Tonight there is an open planning meeting held under the direction of the planning commission with UDOT.  The discussion is covering the funds available to upgrade and address traffic flow and safety issues along Hwy 89.  As it stands now, UDOT is planning on starting @ 1100 South in Brigham City and head south as far as possible.  They hope to be sending out to bid the construction specifications sometime around November 2007.  Depending on whether or not there are needs or requests for additional features such as curb and sidewalk on both sides of the road - all will go into determining the length of Hwy 89 that will receive the updates.

UDOT is looking to work with the city and community to determine the scope and needs of this project.  This is all exciting news for the community as we can now hopefully address some of the issues that have arisen over the past with the growth of the community and increased traffic.

 And for everyone’s information, UDOT is planning a 2nd follow up meeting next week to meet again with the planning commission, city council and anyone else interested.  It will be Thursday, August 2nd @ 5:30pm at the City Offices.
