if education and encouragement efforts were successful, and modify such measures, if necessary, accordingly. In addition, any public comment, letters, or phone calls regarding the infrastructure improvements will be compiled. The plan to measure and evaluate this project is as follows: -Data logs will be generated that identify the number of students that walk, bike, bus, and are driven. -Each log will provide a pre-project year and post-project year record. -A record of community partnerships will be maintained by the City of Wylie. -An analysis by the Department of Public Works will measure the safety of new routes produced by this grant and participation levels will be integrated into this analysis. -Letters of appreciation from the public will be maintained as a measure of the public's view of this project. -Parents will be randomly surveyed for feedback to obtain immediate and ongoing program monitoring. TxDOT(1/17/2007) •SRTS Application for Infrastructure Project•page 10 of 10 Attachment D — Project Support Use Attachment D to describe the project partners and the collaboration that has been created to ensure the success of the project. (If filling out by hand, separate sheet may be used if more room is needed.) Points 1. Is the project location(s) on designated route(s) in a local or regional bicycle, pedestrian, and/or trails 3 D- 1 transportation plan in addition to your Safe Routes to School Plan? Please provide details and relevant sections of the supporting plans. Yes, portions of the proposed project will allow the City to comply with recommendations made in the Wylie Parks, Recreation and Open Space Master Plan which was completed in December 2002. Based upon a citywide survey, Section VII, page 101 of the Master Plan ranks hike and bike trails as the number one priority desired by residents. Page 104 of the same section states:"Provide safe, off-street pedestrian and bicycle linkages to existing and new parks, schools, libraries, and museums, as well as economic, municipal and recreational destinations." The Master Plan also recommended utilization of the existing drainage corridors throughtout the City for construction of the hike and bike trails. Please refer to the attached map exhibits to see the location of the various schools, Master Plan trail recommendations, and the interconncectivity of the proposed infrastructure improvements. The relevant sections of the Master Plan are attached to this document. 2. Indicate if there are any other programmed or planned transportation projects adjacent to the proposed project that would impact the function of the proposed safety improvement. Provide the time frames for construction and completion for the programmed or planned projects. 2 D-2 If there are no other programmed or planned projects applicable to this proposed projected, please note that information in the narrative and provide an explanation as to how this proposed project is part of your overall SRTS plan. There are two planned transportation projects adjacent to the proposed grant project that would impact the proposed safety improvements. As per the attached maps, these projects include the following: 1. The widening of South Ballard Avenue. This transportation project includes the installation of sidewalks on both sides of the new roadway. In addition, the project is already funded by the City of Wylie. If Part A of this grant request is approved, the grant's sidewalk improvements would directly connect with the sidewalk installations that are part of the South Ballard Avenue project. When combined, these new sidewalks will create safe walking and biking routes between two schools (Harrison and Burnett) and several neighborhoods. In addition, an existing school bus route serving this area can be eliminated. The anticipated construction date for the South Ballard project is July 2007 with completion anticipated in April 2008. 2. The widening of FM 3412 (West Brown Street). This transportation project, which is already funded by the City of Wylie, would have a direct impact on Part B of this grant submittal. If Part B of this grant request is approved, the grant's sidewalk improvements would directly connect with the sidewalk installations that are part of the FM 3412 project. Together, the overall improvements will create safe routes to three different schools (Birmingham, McMillan, and Davis). The anticipated construction date for FM 3412 project is 2010 with completion anticipated in 2011. As the above projects are completed and linked with the proposed infrastructure improvements, they will provide additional connectivity between neighborhoods, schools, and the City park system. 3.

