Concurrent Resolution Regarding Scenic Byway Designations

This resolution approves an updated management plan for Utah's existing Zion Scenic Byway, which runs along State Route 9 from Hurricane to Mount Carmel Junction. It directly enables the byway corridor - including Washington and Kane Counties, local municipalities, and the Zion Regional Collaborative - to pursue federal National Scenic Byway designation, as required by Utah law. The plan, developed with local governments and agencies, outlines how the route’s scenic, cultural, and natural resources will be managed. This approval is a procedural step needed before the Utah Department of Transportation can submit the byway for federal recognition.
