Old Business
HWY 55 Underpass update. Robb McDonald and Jerome Mapp.
o ITD has stepped up the timing of this project and could be making final decisions
this fall; it is concerned with the historic nature of the properties that the City is
trying to put pathways through.
o Robb noted that the pathways could instead go in the right-of-way. If that
happens, the City would be required to do this. Gem State Academy is
comfortable allowing an easement adjacent to the north side ROW. City staff is
putting together a proposal to Gem Academy to secure this ROW, ITD will only
consider the tunnel if the city commits getting pathway constructed in 2023 that
connects Vallivue middle school to the tunnel as well to a new neighborhood to
the south.
2023 Budget discussion -Jerome.
■ The PBR budget will remain at $40k/year
Utah state planning project.
o Jerome gave an update on the proposed planning project with Utah State staff
and students. This is currently waiting for confirmation from the City on the
scope of work.
