FUS! iy (y - (jy I City discusses school district plans for junior high Martin Conover SPRINGVILLE HERALD Nebo School District Superintendent Super-intendent Chris Sorensen met with the SpringviUe City Council last week to discuss the district's plan to build two, new junior high schools in the Springville area. Sorensen said the district had, "two options at the present time, one was to build two seperate junior ju-nior high complexes in the west fields or one complex in the west fields and one in the east part of town. He went on to say that the district planners could see only one area big enough for a junior high complex under present Utah school building standards and that was to build the new school on the Memorial Park ground and then use the ground occupied by the junior high building as green space: "The school district would build a regular running track and two ball diamonds to help replace the four diamonds which would be lost on Memorial Park," said Sorensen. So-rensen. Under the proposal, the back part of the old Grant Cchool grounds would be used as parking, park-ing, along with the southwest corner cor-ner of the present park. The district dis-trict would also extend the present pres-ent 500 East Street to the north from 200 South to 100 South. The city council looked at the proposal and noted that they would have to give the idea some thought, but indicated they agreeded with Sorensen that two schools in the west fields area of the city was not the best idea. No decision was made in the meeting. meet-ing. In other matters, the council said they are studying traffic flows which will change Jan. 2 when 400 South will be closed from 200 West to north of 1750 West to accomodate the planned construction. "The Utah Department of Transportation has plans to install a traffic signal at 1600 South and State Road 51, the road to Spanish Fork, because of the anticipated increase of traffic traf-fic that will use 1600 South to get to Walmart and other businesses in that area," said Mayor Gene Mangum. The council also agreed to allow al-low placement of two more bill boards along the west side of 1-15 because of an agreement worked out between the city and Reagan Billboard Company. The council decided to give a one-year extension to the current cur-rent agreement with the City of Fun Carnival for next year's Art City Days. However, the carnival will be located at the Arts Park in 2009 because of the construction at the city park and the location of the new fire station. The city will also hire a part-time part-time person to work 15 hours per week with the Communities That Care program, a social program that wiU work on the drug problem prob-lem in SpringviUe and other cities in the county. The city will sign an agreement to give Comcast Corporation a franchise to opperate in Springville.
