Bountiful’s City Council adopted a resolution on the South Davis Greenway study on November 10 and approved a support letter for the four-city trail. Council members first added language on public outreach, safety and traffic. The proposed walking and biking route would link Farmington, Centerville, Bountiful and North Salt Lake. No route, design, budget or construction date was approved for Bountiful. More details at DavisCountyUtah.com under the Bountiful City tab.
What did Bountiful decide about the South Davis Greenway?
Two things. The council adopted the resolution on the feasibility study “as amended,” and it approved a support letter for the mayor to sign. This closes the question left open on Oct. 27, when the council accepted the study but held its support letter until a resolution could be written.
The South Davis Greenway is a proposed walking and biking route linking Farmington, Centerville, Bountiful and North Salt Lake. Mayor Kate Bradshaw said during the meeting that the letter gives the four cities what they need to apply together to the Utah Trails Network.
What did the council change in the resolution?
Council members added language during the meeting, and staff read the edits aloud before the vote. One added statement says the council has identified “a dearth of public outreach and input from affected property owners and Bountiful residents to date.” Other additions cover public safety and traffic, and a section on public outreach.
Several members said people who live along the possible route had not yet been asked about it. Three residents spoke during public comment; two addressed the Greenway and both supported the study, one of them with questions about road capacity, expected use and maintenance costs.
What changed in the support letter?
The council had several drafts in front of it. It approved the one labeled Version C after removing one full paragraph, the one beginning “As the project advances” and ending with a reference to the availability of funding. The final wording of the resolution and letter had not been posted when this was published.
Does this mean the trail will be built in Bountiful?
No. The vote concerns a feasibility study and a letter backing a funding application. No route, design, budget or construction date was approved for Bountiful, and the council’s added language asks for outreach to residents before the city goes further.
What else was approved Nov. 10?
The council approved two equipment purchases listed on the agenda: a vacuum trailer from Ditch Witch for $68,921 and a pavement saw from Rasmussen Equipment Company for $52,867.
