🚲 Greenway Study Heads to Bountiful Council

Bountiful’s City Council will consider accepting the South Davis Greenway Feasibility Study on Tuesday, Oct. 27, at 7 PM. The report includes a recommended alignment, but acceptance would not approve construction or commit city funding.

Future design work would need to address parking, driveway access, property impacts and maintenance responsibilities. 👉 10-27-2026 CC Agenda

🥾 New Trails Bring a Change to Holbrook

Kinglet and Fools Gold are opening in Bountiful’s Holbrook trail area, according to a post from Kate Bradshaw. With the new routes providing access to the upper trails, Holbrook will become hiking-and-equestrian only, ending its multi-use designation.

Why It Matters: Mountain bikers will need to use the new routes instead of Holbrook to reach the upper trail network.
