Provo’s Transportation/Mobility Advisory Committee received an update on a proposed multiuse trail corridor intended to connect the FrontRunner station, across 600 South around the cemetery, to State Street and Lakeview Parkway, and then into a Clyde Properties mixed‑use development on the Provo–Springville border.

Presenters said the route is at the feasibility stage. Avenue Consultants is working with the Mountainland Association of Governments (MAG), Springville and Provo on the study, and the committee noted UDOT and the Utah Trail Network as potential funders. A MAG grant of $150,000 was reported as the primary study funding; staff said the work will be used to refine alignments and make the project “shovel ready” for future construction funding. The study team also considered and rejected a rail‑side ‘rail trail’ alignment because of right‑of‑way and setback constraints.

Committee members emphasized routing the trail off State Street where possible, seeking private partner contributions (Clyde Properties was described as interested in contributing within their new development) and coordinating signalized crossings such as the 900 South traffic signal. The feasibility study is roughly one‑third complete, and staff expected it to be wrapped up and adopted into city and MAG plans in late spring or early summer, at which point funding opportunities would be pursued.

Why it matters: the corridor is intended to improve regional active‑transportation connectivity and link transit (FrontRunner) with neighborhoods, retail and employment centers. The committee noted environmental and property constraints in some segments, and that final alignment, design and construction funding remain to be determined.

Next steps: continue feasibility work with MAG and Avenue Consultants; bring a condensed staff summary and the feasibility recommendations back to TMAC and relevant planning bodies for adoption into local plans.
