Not sure if anyone has been following some of the drama regarding the SLC Avenues foothills trails master plan. But in short Save Our Canyons and Save Our Foothills are partnering to revoke the current foothill trails master plan and halt all future development of the proposed trails.
This trail master plan has been in the works for years and was open for public comment and also has been approved by the city. Construction has started, some trails have been built, a few are in the works...but construction has been halted until October.
Save Our Foothills slcfoothills.org and SOC have started a petition requesting the Salt Lake City Council to revoke and redo the current Salt Lake City Foothills Trail Master Plan ....also included in their petition... "social trails" like the Avenues Ridgeline and Bobsled bike trail must also be included and analyzed."

Good news is SLC public lands has a survey... super important that you take the survey in support of mountain bike trails and forward the survey to people you know...I believe the survey is open till the end of the month so not a whole lot of time left.
In the survey comments section it would be good to show support for things like: purpose built trails, directional mountain bike trails, more hiking and biking trails, SOF/SOC are a bunch of NIMBY kooks
etc. Dont mess with the Bobsled trail.
Take survey in support of mountain bike trails.
