ROAD DEPARTMENT, Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) grant applications approved Jason Benson, County Engineer, discussed two grant applications for the 2015 Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP), which is administered by the North Dakota Department of Transportation (NDDOT). The first project is for a multi-use path on the east side of County Highway 28 adjacent to land owned by the Red River Valley Fair Association. Cass County maintains the highway from Main Avenue to 13th Avenue at Drain 21/West Fargo city limits, and serves as the primary access to the fairgrounds, parking lot and campground. The path will provide a safer roadway for bike and pedestrian traffic. This project was submitted last year for consideration, but was not approved by NDDOT. MOTION, passed Mrs. Scherling moved and Mr. Bennett seconded to approve the Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP)application for a multi-use path on Cass County Highway 28 from Main Avenue to 13th Avenue. On roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously. Mr. Benson said the second project is for a recreational trail for the Hunter/Arthur Joint Park Board JPA. The project named "Northern Cass Pass" has already been approved for funding through the North Dakota Recreational Trails Program and North Dakota Outdoor Heritage Fund and is being developed and funded in phases. If TPA funding is received, the first section of the trail through Arthur would be paved. The county must serve as the official sponsor since the project is located in the rural area, and would only be responsible to process any funding through NDDOT and project oversight.
