First announced in 2015, TfL’s Quietways[37] targeted less confident cyclists who want to use routes with less traffic, whilst also providing for existing cyclists who want to travel at a more gentle pace. “Users travelling farther distances to reach Mill Creek Canyon could more easily choose alternate destinations with little to no adverse impact,” the EIS states. It lists City Creek Canyon as one alternative, although canyon access is limited through 2027 due to construction at the water treatment plant. Plus (aside from the winter) hikers, bikers and those with dogs would no longer have access to the upper canyon during the project. The upper canyon road would be accessible during the winter between Dec. 15 through March 15. The Forest Service doesn’t plan to expand the season use for the upper canyon and the upper road will still close from November 1st through July 1st each year.
