Tooele County Trails Advisory Board Committee 06/04/2026

The Tooele County Trails Advisory Board Committee met on June 4, 2026, to discuss ongoing and future trail development projects within the county. Key procurement-related topics included the construction of the Sound Wall Trail, coordination with Tooele City on infrastructure projects such as a new well and trailhead improvements, and the development of a bike park near the old wastewater treatment plant. The committee also addressed challenges related to land ownership, particularly the predominance of federal land managed by the BLM, which affects trail expansion and maintenance efforts. Discussions highlighted the need for a consolidated trail plan across multiple cities and the potential formation of a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization to facilitate fundraising, sponsorships, and trail maintenance activities, as the county government faces limitations in raising funds directly. The committee plans to engage with the BLM and local municipalities to advance trail projects and explore grant opportunities. No formal votes or contract awards were recorded during this meeting.
