Consultants propose Rail Trail, River Trail and Spring Creek connections to link activity centers
Summary
A proposed trail network—Rail Trail, American Fork River Trail and Spring Creek Trail—would link activity centers, improve first/last-mile access to transit and complement the transit study; consultants emphasized regional coordination with Lehi and interim connection options.
Alta Planning presented three major trail corridors to support the Polycentric City Center Plan: a Rail Trail using rail right-of-way to connect East Gateway, Downtown and Commercial Center; the American Fork River Trail connecting Downtown to the Utah Lake Shore Trail; and a Spring Creek Trail on the west side connecting the Commercial Center and the Transit Center.
Brian Tonetti said the plan builds on past planning efforts and includes interim alignment options where permanent trail connections are constrained. He also noted the importance of coordinating trail alignments with neighboring Lehi to ensure continuity across city boundaries. "These trails provide an important complement to transit by addressing first- and last-mile connectivity needs," he said.
