New Building for Utah Museum of Natural History . The links
contains information on the impact on the trails near the building
site. In summary:
"Trail use and access will be maintained throughout construction and
after construction. If temporary construction-related disruptions to
use of the existing trail alignment are necessary, temporary
realignments may be installed to assure continued trail use through the
site. Every effort will be made to minimize disruption to trail use
while assuring public safety. "
"The Bonneville Shoreline Trail and trail access are factors in
Museum site planning and EIS alternatives analysis. The Bonneville
Shoreline Trail will continue to be integral to this site. EIS
alternatives may consider minor permanent trail realignments. Any
such approaches will be subject to public review and comment on the
Draft EIS."

Rob's Writings
This report from 1992 summarizes the
state of cycling facilities on the University of Utah. It also contains a
list of recommendations for enhancements to the campus. This was very much
a team effort of the University of Utah Bicycle Advisory Committee, which
was in place at the time and for a few years after. I was fortunate
enough to be chair of the committee.
These are links to articles I have written for Cycling Utah (and thanks to
the folks at CU for making them available).

Bikes and Transit
Cycling and mass transit should be natural allies with shared goals--to
reduce the use of automobiles, especially those with only a single
occupant. Here are some links to information and sites describing good
solutions for some of the technical options to mix bikes and transit
effectively.
