Utah The of Department Transportation has proposed moving South Weber Drive as part of the projected $25 million U.S. Highway 89 interchange. Officials from UDOT, Jack B.

At an Aug. 26 meeting, UDOT officials said they were still trying to squeeze enough dollars to allow a trade of property between the city and their agency to make the realign Following a special Monday, Aug. 30 meeting, a new proposal was drawn up, with much of the discussion held behind closed doors in an executive session, allowed for discussion of operations property during the y event. Randy Anderson of Parsons said his firm is not planning to charge for that privilege.

Mayor Henry Dickamore was mum on details. I wont discuss it until I meet with the city council. Its very interesting to me, he said of the proposal. Ive never seen people so unified on an issue as I saw last night (Monday).

In the meantime, when asked by this reporter if the new proposal looks positive for the city, all Mayor Dickamore would say is, it all depends on your point of view Highway 89 expansion. However, City Planner Barry Burton said an initial 150 foot stretch talked about for commercial development would be too small. We need a lot more land if were talking about getting a Hying J or Albertsons, for example, he said. But all of this could involve some configuring of property, including 2002 Olympics.
