Phase III of Parley's Trail Offically Opened

New Section of Parley's Trail

Offically Opens

The third phase of Parley’s Trail, which runs from the pedestrian bridge that spans I-215 to Tanner Park, is offically opened. The newly paved .9 mile section of trail provides County residents with more alternatives for walking, biking, commuting and recreating.

Parley’s Trail is a paved bicycle and pedestrian trail, currently under construction, which follows the Interstate 80/Parley’s Creek corridor from the Bonneville Shoreline Trail at the mouth of Parley’s Canyon to the Sugar House Business District with the end goal of connecting with the Provo-Jordan River Parkway. When fully completed Parley’s Trail will be about 8 miles long and will be the major east-west connector trail through Millcreek Township, Salt Lake City and South Salt Lake City. Currently the trail reaches from Tanner Park eastward over I-125 via a pedestrian bridge and connects with the Bonneville Shoreline Trail. Additional phases of the trail are progressing.

Phase III of the Parley’s Trail was designed by HW Lochner Engineering Firm and constructed by Cal Wadsworth Construction. Cost for Phase III was approximately $2 million dollars of which $1.6 million ( 80%) was from Federal funding and $400,000 (20%) came from local matching funds from Salt Lake County and Salt Lake City. Private donors have contributed nearly $300,000 on all three phases to this point.

To date over 300 plants and trees have been planted which were provided by PRATT with support from private financial donations. Water for the new plants until they are well established will be provided by a drip irrigation system connected to a number of cisterns also made possible by PRATT with the help of private and corporate donors.
