Smart stuff. Bike trails bring in people and people bring money that even for essencial stuff adds up.
Salt lake City residents are very into outdoor activities, with biking being very popular.
My buddy’s always talking about how they should build a bike path all the way around Utah Lake. It’s very scenic and the full perimeter would be about 70 miles - a great training ride for anyone who’s planning to do LoToJa or Salt to Saint (popular Utah bike races). And here Governor Cox is working on a truly amazing statewide network of bike paths that any biker would be thrilled about, but it specifically avoids connecting on the west side of Utah Lake.
My buddy’s gonna be pissed.
Love it.
