Council approves Prop 1‑funded bike lanes and Canal Trail agreements

Clearfield City Council approved two interlocal cooperation agreements to advance active‑transportation projects: a Depot Street bike lane and shared‑use path and a Canal Trail connection that would create a continuous pedestrian/bike route between 200 South and 300 North.

Braden/Brandon (public works/infrastructure staff) presented the Depot Street project and said the city secured roughly $219,000 in Prop 1 county funds to help pay for bike lanes and a pedestrian trail alongside a private development area where right-of-way will be coordinated with UDOT and UTA. Staff said UDOT/UTA are working with the city and the Double Tracks project to provide a betterment that supports the trail. Council approved the interlocal agreement and authorized signatures by voice vote.

Staff then described the Canal Trail shared‑use path proposal to build a pedestrian connection along county canal property, filling a gap where the trail currently uses neighborhood streets. The city received roughly $363,000 in Prop 1 funds from the county for that project. Council moved and approved the resolution to enter an interlocal agreement with Davis County and authorized signatures.

Council members voiced support for improving nonmotorized connectivity, noting such projects help implement the city’s active‑transportation plan and will require coordination with county and state partners for right‑of‑way and construction timing.
