SECTION C
Unpaved trail from 37th to 39th South
Description
About 0.2 mile. This section of trail was designated a mitigation area by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service and as such we have not been allowed any improvement of the trail. That designation has recently been lifted and we now can proceed with improvements. There are now no physical obstacles to completing the trail. There are no connections in this section to other trails.
The County has ownership of the World War II Memorial (General Holmes) Park located on the north side of 39th South, east of the river, where the trail passes through the park as it goes north. The County also owns the entire length of the trail north to 2100 South.

Summary of public comment:
Beside the puncture weed problem, the overwhelming concern is crossing safely at 39th South. This needs to be addressed with the county.
Significant Wildlife Habitat, none that would be impacted by the paving of the trail. No wetlands identified. I would add that there are mature cottonwoods, some exotic weed-trees-tamarisk and some scattered Russian olive.
RECOMMENDATION
• Salt Lake County should fund this for paving.
