UDOT has started construction on the $44.5 million Provo River Parkway trail project, razing hundreds of trees in Provo Canyon to the dismay of a crucial property owner.
, is building a 10-foot-wide paved multi-use trail to close a gap between the Provo Canyon Parkway at Vivian Park and the Deer Creek Reservoir trailhead. The project will tie together two vast trail networks in Utah and Heber valleys.
“Even beyond the ownership issue is the absolute destruction of a swath of trees that didn’t need to be destroyed to put a 10-foot trail in,” Ault said. “The real tragedy is the destruction of that stretch we call the ‘National Treasure.’” But there may be no more trees left along the trail alignment to save, rendering the court action moot.
