Resident raises access concerns for Willard Canyon Trail; mayor orders clearer signage
Summary
A resident told the council a 'No Trespassing' sign and a camera near the Willard Canyon Trail entrance may deter public use; Mayor Travis Mote directed staff to install a sign reading 'Public trail, stay on trail' to clarify access.
A resident told the Willard City Council that a 'No Trespassing' sign and a camera near the Willard Canyon Trail entrance may be discouraging public use, prompting the council to direct staff to clarify access.
Mark Murphy (180 West 100 South) addressed the council during open comment and expressed concern that the current signage and surveillance could be misinterpreted by trail users. In response, Mayor Travis Mote directed City Manager Jeremy Kimpton to have a new sign installed that reads "Public trail, stay on trail" to clearly indicate the public right of way.
Council members discussed options for clearer signage and the possibility of celebrating the trail's opening in the future. The council's action was administrative direction to staff rather than a formal vote.
