Federal Lands Access Program (FLAP) 

Improving access to and within federal and tribal lands

Connecticut 

MAP-21 Funding Authorized: FY 2013: $35,312 FY 2014: $35,578 FY 2015: $34,864 Federal land acreage for the five core FLMAs: 0.45% Federal public road miles: 33.6 Number of Federal public bridges: 7 Recreational visitation: 1,224,132 visitors per year 

Success story: The Crystal Lake Road Reconstruction project will widen Crystal Lake Road, realign Military Highway with the Department of Defense Naval Marine Base New London entrance, and construct a multiuse trail along the south side of Crystal Lake Road. The proposed 10 foot wide multiuse trail will begin on the south side of Crystal Lake Road at the Military Highway Intersection and travel east to Route 12, then continuing south approximately 2,500 feet along the west side of Route 12 to Pleasant Valley Road South. The multiuse trail will consist of 12-inch sub-base and two 2-inch lifts of Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA). The reconstruction and realignment of Military Highway will be about 300 feet with the northbound lane being realigned with the Navy Base main gate entrance. The existing pavement along Crystal Lake Road will be rehabilitated by removing and replacing the bituminous concrete pavement. An 8-foot wide buffer between the edge of the roadway and the new multiuse trail will be maintained. The reconfiguring of the Military Highway and Crystal Lake Road intersection will improve operation, safety and visitation for those traveling to and from the US Navy Base and the US Submarine Museum and USS Nautilus Memorial. Route 12 is considered a cross state bicycle route, therefore the multi use trail will connect the Naval Base to the cross state bicycle route.

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 December 4, 2013 until March 4, 2014, that generated 2 applications totaling $105,000 funds requested.
