  4. Sugar House Park Master Plan
  5. Parley’s Historic Nature Park Master Plan

  8. Other master plans as identified.
Facilitate the development of all trail corridors identified within the SHCC boundaries. Report to the SHCC on the activities of the Sugar House Park Authority, the Friends of Sugar House Park, and Friends of Hidden Hollow. Make recommendations when SHCC should explore conservation easements and funding for the preservation of open space. The committee approved the following goals for the year 2010:
  1. Request funding for a feasibility study for the Canal/McClelland Trail to 21st South. Generate data from members of the community who would be directly affected by the installation of this trail and others in the Sugar House area who would use it. Monitor proposals for new developments along the Canal trail alignment.
  2. Install playground equipment in Parley’s Way Park and signage in Hillcrest Park.
  3. Ask the City to create a Parks Commission.
  4. Support Sugar House Park Authority with their programs.
  5. Develop and enhance pedestrian crossings in the business district.
  6. Request funding to acquire land for Imperial Neighborhood Park and to build the North Brickyard Park on Crandall Ave.
  7. Incorporate a permanent off-street trail in the planning, design, and construction of any I-80 improvements.
