S.E.-224 Trail Project public open house

Public is encouraged to attend open house and voice comments and concerns

The Utah Department of Transportation and Summit County are holding a Public Open House on April 24, 2008 from 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm in the Summit County Library Building located at 6505 Landmark Drive at Kimball Junction, to present the proposed design of a transportation trail to be installed along the east side of SR-224. The project is located between Silver Springs south (actually ends at Snyder’s Mill) to the McLeod Creek Trail near the Jewish Temple (across the Hwy 224 from St. Mary’s Church). The project also includes the enhancement of the transit stops at Park West Village and at Silver Springs (actually at Maud Snyder’s homesite next to Snyder’s Mill. The transit stops will include a shelter with bicycle stands.
The open house aims to provide residents, the general public, business owners and service providers with an opportunity to discuss the purpose and need for the project, view possible alternatives, and allow them to make comments on or address concerns about the project’s scope and direction. Summit County want the community to be involved in the project.
The Open House is a critical step in the environmental process for the project. The public comments from the open house will be considered by Summit County and UDOT when they determine advantages and disadvantages of the alternatives. The project is needed to provide a non-motorized trail to link between the two existing transportion trails along SR-224 (Park City SR-224 Trail and the Snyderville Basin Recreation District’s Millennium Trail, to improve non-motorized transportation through the SR-224 corridor. The County will accept comments before May 24, 2008, by mail, fax, or email to: P.O. Box 128 C, Coalville, UT 84017; Fax: (435) 615-3043; or [email protected].

The location of the Proposed Transit Stop at Snyder’s Mill (south of Parley’s Park Elementary School visible at the top of the photo) is the former location of the home of
David Stockwell Snyder (1867-1941) and wife, Maud Lincoln Snyder (1889-1986).
David is the son of Ephraim Stockwell Snyder and Susannah Fullmer Snyder (both buried at the Snyder Cemetery) and grandson of original Snyder pioneer Samuel Comstock Snyder (1808-1886) and wife Henrietta Marie Stockwell (1810-1888).
The original cottonwood trees that surrounded Maud Snyder’s home can still be seen from S.S.R. 224. –Photos courtesy of Lucy Archer 2008

David S. Snyder and Maud Lincoln Snyder home until 1986, stood in the center of these cottonwoods on Hwy 224.

Maud Lincoln Snyder homesite was surrounded by these cottonwood trees from late 1913 to 1986 on Hwy 224.
Maud died at the age of 95, on May 17, 1986, while living in the original home.
