Agenda 12/11/2018 Item #16A1712/11/2018
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve the electronic submission of a Safe Routes to School application with
the Florida Department of Transportation in the amount of $761,514.74 to fund the design and
construction of a sidewalk along Linwood Avenue to Shadowlawn Elementary School with a local
contribution of $89,942.69 for construction engineering and inspection.
OBJECTIVE: To provide safe pathways for our children and families to walk and bike in East Naples.
CONSIDERATIONS: Florida's Safe Routes to School (SRTS) program's goal is to enable and
encourage children in grades Kindergarten through High School to walk and bike to school. SRTS
programs strive to make walking and biking to school safer and more appealing and to facilitate the
planning, development, and implementation of projects that will improve safety and reduce traffic, fuel
consumption, and improve air quality in the vicinity of schools. In addition to encouraging more children
to walk or bike to school, the program also seeks to address the safety needs of children already walking
or biking in less than ideal conditions.
On September 1, 2018, the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) announced a call for
applications for the SRTS program in Florida. All applications must be submitted to the local FDOT
office by January 31, 2019. FDOT will select SRTS infrastructure projects which directly support
increased safety and convenience for students and achieve the program's goals.
In partnership with the Collier County Public School (CCPS), staff has identified a sidewalk location in
close proximity to Shadowlawn Elementary School. The location is Linwood Avenue from Airport-
Pulling Road to Linwood Way, in East Naples. The project consists of the construction of a 6 -foot wide
sidewalk for approximately 0.52 miles. Children walk and bike along Linwood Avenue to attend
Shadowlawn Elementary School. Linwood Avenue is a heavily traveled street and frequently used as a
'cut through' to avoid the traffic along Davis Boulevard, East Tamiami Trail and Airport-Pulling Road.
Often the children must compete with the large delivery trucks and work trucks that travel this street. In
2009, the Bayshore CRA and the County installed stormwater improvements in the Gateway Triangle
Area, including along Linwood Avenue. Since the stormwater infrastructure is currently in place and the
cost of the sidewalk on the north side of the street will be reduced.
The grant does not require a match; however, because the construction engineering and inspecti on (CEI)
portion of the project is not an eligible cost under this grant, the County will provide a local contribution
in the amount of $89,942.69 to cover CEI costs.
This project is supported by the Collier County Sheriff's Office, the Collier Metropolitan Planning
Organization (MPO), CCPS, the Shadowlawn Elementary School Principal, the Community Traffic
Safety Team and the Blue Zones. Letters of support from these agencies will be included in the
application.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved for form and legality and requires a majority vote
for Board action. - JAB
FISCAL IMPACT: Should Collier County receive funding from FDOT for the proposed project,
funding would be awarded in the amount of $761,514.74 ($89,942.69 for design and $671,572.05 for
construction). Total cost of the project is $851,457.43 which includes an additional local contribution of
$89,942.69 to cover CEI costs (estimated to be 15% of the $599,617.90 construction cost). The local
contribution would be obtained by reallocating Unincorporated General Fund (111) transfers within the

Growth Management Capital Improvement Fund (310). Source of funds is ad valorem. The Board of
County Commissioners (Board) will have the opportunity to accept or reject the funds if the grant
application is approved.

consistent with the Growth Management Plan (GMP). In addition, the application supports the Goals,
Objectives, and Policies outlined in the Transportation Element, Intermodal and Multi-Modal
Transportation Sub Section of the GMP.

Shadowlawn Elementary School.
