Parley's Trail: Final Phase

Parley’s Trail is the first east-west trail linking the Bonneville Shoreline Trail on the east to the Jordan River Parkway to the west. The 8-mile bicycle and pedestrian trail connects a variety of neighborhoods in Salt Lake City, Millcreek, South Salt Lake, and West Valley. This corridor is developed with residential, business, and industrial land uses as well as parks, schools, places of worship, and other urban uses. The area also offers an abundance of historical, cultural, natural, and scenic resources.

Most of this trail is a “Class I” bikeway, separated from traffic and roadways, and functions as a safe alternate transportation route for commuting and recreational riders.

This trail reconnects communities fragmented by intensely urban development and provides a safe, alternative way to travel between schools, neighborhoods, churches, business districts, public services, parks, and connects into a larger network of regional trails connecting users to Utah and Davis Counties. The trail also offers an abundance of historical, cultural, natural, and scenic resources.

This final trail project involves completing the last mile gap of the Parley’s Trail from 900 West to the Jordan River Parkway Trail. The scope of work includes installing a half mile, 10-foot wide concrete paved pedestrian/bicycle trail, installation of a ramp and bridge over 900 West and a bridge over the Jordan River.
