March 21, 2024 · City Council
Work meeting: 3900 South trail, Highland Drive and sidewalks
Discussed
The state transportation department has committed $10 million to the 3900 South trail, with preliminary estimates. Staff recommended the five-lane Highland Drive option at about $30 million. Sidewalk funding is $100,000 to $300,000 a year, so build-out could take about 10 years. Council Member Quinn reported a $2 million EPA grant application for Utah Renewable Communities.
March 7, 2024 · City Council
Work meeting: police restructuring, paving and curb and gutter
Discussed
A police board special meeting was set for March 13 ahead of an interlocal agreement vote, with a 9.7% health insurance increase pending review. The curb and gutter bond budget is $850,000, with $340,000 spent and $510,000 remaining; an assessment found $896,000 in repairs, narrowed to $504,000. The city manager reported a Safe Routes to School award of just over $700,000 for 2700 East Phase 2, a $3.6 million federal earmark and a $1.23 million state appropriation for Highland Drive.

Work meeting: Highland Drive funding, housing report, City Hall and flood property
Discussed
The House Transportation Subcommittee recommended $3.6 million for Highland Drive pre-design and right-of-way work, with the project estimated at about $30 million. Staff sought approval to demolish structures on city-owned flood-mitigation property at 1770 Holladay Boulevard, and the council supported it with a request for proposals to follow. A City Hall seismic evaluation was estimated at about $1.1 million, with staff expecting under $2 million. About 25% of Holladay households pay more than 30% of income toward housing.

City manager report: flood update and Highland Drive
No action
Nearly 400 volunteers filled 4,000 to 5,000 sandbags, with another sandbag event April 29 at Knudsen Park. A $3.6 million funding request for Highland Drive reconstruction was submitted to the House Appropriations Committee. No vote was taken.
June 16, 2022 · City Council
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.
