Utah lawmakers are looking to honor the late Sundance founder Robert Redford and his legacy this legislative session.
It’s part of Rep. David Shallenberger’s House Bill 491, also known as “State Highway Designation Amendments."
If signed, a portion of Route 92 from Ashton Boulevard in Lehi, east through American Fork Canyon to state Route 189 in Provo Canyon would be renamed to the Robert Redford Highway.
Redford settled in the area that would become Sundance Resort below Mount Timpanogos in 1961 before founding the Sundance Institute in 1980. State Route 92 runs through the canyon past his home.
In September 2025, Redford died at his home near Sundance. He was 89.
HB491 is in its first reading at the House level.
