Salt Lake County Encourages Input on Regional Trails Master Plan

PRESS RELEASE – Salt Lake County (August 1, 2019) – Salt Lake County Parks and Recreation invites residents to provide input on an update to the countywide Regional Trails Master Plan in series of open houses across the valley this August. The first update to the plan since 1993, the project will result in a new strategy for greater multi-use trail connections in Salt Lake County.

“These trails enhance our quality of life and connect our communities,” said Mayor Jenny Wilson. “We have heard from residents loud and clear that investing in trails should be a top priority. The County is in a unique position to lead this effort toward a complete trail system and I encourage residents to be a part of this important project.”
The project will result in an inventory of all existing and planned regional trails in the Salt Lake Valley. It will identify gaps within the trail network and create an implementation plan to complete trail connections throughout the county. Trail data will be collected from all municipalities within Salt Lake County and agencies such as the Utah Department of Transportation, U.S. Forest Service, Utah Transit Authority and Wasatch Front Regional Council. To learn more about the project go to https://slco.org/parks-recreation/planning/.
