"Recent research. . .indicates that in communities ranging from San Luis Obispo, California to San Antonio, Texas, beautification and development of midtown waterways resulted in substantially increased trade in those districts due to a related rise in visitation," Robbins wrote. "It is expected that the Moab community could see similar results in its local economy, indirectly virtually all. . . residents." At the recent hearing Robbins said support from landowners along the creek is requisite to the project's success. Houses are located near the creek along most of its northwesterly course from the La Sal Mountains to a confluence with Pack Creek near First South and Main.

The trail will be groomed on either Thursday the 26th or Friday the 27th. Registration for the frail ride is not a requirement for use of the trail.

The Division provides groomed frails and ranger patrols in various locations around the state. The Moab area has not had much grooming activity in the past, because of the small number of snowmobiles in the area. If the winterfest attracts a suffi- cient number of snowmobilers, or the public use is great enough, the Division may provide some future frail grooming for the Moab area.

Colleen Taylor said she liked the idea of a parkway, referring to similar development in San Antonio as "an amazing thing" and suggesting the city start at First South and develop upstream several blocks, then go both ways.
