Pleasant Grove recognizes Eagle Scout Cameron Wallon for bike repair stations on mountain trails
Summary
The council honored Cameron Wallon for completing an Eagle Scout project that installed two bike repair stations and poured concrete pads on mountain bike trails near Pleasant Grove.
PLEASANT GROVE, Utah — During the Pleasant Grove City Council work session on Aug. 19, the council recognized Eagle Scout Cameron Wallon for a project that installed two bike repair stations on mountain bike trails at the edge of the city.
Dion (city parks staff) introduced Wallon and praised his dedication. “One thing I love about this kid is he always has a smile,” Dion said.
Wallon told the council he coordinated with city staff to select exact sites, marked the locations, ordered materials and organized volunteers. He said volunteers helped build two wooden concrete forms and that the forms were filled in a single Saturday. “I went up with Dion and marked out the sites ... we used the wood that we had requested for two wooden forms for the concrete the bike stations would be sitting on,” Wallon said.
Wallon said the project was intended to support mountain bikers in the area and noted he enjoys biking. He also told the council he had been hit by a car previously while biking, and that motivated him to help make trail maintenance easier for himself and friends.
No formal council action was taken; the recognition was ceremonial. The council presented Wallon with a certificate and requested a photo with council members.
Ending note: City staff said the bike repair stations fill a local need on trail routes and thanked Wallon and volunteers for the contribution to the city’s trail infrastructure.
