Parks and Recreation Outreach Grant Program
Project Description
Using the space provided describe the essential components of your project. Describe the need for
the project, the increased recreational value it will provide, and why Outreach Grant funds are
needed.
1. PROJECT IDENTIFICATION: Describe the basic elements of your proposed project. Include a
statement identifying the needs to be addressed by your project and how your project will satisfy
those needs. Identify the parties responsible for project completion.
The Line Creek Trail currently connects through Riverside by accessing the sidewalk
along Vivion Rd between where the trail crosses NW Vivion Rd and NW Gateway
Avenue. Thanks to a previous Outreach Grant we were.able to complete the section of
trail from Renner Brenner Park under NW Gateway Avenue. This application is for the
final missing link of the Line Creek Trail from the east side of NW Gateway Avenue to
NW Vivion Rd. The proposed trail will follow Line Creek. With this trail connection
complete, trail users will no longer have to access sidewalks to make the connection.
The 10' wide, concrete path will be a safer way for cyclists and pedestrians to travel.
The City has an engineered layout for the 1/3 mile of trail. Riverside will be
responsible for bidding the project and hiring a contractor to install the trail.
2. MASTER PLAN CORRELATION: How does the project relate to community priorities, your
comprehensive or master plan and the County's Park System Master Plan?
The City of Riverside is committed to the health of our citizens. Through our Healthy
Citizens Initiative, we provide our citizens reduced rates for Community Center
memberships. The Line Creek Trail final phase, like all of our other trails, help extend this
Initiative, providing fun and free outdoor opportunities to stay active.
The 2024 Riverside Comprehensive Plan includes a trail network that we have worked
to implement with partners. We have now completed 13.75 miles of the trail plan. The
Line Creek Trail is a key, regional trail on this plan.
Providing Health and Wellness Opportunities is one of the three Guiding Principles of
the County Parks Master Plan. One of the goals under this Principle is to "expand the
greenway trails network." The Line Creek Trail final phase helps to expand this network.
Completing this trail link will allow County citizens and visitors to have a safer way to
travel this important, regional trail.

3. OPERATION & MAINTENANCE: Identify the responsible agency and source of funding that will
support the operation and maintenance of the project/equipment once it is complete. (Land
acquisition projects shall be dedicated to public use in perpetuity; development projects will be
for the life of the proposed facility).
The City of Riverside is responsible for maintaining the Line Creek Trail within
Riverside City limits. The Public Works department consistently maintains Riverside's
trail network to provide a safe recreation environment. Maintenance funds will be from
the City infrastructure maintenance fund under the Public Works Department.
4. TIMELINE: Describe the time frame in which you plan to implement and complete your project.
Identify what activities will occur chronologically and by project phase. If grant request is for one
phase of a multi-year project, describe the scope and cost of the entire project.
February 2025 - Complete easement acquisition from RSM Rental Properties and
Edward and Kathi Rule
March 2025 - Requests bids for construction
May 2025 - Begin construction
August 2025- Project complete
**Throughout construction, we will update citizens on progress via social media and
our newsletter.
5. FEASIBILITY AND IMPACT: Briefly describe the history of your organization's involvement in
parks and recreation programs. Describe who will benefit from this project. Describe how you
arrived at your estimate for how many users the project will serve.
Riverside has been improving parks and trails since the late 1970s. We started with
Homestead Park and have since expanded the park system to include over 60 acres
of park land and 13:75 miles of trail. We continue to enhance our parks and trails
through priority projects that fit our Comprehensive Plan and meet citizen needs.
All ages will be able to use the Line Creek Trail final phase, from a baby in a stroller
to an older adult. The trail meets ADA guidelines so people of all abilities can access
it. The Line Creek Trail currently provides direct access to numerous parks and
neighborhoods. It is one of the most popular trails in Platte County. According to
extrapolated trail counts, the Line Creek Trail is used annually at least 190,000 times.

6. PARTNERSHIP INVOLVEMENT: Describe the partnerships established between local
government, private citizens, community organizations, and/or the business community to plan
and complete the proposed project and the role of each entity.
The City of Riverside will be the responsible party for this project. The Riverside
Park Board, made up of Riverside citizens is supportive of this project. We have
begun discussions with RSM Rental Properties and Edward and Kathi Rule regarding
the easements needed on their properties for the trail connection. RSM Rental
Properties has indicated their support of the project and providing the easement.
7. MATCHING CONTRIBUTIONS: Identify the matching contributions for the proposed project.
Describe the contributions in terms of type, quantity and/or value, and source. (land
contributions must be specific to the proposed project and only for the area needed to complete
the project in order to be considered).
The City of Riverside will be responsible for matching funds. Other trail easements
in the floodplain recently acquired by Riverside have been valued at $0.30 /SF *
24%. We estimate that the RSM easement (8,713 SF) is valued at$627.32 and the
Rule easement (19,006 SF) is valued at $1,368.43.
8. INSURANCE. List the name, address and phone number of your insurance carrier and the
amount of your general public liability coverage. (upon request, copies of insurance policy may
