  1. December 9, 2025 · City Council

    Center Street widening between Geneva Road and 1330 West

    Discussed

    City Engineer Taggart Bowen proposed widening Center Street from three lanes (tapering to two at the railroad tracks) to five between Geneva Road and 1330 West, a connector between I-15 and Vineyard carrying 25,000 to 30,000 vehicles a day. Union Pacific confirmed the tracks remain active, requiring a new crossing and gates. Design is evaluating sidewalks on both sides while limiting right-of-way effects on north-side businesses. The interlocal agreement with Utah County was on the consent agenda.
