Good morning, neighbors! 🐝

Happy Thursday! If you’ve ever wished there were an easier way to walk or bike between our towns, there’s an update on the proposed South Davis Greenway. I’ve also got a heads-up for Veterans Day next week and a reason for cat lovers to swing by PetSmart in Centerville on Saturday. 🐾

🚶 Bountiful Accepts South Davis Greenway Study

The Bountiful City Council voted Oct. 27 to accept a feasibility study for a proposed 10.8-mile walking and biking path from North Salt Lake to Farmington. The vote covered the study only. The council asked staff to draft a resolution outlining its concerns before sending a letter of support to the Utah Trail Network.

If built, the path would give neighbors a way to walk or bike between four South Davis cities. 👉 Read More

🐾 Davis County Moves Ahead With New Animal Shelter

Davis County’s new animal shelter is officially underway. On Oct. 27, county commissioners took up a contract amendment with Layton Construction setting the shelter’s construction price at about $21.4 million. According to DavisCountyUtah.com, it passed 2–1, with Commissioner John Crofts voting no over concerns about earthquake and wildfire risks at the site.

Animal Care of Davis County broke ground on the project this week. The current shelter building dates back to 1985, and the new one is scheduled to be finished in 2028. 👉 Read More | See FB Post
