SUBJECT: 1994 I .S.T.E.A. Grant Request for Bike Path
PURPOSE
The purpose of this memorandum is to request Council author-
ization to apply for a 1994 Intermodal Surface Transportation
Enhancement Act ( I .S.T.E.A. ) Grant.
BACKGROUND
In order to leverage additional grant funding for the bike
path through the Sports Complex, the City of Elgin Department
of Parks and Recreation proposes to submit a grant applica-
tion for funds available through the Intermodal Surface Trans-
portation Enhancement Act.
The I .S .T.E .A. program focuses on non-vehicular transporta-
tion programs . The City received a grant under this program
for Historic District decorative lighting last year. A bike
path through a park qualifies if it is part of a comprehen-
sive trail system or links a variety of destination points .
In order to make the application competitive, it is proposed
that the path be extended beyond what is currently under
construction at the Elgin Sports Complex. The logical exten-
sion would be west across McLean Boulevard to Elgin Community
College (with future connections east across the river and
west to the Otter Creek Greenbelt) .
The current projected bike path cost within the Sports Com-
plex only is $131, 800 (50% from the City and 50% from the
Illinois Department of Conservation) . The total cost of the
new proposed bike path is $192,000 which includes extending
the path to Elgin Community College (and increase the costs
for the existing trail) . Funding from the proposed
I . S.T.E.A. grant would cover 80% of the cost or $153,600 .
The remaining 20% would be borne evenly by the City and the
Illinois Department of Conservation.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
The matching funds up to $19,200 will be coming from the
existing bike path budget item ($131 , 800) of the Soccer Com-
plex Development project (a $920, 460 improvement already
funded 20% by State grant) . If the I .S .T.E .A. grant is ap-
proved, funding for the bike path within the Sports Complex
and in ECC will be:
I . S.T.E.A. Grant ( 80%) $153, 600
Dept. of Conservation Grant ( 10%) 19, 200
City of Elgin ( 10% ) 19 ,200
$192 , 000
Again, the City' s portion is already funded from the 1992
bond issue for Sports Complex Development .
LEGAL IMPACT
None.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that staff be authorized to apply for the
I . S.T.E .A. Grant for the bike path at the Sports Complex to
Elgin Community College and that the City Manager be author-
ized to sign appropriate documents .
