Recently, The Salt Lake Tribune ran a nice article about trail building in the southwest quadrant of the valley. The article made note of the crowded trails on the east side of the valley and offered the new trails as a way to get away from trail congestion.
We wouldn’t have overcrowded trails on the east side if the mayor, the city council and The Tribune hadn’t bought into the (mostly) false innuendo of Save Our Foothills and canceled the trail building that had been years in the planning and received overwhelming support during the public hearings. So now two years later, after yet another study, I still have to add to traffic congestion and valley pollution to drive across the valley to recreate on trails. Thanks Mayor Mendenhall. Thanks Salt Lake City Council.
