The Central Wasatch Commission (CWC) unanimously p The Central Wasatch Commission (CWC) unanimously passed a resolution in opposition to the rescission of the 2001 Roadless Rule because the rollback would remove a critical layer of protection from around 28,500 acres of Forest Service land within the CWC’s geographic focus area in the Central Wasatch Mountains.

On June 23, 2025, U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke L. Rollins announced that the U.S. Department of Agriculture intends to rescind the 2001 Roadless Area Conservation Rule. The Roadless Rule currently prohibits new road construction and timber harvest on nearly 60% of the National Forest System lands in Utah. The rescission of the Roadless Rule would open 28,500 acres of U.S. Forest System land parcels in the Central Wasatch in Big Cottonwood, Little Cottonwood, Mill Creek, and Parleys Canyons that are proposed for inclusion in the Central Wasatch National Conservation and Recreation Area (CWNCRA) designation to unfettered road development and timber harvest.

“In the Central Wasatch alone, there are 28,500 acres of Forest Service land that are currently protected from new road construction, mineral extraction, and timber harvest under the 2001 Roadless Rule. If removed, our vital watersheds and cherished places with premier hiking and mountain biking trails and world class backcountry skiing would lose a critical layer of protection,” said Jeff Silvestrini, City of Millcreek Mayor and CWC Board Chair. “The Central Wasatch Mountain Range is not a huge area and accommodates millions of people each year—losing these protections could pose new challenges to accessibility and the overall mountain experience. The Roadless designation hasn’t impeded fuels management and mitigation at all—and in fact fires often start along roads. Because this area could continue to face threats like this proposed rollback, The Central Wasatch National Conservation and Recreation Area Act (CWNCRA) is our best way forward. The CWNCRA could shield those 28,500 acres of Forest Service land from future threats.”

Draft update to the shuttle option outlined in the Draft update to the shuttle option outlined in the 2012 Mill Creek Canyon Transportation Feasibility Study is available, and the CWC is accepting public comments now, Thursday, October 2, 2025, through Thursday, October 16, 2025. Link in bio to comment!

In keeping with the goals of the Mountain Accord Charter, the shuttle would help maintain a quality user experience and preserve vegetation and wildlife through a reduction of cars—so that the four systems (environment, transportation, recreation, and economy) identified in the Mountain Accord remain in balance.

The 2012 Mill Creek Canyon Transportation Study identified a shuttle as one potential transit solution for the canyon. This updated study sought to address the Forest Service‘s outstanding questions about the shuttle option: cost and parking locations.

To determine the feasibility of a Mill Creek Canyon Shuttle, these analyses were performed:

- Review of past studies and existing conditions.
- Calculations of parking demand.
- Scoping of possible staging areas for shuttle operation.
- Shuttle operations’ impact on recreation fees.
- Estimation of operation costs and the creation of a shuttle service plan.
See the report draft here: https://cwc.utah.gov/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Mill-Creek-Shuttle-Feasibility-Study-Report-Sept-2025-DRAFT.pdf

The CWC is currently accepting comments on the draft update to the shuttle portion of the 2012 Mill Creek Canyon Feasibility Study now, Thursday, October 2, 2025, through Thursday, October 16, 2025.
