Project Description: The City of Colorado Springs received a Multimodal and Mitigation Opportunity Fund (MMOF) state grant of $1,008,000 for the design and construction of the Hancock Expy Multi-Use path. The state portion of the grant is $504,000, with a local match of $504,000. This new path is adjacent to Hancock Expy and will connect the existing Sand Creek Trail to the new sidewalk on Academy Blvd. The 2,500-foot-long path will provide access to the Sand Creek trail, an apartment complex, a shopping center on Hancock Expy, and Academy Blvd, and beyond.

Subsequent to the initial contract, the City received additional federal funds from an ARPA grant in the amount $1,000,000. The federal portion of the grant is $500,000 and the local match is $500,000.

The initial grant was not sufficient to complete construction of the project. With the additional grant, the City is expanding the scope of the project to address additional issues at the intersection of Hancock Expy and Boychuk Ave. The expanded scope will greatly improve accessibility in the corridor.

The State and Federal funds are administered by CDOT through their Local Agency Program. The City has requested that CDOT budget a portion of the funds to be used for completion of the design phase.

When the process to budget the funds is complete, the City will log an additional change order with PPRTA to reallocate 50% of the amount of this task order amendment to the grant account.
