' t - 1 t Boulevard plan: rnovina aiona by Julie Bellon The new freeway interchange inter-change that connects to the Pleasant Grove Boulevard now is fenced on both sides with water and sewer all the way down. "We're almost ready to bring in road base on the Boulevard," Frank Mills, city administrator said. - Two lanes each way with a fully landscaped 15-foot median dividing them is planned. The cutouts in the median medi-an for a waterfall coming all the way down from the interchange to the Boulevard Boule-vard is almost complete. "It will be a small creek cascading all the way down, and recirculating," Mills said. A small pond of water will connect to the waterfall. water-fall. Grass and other landscaping land-scaping features are also planned. Lindon city originally agreed to the landscaping plan and recently made UDOT and Pleasant Grove aware that they now do not want to spend the money on landscaping. "UDOT allowed a 30 percent per-cent reduction in landscaping landscap-ing features on the Lindon side, but it's going forward pretty much as planned," Mayor Jim Danklef said. Danklef also pointed out that the boulevard is not a straight shot into the city. "We didn't want to displace dis-place anyone," he said. "We tried very hard to be mindful of the residents that were already living there." The interchange and boulevard are also attracting attract-ing many new restaurants and businesses. "We have firm commitments commit-ments from Cafe Rio, Panda Express, and Quizno's," Danklef said. Gas stations, tanning salons, and a scrapbooking store are also planned. "There's a lot of potential for this area," Danklef said. "We're setting the bar high so the development is well-planned," well-planned," he added.

"The fountain should be done this week " said Frank Mills, city administrator. The faux rocks are in place and waiting for color, and the fountain will cascade down them and re-circulate with a pump. "It will also be lighted at night," Mills reported. The other feature ready to be finished fin-ished is the clock itself. "The hands are in a big box in my office," Mills said. "I'm afraid I'll break them if I open them." All four clocks will be synchronized and coordinated with a chime system. "It will be similar to the BYU carillon," said Mills "It will play all kinds of music like Happy Birthday and such." A time capsule is also planned for underneath the tower.

"We'll start pouring this week," John Schiess, Hor-rocks Hor-rocks engineer said. "We have to do it in sections, kind of like a checkerboard. There is seven inches of concrete and 'ery thick footings." The only problem with pouring the concrete is the heat wave that Utah is currently cur-rently experiencing. "Ideally we need the temperatures tem-peratures in the 70s for the concrete," Schiess said. "That means we'll be pouring pour-ing about 3 a.m. which might disturb some neighbors neigh-bors with our trucks back ing up. If the concrete is not poured under the right conditions con-ditions it hydrates too fast and cracks. "We're very careful about the temperature and the sun," Schiess said. It's taken slightly longer than anticipated to get to this point because the sub-grade sub-grade wasn't stable. Material Materi-al was brought in to stabilize stabi-lize it and the engineers feel it is very solid now. Liner was laid last week to keep water from ever running into the subgrade. After the floor is poured they will begin testing the 24-inch pipes.
