   Bicycle lanes and Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan

   Discussed

   Community Services Director Derric Rykert said the plan dates to 2013 and will be updated through the Parks and Recreation Committee. City Engineer Ben Hunter said 100 West (about 40 feet curb to curb) got 5-foot bike lanes with parking moved to one side. Members questioned the lime-green paint used in the TOD and on 620 South near Harbor Village and Stone Creek, which is peeling and growing weeds; Hunter wanted maintenance costs and preferred spending on sidewalks such as the 200 South frontage road link between 100 East and 100 West. Taylor and Holley raised e-scooter speeds of 25-30 mph on trails. Assistant City Administrator Camden Bird said the plan connects 100 West to the Boat Harbor, Utah Lake and the Murdock Canal.

Final paving is expected the following year.

   • Contingency: $231,500
   • Bids ranged about $2.3 million to $3.9 million; second-low within about $40,000

About $3.4 million is programmed for road capital work (overlays, crack seal, microsurfacing, slurry, 100 West, parts of Water Road, 100 East, and King Street), with total road spending about $6.5 million excluding impact fees, plus a new traffic study. $4 million is earmarked for Fitness Center improvements; its general fund subsidy stays about 35% of operating costs.

A long-dormant electronic billboard earmark is still carried forward. Members debated whether to raise property taxes amid residents' cost pressures.

   Approved · 5-0
