“2018 program accomplishments each trail and pathway that weber pathways (wp) has constructed involved years of planning, advocating and fundraising before a shovel hit the dirt. There may be some years where the community will not see much construction work. During those years, be assured that wp teams are working hard to make the dirt fly as soon as possible. 2018 has been a year of construction. At lot of dirt has been moved since the end of the 2017. Wp cannot do the cradle-to-grave work we do without the tremendous financial and advocacy support we receive from the community to fund the work and leverage larger grant funds. Nor can it be done without the committed board members who manage the projects, raise funds and help keep the business of weber pathways viable. There were nine projects i highlighted in the spring issue of the post that are in work or have been completed. The total cash and in-kind budget for those projects is 1.23 million. Yes, 1.23 million. During late-spring and early-summer, the highly skilled powder mountain trail construction crew built the 2.1-mile trail in north fork park through an in-kind agreement with wp. The "trail 365", as it was named, provides a great experience for beginning mountain bike riders and will be groomed by ogden nordic during the winter for snow bike riders. The second impactful project was to support the efforts of responsible ogden valley residents who spearheaded the work and fundraising to provide a safe route to school for students and a safe route for residents and visitors to access local businesses. As a result, the team constructed a bridge over the eden irrigation canal. Before the bridge was installed, pedestrians were forced into traffic on a very narrow section of hwy 162. The bridge and new pathway provided a connection between the existing pathway, across hwy 162 from snowcrest junior high, to the new eden village business district. The ov residents stepped up after two years of unsuccessful attempts by weber pathways to get grant awards. A significant number of volunteer hours went into this effort. In addition to funds from the community foundation of ogden valley and weber county impact fees, the team also received in- kind donations from local businesses for engineering and construction supplies and services. The wolf creek drive pathway has been our biggest project of 2018. Wp has been managing the 511,000 project in partnership with weber county and udot to bring a pathway from wolf creek resort to new eden village. The 2 -mile pathway was made more complex by udot requirements to have the path substantially at road elevation. A lot of fill and drainage work and a culvert bridge was required. The upper section of the path will be paved in 2018 with the lower being completed in 2019. The cash funding for this project comes from udot, weber county, weber pathways, a utah outdoor recreation grant and wolf creek resort the fourth project is the long-awaited construction of a safe continuation of the pineview loop pathway as it goes into huntsville town. The project requires complex construction to bring the trail fully into huntsville from hwy 39. Most significant is the build-up of the stream bank behind the guardrail on first south in huntsville. The design was funded by wp. Huntsville teamed with wp to leverage the cost of the design into a grant from the weber county transportation program to fund the construction. A significant spring runoff event in march of 2017 delayed one project and created a new one. The fifth project of 2018, to replace the bridge in winters grove, was delayed due to significant erosion of the river bank at the bridge site in 2017. The bridge and abutments were redesigned. The construction crews are working to get the bridge and a roadbase path installed before winter sets in. The new bridge and pavement being installed on the winter's grove trail is funded by wp, weber county and ramp. The trail connects huntsville town to hwy”
