Council backs recommended design and funding for Fort Cedar pump track and bike park
Summary
Council accepted committee recommendations to advance a preferred pump‑track/bike‑park design (Better Bike Parks) with an estimated construction budget of about $245,000, using previously earmarked funds and a contingency line; the project will proceed toward procurement and construction oversight.
Cedar City staff and advisory committees recommended a preferred design and budget for a pump track and bike park at the Fort Cedar (Industrial Road) site, and council moved the recommendation to consent for formal action next week.
Staff presented three design proposals and summarized funding sources already reserved for the larger Fort Cedar trail project. The leisure services advisory board and the active transportation committee recommended the Better Bike Parks design, with a total estimated cost near $245,000; committee members noted remaining items (benches, signage, trash cans, and a small contingency) are already budgeted and that the restroom is under construction.
Councilmember discussion focused on scope, cost prudence and whether the selected design used the available space efficiently; staff said funding was already earmarked and that the award would proceed through normal procurement and consent processes.
Next step: council will consider the design selection on consent next week; staff will then proceed to contracting and construction oversight consistent with the approved budget.
