Work meeting: Highland Drive study and skate park concept
Discussed
Staff estimated construction at $21.5 million including a 30% contingency; burying utilities would cost about $8 million versus $280,000 to relocate them, and the council's sense was that burial was not feasible without other funding. A survey found 42% for a complete street alternative and 52% for a five-lane alternative with a multi-use pathway. A grant application to the Wasatch Front Regional Council is planned for fall 2022. No votes were taken.
