7  Project Priority Lists Details and Implementation Plans

7.1  Implementation Strategies and Performance Measures

This report has been written with the intent that the priority projects are easily identified, and implementation steps associated with each project that are clear and achievable. It will make sense for different entities to lead different projects on the priority list or others on the project list, but coordination with UDOT, the trails Committees, Duchesne County and others, even if they are not the lead agency should help lead to increased project success and hopefully streamlined implementation of projects.

It is suggested that a county-wide trails committee meeting be set up at least annually to review the priority lists and planning coordination and funding efforts for that year.

As projects are implemented, they can be crossed off the list or revised to address the needs of the project going forward. This Master Plan should be updated on a regular basis (suggested every 5 years) so that new priorities and implementation plans can be made and progress on trails and routes in Duchesne County can continue to progress.