This grant submittal has the full support of the City of Wylie City Council and City staff. In addition, the Wylie Independent School District fully supports and contributed to completion of the application. A resolution from the governing body of each entity is included as part of this grant submittal. In addition, the City of Wylie Parks and Recreation Board has also submitted a letter of support for this project. 3 D -d 4. Describe plans to provide maintenance and ongoing funding, if needed, to ensure the continued success of the project and the parties responsible for supporting the project. The resolution of the City of Wylie City Council states that the City"commits to provide maintenance to the infrastructure improvements once constructed." All proposed infrastructure improvements located in City right-of-way and/or on City property will be maintained in good working order. The City of Wylie budgets annually in its operating budget to maintain infrastucture within it jurisdiction. Since these proposed improvements will be an asset and amenity that our citizens and children will be able to enjoy for many years, staff would budget annually for their ongoing maintenance cost. In addition, any improvements located on Wylie Independent School District property will be adequately maintained through the annual budgeting process to ensure their continued, uninterrupted use. TxDOT(1/17/2007)•SRTS Application for Infrastructure Project•page 12 of 11 Attachment E — Project Cost Use Attachment E to describe the project cost. (If filling out by hand, separate sheet may be used if more room is needed.) Points Provide detailed construction cost estimate information presently available. Use Appendix C: "Detailed Construction Cost Estimate," included in this application (an example construction cost estimate is also 15 E. 1 provided). Please note: while all authorized project costs are eligible for federal reimbursement and must be shown in Section E of the application, the amount of project award will only be for construction cost. If applicable, please list any additional funding resources available that will augment the infrastructure project and describe how these funds will be allocated. The construction cost estimate is shown in Appendix C. The proposed installation of the pedestrian bridge to connect Creekhollow Estates to the Wells Parkland and continuing toward West Brown Street will establish a safe route to Birmingam Elementary School, Davis Intermediate School, and McMillan Junior High School via parkland. This part of the project will require engineering services to properly design a structure that will span an existing drainageway in the parkland. At this time, it is estimated that engineering services will include the following disciplines: Structural to select a bridge design that will not block the flow from the channel as it flows into the park; Hydrologist to model the outfall to ensure no negative impact on the flow. Survey for boundary verification and topographic information on the channel; and Civil/Planning to provide oversight and coordination, soil sampling, foundation design, plans and specifications. It is estimated that the above professional services will cost approximately$29,600. The project also includes the installation of bike racks at ten school sites located within the City limits. Staff has conducted a survey of the number of students who currently choose to bicyle to school, and that information is contained in Attachments A and C. The installation of bicycle racks at the various school sites will accommodate the anticipated increase in the number of students who will be riding bikes to school as a result of this project. At this time, it is estimated that$50,000 will be needed to purchase and install the new bike racks at the various school sites. In addition to the above, this project proposes to install 16,600 linear feet of 4-foot wide concrete sidewalks, 5,900 linear feet of 8-foot wide concrete hike and bike trails, 33 ADA ramps at various intersections currently lacking ADA accessibility, and two water crossings (one on W. A.Allen Blvd. and one on Thomas Street) to provide to complete pathways that are currently impeded by lack of sidewalks and infrastructure to safely cross small water impediments. Total construction costs, including labor, material, equipment, and contingencies is estimated at$720,400. The total funds requested (construction plus engineering) equals $750,000.

May 18, 2007 Michael Sferra, Public Services Director 2000 Highway 78 North Wylie, Texas 75098 Subject: Safe Routes to School Program/Park Boulevard Bridge Mr. Sferra: I have considered several options regarding pedestrian access and connecting the existing sidewalks on the east and west sides of the bridge on Park Boulevard. I recommend that that the existing sidewalks located on the south side of the bridge and below the roadway elevation be looped underneath the bridge and extended up to the existing sidewalk located on the north side of the roadway. This would eliminate the need to install a low water crossing at the site and would facilitate the future expansion of the bridge to six lanes. If you have any questions or require additional information, please contact me. Thank you. Sincerely, Chris Hoisted, P.E. City Engineer City of Wylie 949 Hensley Lane Wylie, TX 75098 Phone: 972-442-8100 Fax: 972-442-5641 2000 Highway 78 North • Wylie,Texas 75098 ® 972.442.8100 0 www.wylietexas.gov FACILITY IMPROVEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS The adequacy of existing parks, recreation facilities and open space is determined by comparing the needs of the present and forecasted populations of Wylie to specific goals and standards. The Collin County Parks and Open Space Strategic Plan presents a modified version of the standards published by the National Recreation and Parks Association (NRPA) to create a local guideline to determine land and facility requirements for various kinds of park and recreation needs at the community level. According to the standards, Wylie has kept up with the demand for baseball/softball fields, football fields, playgrounds and soccer fields. The City falls short in meeting the facility standards for active amenities such as basketball, practice fields, sand volleyball, tennis courts and trails. The recommendations also address the standards for passive recreation facilities such as pavilions/shelters, picnic tables and recreation centers. The City of Wylie falls short in providing these passive amenities to its citizens. In order to help develop recommendations for specific facility improvements in Wylie, the planning team conducted a mail-out survey to random Wylie citizens and youth. (see page 75) This needs assessment study provided guidance to the planning team based on citizen needs and priorities. A series of priority items was established combining input from the Citizen Survey, Youth Survey, City Council, Task Force, Park Board and City Staff. (see page100) The priorities were categorized into high, moderate and low. The following recommendations address the specific needs identified in the Wylie community: A. HIGH PRIORITY ITEMS 1.

