Show November 6, 2012 (Cont'd) created many opportunities for Eagle Scouts to perform such projects as sportsman access points, tree removals, parking lot updates and cleanups. Bill Morris, Marriott- Slaterville city administrator and city attorney, said the two cities have combined heir efforts to make the trail i reality. "We have been in charge of the financing of the project, and West Haven has been in charge of the engineering," he said. Marriott-Slaterville and West Haven obtained a RAMP grant in the amount of $450,000 from Weber County to install the new bridges on 17th Street and near Interstate 15, as well as complete approximately one mile of new trail that will extend the trail system to 1900 West. Both cities matched the project grant, funding that comes from a tax approved by Weber County voters in 2004 that allows the county to impose a local sales tax of one-tenth of 1 percent, which is 1 cent on a $10 sale, to improve recreation, arts, museums and parks. The trail provides a continuous pathway that begins at a point on the northwest side of 1900 West then lazily curves its way along the Weber River, crossing over the Charles McFarland Bridge near the confluence with the Ogden River. The trail continues around the 21st Street pond, where it intersects with Ogden city and connects back to the Ogden River. Dedication of the trail is planned for mid-November.
