Bike Path Funding

RANDOLPH, Utah.  February 1, 2017.  Mitch Poulsen, Bear Lake Regional Commission, gave county commissioners a Bike Path Grant update. Funding from the Tourist Transportation Program (TTP) of about $500,000 will extend the path from Ideal Beach to the Epic Recreation Entrance. 

Commissioner Bill Cox said that if it ends at Epic it will bring in revenue for them.  It would also be good for the Sweetwater Trailer Park residents to bike to town. The goal is ultimately to get around the lake with a bike path.  An additional $25,000 from Tourist Room Tax (TRT) will be used to lengthen the path.

Cox told Poulsen to contact UDOT to see if they want to be a partner in the bike trail.


The County Resource Management Plan is also being worked on, using Wayne and Kane county plans as a template, Poulsen reported.  These plans will be used to obtain grants.
