County pledges $152,000 match for Sheep's Bridge Road underpasses after $460,000 Outdoor Rec award
Summary
Staff said Washington County was awarded roughly $460,000 through the Utah Outdoor Recreation Initiative for three pedestrian underpasses on Sheep's Bridge Road and requested a county match of $152,000; commissioners approved participation and the matching pledge.
Trista (speaker 18) presented the Sheep's Bridge Road underpass project, noting roughly 80,000 annual trail users and the safety imperative of three pedestrian underpasses to keep trails open and separate recreationists from vehicle traffic. She said the county was awarded approximately $460,000 through the Utah Outdoor Recreation Initiative and requested the commission pledge $152,000 in matching funds to complete the design and construction.
Commissioners discussed the modified, lower-cost design and the project's benefits for trail safety and access. One commissioner said the updated design was "a lot less expensive and still functional and necessary." The commission approved the resolution to participate in the grant program and pledge the requested matching funds.
