Show Second Interchange At Least 1 5 Years Down Road, City Council Told I-- ROY Roy area residents may get another interchange on but not for at least another 15 years. Support was given by the Roy City Council last week for initial stages of planning for the proposed interchange that would be located at 4800 S. in Roy. The proposed interchange could take up to 15 years from conception to completion Byron McGregor from the Wasatch Front Regional Council told the council. He said the council needed to give their commitment to the project at this point so they could proceed with the plans. He said the next step in the process is to get the federal highway department to approve the interchange and to work ' up a cost benefit plan on the proposal. He said this basically justifies the need for the interchange. Drawings of the three proposals were shown to the council by city manager Richard Kirkwood. He said that after review by the Wasatch Front Regional Council they had determined that proposals A and C were the most applicable for the area. Each of these plans is estimated to cost around $6 million. Proposal B, which would be the less expensive approach costing around $4 million, was not felt to be an adequate plan.- It would not allow for a northbound ramp or access to the east side of the freeway. Plans A and C would both provide for access to either side of the freeway as well as ramps to the north and south. Plan A would require building structures over the freeway, frontage road, - Reiew, !Noenil)er 28, 1980, Page Lakeside 15 13B and railroad tracks. Plan C is felt to be; out of the three proposals, the one which would disrupt traffic the most. It calls for a structure that would pass under the freeway and frontage road. McGregor told the council that there are three sources of funding that the city may want to investigate. He said they could bond themselves and finance it on their own, apply for federal primary highway funds, or try for federal urban funds, which would be a fairly remote possibility. McGregor recommended the city, at this point in the plans, take the necessary steps to notify the others, such as Riverdale City and Weber County, that would be affected by this venture. He said they could discuss the funding and perhaps work on the project jointly. Assistant Mayor Earl Morris questioned McGregor on the appropriate time to acquire the land that would be needed. He said that because the proposed plans show the possible need to buy several homes in the area he wondered if it would be an appropriate step to take in the near future. ' McGregor said that was definitely a factor that needed to be addressed. He said that because they had looked ahead in Layton years ago and acquired the land for their interchange it had helped speed up the process. The council moved to have the city manager go ahead with the plans and also contact the other area governments that will be involved in the PLAN A OF THE PROPOSED ROY interchange at 4800 South would be a the railroad, overpass which would require a structure over interstate and frontage road. It would require the building of a new road to provide access back onto 4800 South and into Riverdale City. Portable Heater, still within reach of youre home-heatin- g comfort.
