Did You See The New Shared Use Path Along 5600 South?

The new shared-use path along the south side of 5600 South (SR-97) offers a 4-foot park strip and a paved 10-foot trail for all members of the community.

Asphalt provides a great cost-to-lifespan ratio. It sets quickly and can be used by both bikers and pedestrians the next day. It's a very user-friendly surface, providing a smooth, quiet, continuous path with no joints for a more enjoyable cycling or rollerblading experience. Asphalt is also easy and inexpensive to repair, so you don't have to repave the entire route for a small crack. Compared to concrete, asphalt is a safer option. Porous asphalt, in particular, resists freezing and snow buildup, allowing snow to melt and drain away faster.

NOTE: As changes with the traffic shift on 5600 South approach, we will be distributing updated Safe Walking Route information and will be working with the schools and district for messaging and outreach prior to implementation.

The trail closure is in place through late fall 2024. Pedestrians are encouraged to detour via 2700 W.
