City reviews off‑street trails master plan, prioritizes Hidden Valley corridors and Mountain Ranch bike‑park fixes
Summary
City planners and Bike Utah presented a master plan that organizes trail data, flags land‑ownership conflicts (44% of miles on SITLA land), recommends prioritizing city‑owned trails, repairs to Mountain Ranch Bike Park, and estimates $900k–$1.5M for major bike‑park construction and $300k–$500k for trailhead improvements.
Steve Mumford and Cameron Carter presented the Off‑Street Trails Master Plan that compiles a trail database, prioritizes trails for preservation or rerouting, and recommends immediate steps for the Mountain Ranch Bike Park and for trailheads and signage. "There are a lot of trails in Eagle Mountain... 44% of trail miles are on SITLA land," Carter said, emphasizing that many trails lack access agreements and may need rerouting or closure if agreements cannot be secured.
The plan proposes a redesigned Mountain Ranch Bike Park with an uphill access trail, graduated difficulty levels and an asphalt jump line, and a prioritized list of trailheads costing an estimated $300k–$500k mostly for restrooms and parking. Councilmembers urged clearer phasing, grant pursuit, and stronger outreach to volunteer groups; staff said they will return with a plan adoption item and an implementation schedule.
