the State of California Department of Parks and Recreation for the
rehabilitation of the Golden Loop Recreational Trail.

DISCUSSION
The Recreational Trails Program was established under the Transportation
Equity Act for the 21st Century and provides funds annually for
recreational trails and trail-related projects. Approximately $3.8
million will be available this funding cycle for non-motorized projects.
The application requires a 12-percent match of non-state money.
Applications are due on October 1, 2007.
The Golden Loop Recreational Trail is a regional trail that traverses the
perimeter of the City and provides facilities for bike riding, jogging,
and walking. Once all segments of the trail have been constructed, users
will be able to travel in a complete circle around the entire City limits
and return to their original starting point. The proposed project will
resurface 6 miles of the existing trail providing users with a safe,
environmentally friendly trail to use for commuting and recreation.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.
