Parley's Trail is an east-west cycling and pedestrian greenway in the Salt Lake City region of Utah, United States. The route serves as the primary connector between the 40-mile north-south (64 km) Jordan River Parkway to the west and the Bonneville Shoreline Trail to the east -- which itself links with numerous other trails in the forested Wasatch Mountains. The trail parallels the S Line streetcar though the neighborhoods of South Salt Lake and Sugar House before running along Interstate 80. After years of planning and citizen advocacy, 5.2 mi (8.4km) out of approximately 8 mi (13km) have been fully separated from road traffic. Another 1.2 mi (1.9km) of separation including bridge and tunnel work is actively being conducted by the Utah Department of Transportation with an expected finish of summer of 2017. In gaps where the path isn't fully separated from cars, the trail has been temporarily routed on sidewalks and on-street bike lanes. Maps and updates on the project can be found on the Parley's Trail Alliance website.
