Bike Path

RANDOLPH, Utah. May 2, 2018.   Tyler Stuart, Rich County Engineer from Cook, Sanders, and Associates, and Mitch Poulsen, Bear Lake Regional Commission, said that UDOT has been given the 90% plans for the bike path from Ideal Beach to Epic Recreation Beach. In the last meeting, it was decided there was a need for a wetland study which might cost $1500 dollars unless they found problems, and then it could cost as much as $3,000.  The wetland study will be done by Bio West.

UDOT doesn’t want to cut through the rock wall but wants a retaining wall that is three feet high and about 300 feet long.  Landowners along the bike path who have driveways are concerned about safety issues.  So the design has been changed to give a longer line of sight for passing motorist. UDOT is also looking at changing the speed limit at the area around the Sweetwater trailer park turn off because there is a blind corner and lots of people turn there. 


Construction should begin in the fall to avoid the busy summer season.
