This year, the Commission funded six Short-Term projects. These projects focus on partnering with organizations that are focused on implementing transportation solutions, protecting ecosystems and the watershed that originate in the Central Wasatch, stewarding recreational access, and sustaining the economic viability of the Cottonwood Canyons. The funding for these six projects was allocated from the CWC’s 2020/2021 fiscal year budget with $7,500 coming out of reserve funding. The projects that were funded are:

🌞The development and installation of new interpretive signs along the Cecret Lake Trail in Alta’s Albion Basin in partnership with @altaskiarea

🌞Assisting @cottonwoodcanyonsfoundation with their 2021 Preservation and Sustainability Initiative to help address the trail maintenance backlog across the Tri Canyons.

🌞Transit to Trails shuttle service from Park City to some of the highest use trailheads in the Wasatch Back including Bloods Lake Trail and the Wasatch Crest in partnership with @utahopenlands and @parkcitygovt

🌞A user survey intended to inform land managers and stewards of the various uses and needs at three trailheads: Cottonwood Heights Bonneville Shoreline Trail Preserve, Bonanza Flat Conservation Area, and Willow Heights in partnership with the Cottonwood Canyon Stewardship program.

🌞Support of the re-route project at Jacob’s Ladder Trail to the Lone Peak Cirque in partnership with @saltlakeclimbers
The replacement of existing geological interpretive signage in Big Cottonwood Canyon in partnership with the Utah Geological Association.

Last month, the CWC released a set of six “pillars” that the Commissioners believe should be considered when recommending a transportation mode in connection with the eventual mountain transportation solution in the Central Wasatch Mountains. We believe these Six Pillars of Mountain Transportation should be applied to whatever transportation mode is ultimately recommended in UDOT’s Record of Decision in their LCC Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). The Six Pillars are:

⛰️Visitor use capacity
⛰️Watershed protection
⛰️Traffic demand management, parking and bus (or other transit) strategies
⛰️Integration into the broader regional transportation network
⛰️Year-round transit service
⛰️Long-term protection of critical areas through federal legislation

To read about what each of these Pillars mean in-depth and to see the statement, tap the link in our bio.
