Orem plans to build the missing piece of Lakeview Parkway, a new road with a paved trail from Geneva Road to 2000 South, connecting west Provo to University Parkway. Utah County funding of up to $14.7 million was approved in 2023; Orem staff said in September 2026 that land and a storm-drain easement are still being acquired and that the total cost is $20 to $21 million.

He put the cost at $20 to $21 million, more than the $14.7 million of regional funds, and the Mountainland Association of Governments will not hold the money indefinitely. Source

Lakeview Parkway: county funding and Orem's required match (work session)
Discussed
In the work session, a presenter (Mr. Kelly in the minutes) updated the council on the Lakeview Parkway project. The minutes say the project was approved to move up in schedule to take advantage of construction timing, that Utah County approved moving its funding forward and approved the interlocal agreement, and that the county would contribute $4,000,000 for 2023 and $10,698,200 for 2024. Orem would have to move up its matching contributions of $500,000 in fiscal 2024 and $500,000 in fiscal 2025, and a resolution was to come back to the council. Members discussed construction costs, right-of-way costs, access points, the temple entrance and construction dates.

UDOT Geneva Road widening and Lakeview Parkway extension update (work session)
Discussed
A UDOT project manager said the project, from University Parkway to 1800 South, would widen Geneva Road to five lanes between University Parkway and the future Lakeview Parkway, realign a segment of Geneva Road, build the Lakeview and Geneva intersection and add bike lanes, a trail and sidewalk. The original scope was $20 million in HB 433 funding with construction in spring 2023 to late 2024; the updated schedule advertises construction in late 2023 and builds from spring 2024 to late 2025. UDOT listed benefits as avoiding rework and limiting resident impacts, and risks as timing of Orem's Lakeview Parkway design and schedule delays tied to the Orem Temple open house.
- Updated schedule: advertise late 2023; construct spring 2024 to late 2025
