State funding approved for trail projects

Ag/Outdoor, News, Sports

September 15th, 2021 by Ric Hanson

(Radio Iowa) – State funding totaling nearly one-point-five million dollars has been approved for four trail projects. The D-O-T’s Craig Markley says a project on the Heart of Iowa Nature Trail in central Iowa won funding. He says it would pave a trail in Story County, with a grant of 400-thousand dollars. The total project cost is 674-thousand. A grant of 220-thousand was approved for the Raccoon River Valley Trail in central Iowa. “This would be a connection to the High Trestle (Trail). This continues filling in that missing link if you would between Woodward and Perry — where it would link those two very long loop trails,” Markley says.

He says the total project cost is 393-thousand dollars, and this will add to what is already a very good trail system in that area. The Grant Wood Trail in eastern Iowa’s Linn County was awarded a grant. “This would be hard-surfacing about three miles of current granular trail east of Marion, and that would be at a 400-thousand dollar cost,” he says. The total project cost of the Grant Wood Trail is 735-thousand dollars. The final award was to the Keokuk River Trail. “This would be the construction of one mile of new trail located along the Keokuk riverfront starting at Victory Park, and heading southwest towards the boat ramp,” Markley says.

That project won a grant of nearly 494-thousand dollars — with the total project cost of more than one-point-one million dollars. Markley says the requests for funding were way above the amount available. “We received 37 applications with a total project cost of nearly 37 million dollars. And the total amount requested was right at ten times the amount available — so almost 15 million requested for the one-point-five (million) available,” Markley says.

He says the projects are scored on a variety of criteria to determine which ones receive funding.
