MICKELSEN NORTH SALT LAKE A North Salt Lake improvement , district worth nearly $180,000 is approaching its halfway completion point this week with the installation of curbs and gutters, according to a city official. THE STREET renovation area, located along 1100 North, came as the culmination culmina-tion of a year-long effort by the city fathers to change poor road conditions. Mayor Robert Palmquist said this week that crews have been I working since the first part of ' the month and are ready to install in-stall curbs and gutters. He said laborers have "cut up and ripped out" the old highway there, excavated the standing roadbed and are ready to haul in the road base, which the mayor says will be almost 12 inches thick. This is quite an improvement, he noted, over the former base. WITHOUT an agreement with Woods Cross in recent weeks that the two cities exchange ex-change two pieces of roadway near the borders of each town, part of the 1100 North project would have been delayed. Mayor Palmquist explained that money for the lengthy road renovation comes from a special improvement district fund, a total of nearly $91,000 from the city and $90,000 from property owners. Pioneer Pipeline owns the largest sector sec-tor of property along the project, pro-ject, he said, and will pay about ab-out $33,000. OTHER COMPANIES having hav-ing to pay into the project are General Electric, $20,000, and Continental Oil, at about $12,000. Each owns some property in the area, and according to the mayor, were happy to pay and have the improvements im-provements done. Aside from the large landowners, land-owners, Mayor Palmquist noted that individual resident property owners will also pay. Their sum, at approximately $2500 -per sector, has been accepted by most of the group. Payments can be made over a ten-year period or all at once, the mayor said. THE $90,000 sum owned by the city has already been budgeted, according to Mayor Palmquist. Prices on the other parcels, he said, were based on the amount of property on the street. He said the approximate price per foot is $31.55. |
