Presentations considering project progress and requesting input on the direction of the planning efforts were made in October 2019 and November 2019 to Duchesne County, Roosevelt City, Duchesne City, and the Recreation Districts during their regular council and board meetings. Coordination outside these meetings took place with staff and elected officials.

5.1.2 Partner Interaction

Monthly reports to UDOT and the DCSSD#2 board were given through regular emails throughout the project. Input was requested and received for items in the plan through those emails. Copies of these emails can be found in Appendix E.

5.1.3 Outside Sources

As part of the efforts to discover and include best practices from other entities that have been successful in implementing trails in and around their communities, we reviewed and contacted multiple entities to receive input on processes, successes and suggestions for the DCTMP.

Bike Utah was extremely helpful in sharing resources, information and contacts for the development of this plan and the goals of the DCTMP closely align with those outlined in the Bike Utah Active Transportation Plan Standards.

5.1.4 GIS Data Collection

Existing GIS trails and routes data were obtained from project partners, stakeholders and others. Some datasets were delivered directly from the entities while others were obtained from the State of Utah Automated Geographic Reference Center (AGRC) and the United States Geological Survey (USGS). Both of these entities provided shape file data that covered the entire Duchesne County. Other sources of data included in the compiled database but not for the entire county include information from the
