I’m a biker and I like to ride on the Ogden River Parkway, so I think it will be very fun, and since there will be no motorized vehicles it will be safe for anyone. I think since they’re putting this in, there won’t be as many accidents with bikes. With all the pedestrians in the Valley there won’t be very many accidents in the Valley period. I also think it will be a good way to get around the Valley if you are going to walk or ride your bike. I think it would also be a good idea if you made it so it goes to Wolf Creek and other fun or educational places. So that is why I think you should put this path in I at least will have fun and I’m sure a lot of other families and other kids [will too]. I think we should have a pathway in the Ogden Valley because it’s a fun healthy way to get around. There would be nothing at all with motors to pollute or to cause traffic jams. It’s a natural way to get around Eden, Huntsville, or Liberty. It keeps the Valley how it was meant to be! It is a great and useful idea. I also think that it’s a smart idea because it’s safe. You don’t have to worry about accidents or traffic. There’s no cars rushing around you and no crazy drivers to bug you! I think we should start the pathway as soon as possible! The pathway is for walkers, joggers, bikers or just a good way to get fresh air. I just think it’s a great idea because people [of] all ages can use it! I think we should build a pathway as soon as possible! I think the Ogden Valley Pathways will be a great thing to have in Ogden Valley. It provides a chance for you to enjoy your walk while exploring the great outdoors, in a safe carefree environment. Having it a non-motorized vehicle path will make your walk all the more peaceful. The pathways would eventually be connected and would give you the opportunity to have an extended walk to a lot more places. The pathways in the mountains would be an advantage so that you can look out over the beautiful Ogden Valley. The trails can be used all year long for cross-county skiing, horseback riding, mountain bikes and more. The pathways are good for exercise and recreation. There will be an off-road bike trail on Snowbasin resort land away from existing trails. The pathways will be great for the Ogden Valley residents and for all that come to visit the beautiful Valley.
