Trail Along Power Line Right of Way

3/31/15- left message with Rocky Mountain Power.

4/1/15- spoke with john @ rmp. 801-725-4556 if the assoc. wants to fence/ gate the roadway we could do that at our expense… would require a 12′ gate & they would provide the padlock. Would have to also maintain a pathways access/ped/horse. Homeowners of adjacent landowners are responsible to fence their own property if they like. *Power line pre existed the subdivision & pole patch was built around it.

*Shawn sent this email to weber pathways 3/31/15…

3/31/15 I understand the Bonneville Shoreline Trail runs along the power line right of way through pole patch subdivision… I am the current president of the neighborhood association & this year we have had multiple complaints of people coming in on the trail from the east into our gated community on/in motorized vehicles & also trail users leaving the trail & trespassing across private property- This last week several cars drove in from the east- and “partied” on the trail- loud music etc… and leaving debris behind. What can be done to curtail motorized vehicles on the trail & to encourage trail users to stay on the trail? can posts/gates/boulders be put on the road to prevent vehicles/ 4 wheelers from using the trail? at the places along the trail where “new trails” leave the legitimate trail & come into private property can signage & barriers be put up? Also right now the trail “ends” on Pole Patch road (inside our gated community) can the trail be extended to the west where it meets box elder… and trail users be encouraged to keep on going- rather than come up into our neighborhood… where they will ultimately trespass across someones property to access the mountain areas. Please reach me back either via email or call me directly at 801-458-4328 so we can make the trail work for everyone.

Shawn,

We’re sorry to hear that you have had some challenges regarding the BST trail in your area. You are correct that the trail follows an easement on land that is owned by Rocky Mountain Power Co. With that in mind, any changes to that access road would need to be approved and constructed by RMPC. As far as an law enforcement issues; noise, improper vehicle use, littering, etc., you would want to contact the Pleasant View Police. I hope this information is helpful. Please let us know/

Best wishes,

Rod

Shawn,

There are plans to eventually create a connection from the existing BST trail terminus to the Rail Trail. Presently there is no proposed date or firm routing information available. As far as posting signage along property lines, it would seem that would be best done by the individual property owners, as they will know the appropriate boundaries to sign.

Thanks,

Rod
