5-12-2026 Bountiful City Council Work Session

The Bountiful City Council held a work session on May 12, 2026, focused on the South Davis Greenway feasibility study, a regional planning effort to develop a continuous multi-use trail and pathway corridor across South Davis County. The study, funded primarily through the Wasatch Front Regional Council's Transportation Land Use Connection program with local city contributions, remains conceptual with no final design or funding commitments yet. The project aims to create a 12-foot wide, physically separated shared use path to enhance active transportation options, improve safety, and connect key community areas including schools, parks, and commercial zones. The council discussed potential impacts such as loss of on-street parking, maintenance responsibilities including snow removal, and driveway access. Funding opportunities were highlighted, particularly the Utah Trail Network program which provides up to $45 million annually for trail projects without requiring local matches. The project is expected to be implemented in phases over several years, with initial funding requests planned for spring 2027 and earliest construction around 2030-2031. An upcoming public demonstration event and open house were also announced to gather community feedback.
