    Transportation master plan (work session)

    Discussed

    Horrocks Engineers presented a plan revised for council feedback. The mayor and Council Member Donna Burnham supported wildlife corridor language proposed by the Eagle Mountain Nature and Wildlife Alliance. Wright said the plan should focus primarily on vehicles, opposed the complete streets policy and said he would vote against the plan unless it was removed. Curtis raised concerns about the future freeway's effect on Sage Valley and North Ranch homes. Bus route 806 is unchanged and two park-and-ride locations received partial funding.

    Transportation master plan

    Tabled · 5-0

    City Engineer Chris Trusty presented revisions. In the work session Council Member Brett Wright suggested UTA On Demand service and asked to remove the complete streets policy section; Council Member Donna Burnham noted UTA has not committed to On Demand service, and bike lanes were discussed as a funding factor. Council members want to review alignment changes, including relocating the future freeway and Old Airport Road, and consider buffers such as commercial uses or open space; two members will work with staff. The council tabled the plan to the next meeting.
