    Temporary closure of 7200 West between Interstate 80 and California Avenue

    Discussed

    Staff briefed the Council on closing the segment from April 2024 to March 2026 because recurring illegal dumping has raised fire risk and caused cleanup costs. State law allows closing certain streets for up to two years. Three main property owners border it: Union Pacific Railroad, Kennecott (Rio Tinto) and Waste Management of Utah. Emergency access would be kept. Council Member Puy asked for more signage to deter dumping.
