Memo: Referral R-21-145 AND Amendments to approved FY2022 Capital Improvement Program (CIP)
Mayor Donchess and Board of Aldermen Members:
The Capital Improvement Committee voted unanimously at its May 20, 2021 meeting, via a vote of 6-0, to
recommend the Mines Falls Park Gateway project (R-21-145). The project was further provided with a
project ranking of A-1, the highest possible ranking.
The Planning Board, at its regularly scheduled meeting of May 20", 2021, recommended and accepted via a
vote of 5-0-1, the following two (2) amendments to the previously approved FY2022 CIP.
« The Spruce Street Multi-Use Trail Connection project will connect the Nashua Riverwalk with the
Nashua Heritage Rail Trail through improvements to an existing trail and the construction of a new
10' wide buffered multi-use path on Spruce Street. The project is proposed to be funded through a
federal Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP). The total project cost is $1.25M, which requires
the City provide 20% match ($250,000).
« The Mines Falls Park Gateway project focuses on the purchase of Lot 77-5 for the purposes of
creating an entryway for Mine Falls Park, providing space for a possible dog park, and facilitating the
connection from the Park to the Downtown Millyard and Riverfront. The purchase price of this
property has been negotiated to $325,000.
The amended FY2022 CIP is attached for your review. Thank you for your consideration of these critical
project amendments.
Sincerely,
Matt Sullivan, Planning Department Manager, CIC Secretary
