One thing is certain: UDOT is planning multi-use bike paths in Sanpete County! These paths will extend all the way up to Indianola and down to Axtell, primarily alongside US89, though some areas will take you on quieter back roads. Routes will also go through Fayette, Gunnison to Mayfield, Mayfield to Sterling, Wales to Fountain Green, Wales to Chester to Spring City, and from Moroni to Freedom. In fact, in due time, you will be able to ride a bike all the way up to Day Break and down to Capitol Reef! You can see the interactive map on Utah’s 2023-2050 Unified Transportation Plan website.
Looking Ahead
Keep in mind that a feasibility study is still underway to map out the route from Fairview to Gunnison, which will continue to enhance and shape the route. UDOT has hired a project manager to help manage the project. A UDOT committee will be set up to hire the right engineers to complete the study. These engineers will likely hold a community workshop to gain valuable community insights that will further fine-tune the route. When the study is done, we hope the timeline for construction is accelerated!
Giving Thanks
We cannot express enough gratitude to UDOT, our Governor, and all of our wonderful Mayors, city council members, and county commissioners. We have an incredible community made up of some really ambitious leaders. Please reach out to your local mayor to say thank you! We really wouldn’t be here without their support! I also want to thank everyone who has come to a community ride or activity, donated, shared a post on social media, or talked positively about the project. Your involvement has made this project possible.