Existing destinations that have been identified include Lake Lavon and Lake Ray Hubbard, Woodbridge Golf Club, Founders Park and adjacent school athletic facilities.

The County requested this information from area cities so that they could structure a November 2007 bond proposition. It appears that the County intends to make grant funding available in future years for development of trails that link neighboring communities in the County. Details will become available once the County releases information about the bond proposition.. •An update on the Well's property scheduling, layout, and proposed bike trail. Construction of the new City Hall. Library, and Rec Center are scheduled for late 2007 or early 2008 (depending on the bidding and award process) in the site recommended by the consultants. Funding for master planning of the Wells property is being requested in the Park Division FY07-08 budget. Council must approve the requested line item, and budget hearings are usually held in July and August. The proposed bike trail project as part of a Safe Routes to School Program grant opportunity with TxDOT was submitted on May 25, 2007. It must now be reviewed at several TxDOT committees. It has already "cleared" the local Dallas office. I don't believe we'll hear anything until September or October about the degree of success of the application. • Background and current options with the Corp of Engineers regarding picking up property for park purposes Bill Nelson will be bringing this information to the next Park Board meeting. •Any possibilities of going under FM544 to link Wells and the High School. This is an opportunity that needs to be explored with TxDOT and the railroad. It has the potential to possibly be a future grant project with the County. If funding for the Wells master planning is approved, we would recommend that the consultant investigate the feasibility and identify potential points for establishing this connection. • Update on the School Crossing projects I assume David means the Safe Routes to School grant application. If so re;te,at n n ",,, 25 2007_ It must now be I hope that answers some of your questions, David. If you need more information,just let us know. We'll be glad to respond.

Look for packets on Friday, June 22, 2007. June meeting highlight Representatives with Half and Associates will attend the meeting to discuss the revisions requested by the board for the Founders Park Phase 2 Bond Project. There will also be a representative from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to discuss use of Corps property for park use. Update on the Recreation Center/City Hall/Library After deciding to move forward on all three projects to begin at the same time, the City Council updated the contracts at their last regular meeting to reflect constructing all three buildings. Staff continues to work with Ballard-King and Associates the consultant who will prepare the Enterprise Plan for the Recreation Center. This plan will assist staff, architects, Board, and Council on aspects of operations and the types of revenues that can be captured by the new facility. Staff will keep the Board updated on the progress. No changes or updates have been done on the actual buildings at this time. Construction status: Skate Park at Joel Scott Park-The equipment is on order. The engineered drawings for the concrete slab for the skate park are still not completed. Staff is hoping to get this completed and start work on the slab soon. Basketball courts-Basketball courts at Community, Eureka, Lakeside, and Friendship Parks are 100% complete. Staff recently discovered that the surfacing at the court at Friendship Park did not adhere to the concrete and is now pealing up. We are working to get the contractor to make repairs of the surfacing; the surfacing does have warranty coverage. Olde City Park-Landscape and amenities (i.e. benches and tables) have been installed. The park has been seeded and hopefully turf will soon begin to grow. Joel Scott Park-Staff is still working on dirt work and preparation for the skate park will begin soon. David Willey recently sent questions to staff on various topics. These topics will be addressed in the agenda for Monday, below are the responses from staff to David. Here's an update (responses in green)on David's questions with information I currently have available: A couple of things I'd like to go over at the next meeting: •An update on the cooperative bike trail plan with the county As I understand it; Bill Nelson submitted information to Collin County about future land acquisitions and locations of trails.
