UDOT parcel exchange for Pony Express Parkway and 700 West corridor
Pending
Cooperative agreement trading land so a phase of Pony Express Parkway can be built from the Lehi border to 700 West, connecting 700 West to the parkway. UDOT bought its parcel in 2011 for the Vineyard Connector, but housing has since blocked that alignment; the new corridor from 1900 South in Lehi to I-15 generally follows a high-voltage power line, using land the city received through the AF Crossings development. No budget impact.
