The study is part of the agency’s broader effort to develop the Utah Trail Network; a statewide system of paved trails that connects communities and gives people more choices for how they get around.
Utah DOT said in a statement that it plans to review all the public comments it receives to determine a preferred trail alternative that provides a safe and convenient way for people of all ages and abilities to walk, bike, or scoot between those two cities.
This is the agency’s latest effort to expand and enhance the Utah Trail Network.
In May 2024, the Utah DOT issued nearly $95 million to support 19 trail projects – including the construction of new paved trails as well as funding for planning efforts to fill in existing trail gaps – as part of expanding the state trail network.
The agency said at the time that it collaborated with communities statewide regarding the allocation of that funding – approved by the Utah Transportation Commission – to select the key projects for this statewide trail network.
Utah DOT is also tapping into research conducted by Utah State University in July 2022 detailing how to use the state’s network of historic canal trails as an active transportation solution – helping the agency work with community leaders to make more strategic decisions about building canal paths and trails.
