Discussed
The Council was briefed on an ordinance temporarily closing this segment of 1000 West, for up to two years under state law, so the city can fix the rail crossing. The Federal Railroad Administration suspended the Woods Cross Quiet Zone after finding the crossing's safety measures inadequate. Staff said a repair plan would go to the FRA in December 2024, that a waiver application had been filed to speed the process, and that crossings in North Salt Lake also need repairs. Mayor Mendenhall thanked the Council for the original quiet-zone plan.

Council Member Puy moved to close the hearing and adopt the ordinance, seconded by Council Member Wharton, but withdrew it after members discussed notice problems and rail crossings outside the city needing repairs. The Council voted 7-0 to continue the hearing.
