Active Transportation in St. George

During its first meeting in January 2017, the St. George City Council adopted unanimously an Active Transportation Plan. The plan seeks to promote walking and biking as a means of transportation in St. George by improving and extending the network of trails and paths.  

Even though around 40 percent of the city’s population is either under 16 years old or over 70, and are either unable or less likely to drive, over 93% of overall trips in the city are done by car. In addition, approximately 40 percent of all trips within St. George are under 2 miles. The plan aims to make it easier for people to bike or walk to shopping, work, school, and to visit friends.

Currently 155 miles of paved and unpaved trails, as well as bike lanes and shared vehicle/bike roadways, exist in St. George. The Active Transportation Plan recommends increasing that to 344.5 miles.  

Within the Downtown area the plan would make many improvements including upgrading the existing bike lane on 300 S from a bike lane to a buffered bike lane. Buffered or separated bike lanes will be added to 600 S, Tabernacle, Diagonal and Main Street. Access to Dixie State will be improved by what appears to be a freeway crossing at 400 E for bike and pedestrian traffic.

Monthly Tip

Replace your anode rod in your water heater every 5 years. Anode rod you ask? The anode rod’s job is to attract corrosive elements in your water. The rod will become corroded over time.  If the anode rod becomes too corroded your water heater will rust and need to be replaced sooner. You can double the life of your water heater by timely replacing your anode rod.  In most cases, the hexagonal head of the rod is visible on the top of the water heater. New anode rods can be purchased at home centers or online. For instructions on how to replace the anode rod go to:familyhandyman.com
