Creating a green corridor “We don’t have sidewalks in Oakley and streets are getting more and more dangerous,” Smart said. “This is a great alternative way for transportation. Not to mention the fact of enjoying nature.” Along with that broad approval of trails comes a mandate to create trails for a broad swath of the population. The plan is to create trails near the Weber River with little or no incline, allowing all types of users to enjoy the trails, from older folks who want to walk along its banks to fishermen and kids on bikes and horseback riders. The latter was a sticking point for the South Summit Trails Foundation. “Because Oakley is primarily an equestrian community and it has an agricultural and equestrian heritage, we want horse people to feel like they can use these trails and they are not pushed off the trails by other users,” Dutton said. “We feel like there are so many bike-specific trails in Park City, they have been pushed out of Park City. ... They can come here and they are not going to be terrified by certain users.” Smart is one of those “horse people.” “I love riding my horse and the idea of riding my horse into town,” he said. “But you take your life into your hands when you do that with the way people drive these days.” Ironically, it might take allowing a little more development to open the corridor up to the public. To link the trail system, the city and the organizations involved TANZI PROPST/PARK RECORD The Seven’s Grove trail is the westernmost trail of what is planned to become the Weber River Trail Corridor. are approaching each landowner along the corridor and talking to them about what it would take to get an easement on the land along the river. Smart said one way the city can bargain with the landowners is by permitting them to build to a higher density on their land than they are zoned for. Smart is hoping that within the next two years the Oakley City Council or the municipal Planning Commission will be able to develop an agreement of some kind to formally offer landowners greater density on their land in exchange for an area of the corridor. Currently, Smart says there are seven landowners in the corridor whose lands are mainly zoned for one unit per five acres or one unit per 40 acres. So far, Smart says the negotiations with landowners have gone smoothly, though they are being approached one at a time as the trail system progresses. And he’s optimistic about the future of the trail, even if it means allowing a few more houses on land adjacent to the corridor. “Compared to Francis and Kamas, we have very few (new developments),” Smart said. “We have less than a dozen home starts a year in the city. It’s not like we’re being inundated right now. It’s just a matter of having a plan.” TANZI PROPST/PARK RECORD Melissa Catmull, left, winds her way through the Round Valley trail system on Saturday in the Round Valley Rambler. Catmull finished the half marathon in 2 hours, 36 minutes and 5.6 seconds. Continued from B-3 Round Valley Rambler ond on Saturday with a time of 1:27:59.4 or Samuel Shewan, who finished third with a time of 01:28:34.6. Both were logged competitive results in some of last season’s races. Owain Rice, who won the Park City Trail Series 15K last season, took fourth (1:32:42.2). Bethany Lewis took second in the Rambler (1:40:16.0) on Saturday, followed by Emma Patterson (1:43:35.0) and Lynsey Gammon (1:46:17.9). Gammon took third in the Jupiter Peak Steeplechase last season. Elizabeth Butler, who took fourth on Saturday, could also be a Triple Trail contender. She took fifth in the Mid Mountain Marathon last season (4:05:46.6). Charlie Sturgis, executive director for the Mountain Trails Foundation, said cool weather likely kept a few people from competing but said the race still had close to 300 competitors, whose registration fees went back to maintaining local trails.
