Improving access to and within federal and tribal lands

MAP-21 Funding Authorized: FY 2013: $1,602,995 FY 2014: $1,615,036 FY: 2015: $1,582,659 Federal land acreage for the five core FLMAs: 6.00% Federal public road miles: 1,592.9 Number of Federal public bridges: 72 Recreational visitation: 5,313,132 visitors per year 

Success story: West Jefferson Greenways Trail - This project will construct a trail along the east side of West Jefferson Avenue connecting the existing path in front of Detroit River International Wildlife Refuge to both Grosse Ile Parkway and Wayne County’s Elizabeth Park Path. By completing this link of trail, over 100 miles of greenways will be connected to federal lands stretching from Lake St. Clair to Lake Erie, up the tributaries and across to Canada. This significant project will improve access to federal lands, enhance outdoor recreation, foster regional greenways, reduce pollution levels and enhance visitation and economic development. The work will consist of constructing approximately 5,000 feet of a 10-foot wide path with 6-inch of stone base and 4-inch of asphalt overlay. Additional work will include some ditch enclosure, minimal tree removal, and relocation of some private signs. Survey will be completed to aid in design of the path. The project will create a safe multi-use pathway separate from the roadway that will eliminate safety issues for pedestrians and bicyclists. This project is included in the region’s long-range transportation plan as well as the Detroit River International Wildlife Refuge’s Comprehensive Conservation Plan.

FLAP Project Selection Process

Each FLAP project was selected from a pool of applications submitted by the facility owner in response to a state-wide call for projects. The applications were screened, rated, and ranked using PDC approved rating criteria. The PDC unanimously agreed which projects met the established State program goals and conformed with the project ranking criteria contained in the “Call for Projects SOP”. Based upon these evaluations, the proposed projects were recommended for programming within the available funding for each state. Memorandum of Agreements (MOA) were coordinated and executed for each programmed project prior to obligation of FLAP funds. There was one call for projects, from August 5, 2013 until October 4, 2013, that generated 15 applications totaling $9,229,425 funds requested.
