They discussed the warrants that the state has adopted to go by for traffic control devices. These range from a volume of traffic on all roads to an intersection to an accident rate. Joe Welbom said if UDOT didn't consider there was enough traffic in the area they only need to be there when a Union football game lets out "Cars cut through parking lots and use the residential roads as highways. Has that been considered by UDOT? he said. October 14 study Lewis from UDOT said the latest study of the 600 East intersection was done on October and showed a growing traffic pattern at the intersection. To meet warrant number one there needed to be 150 cars per hour cross the intersection on the north or south leg. On October 14 the highest number was 105 from 6 to 7 p.m. Mursuri said with the traffic increase in the area, and the impact of the new LDS Stake Center along 600 East, he expects the traffic pattern to increase and warrant a light within the next six months. As the meeting wound down Rhea Allred called for a show of hands from the audience on the options for painting Highway 40. Only a couple of hands went up for the five lane option (two lanes in each direction and one. center turn lane). The clear majority of the audience was in favor of making it a two lane road with parking along both sides of the road. UDOT offered additional options of widening the street or finding a new route" but they didn't receive positive feedback.

The UDOT team agreed that it was not an option they would pursue because the "heaviest traffic flow is westbound" but the eastbound flow was close enough to muke it a four lane with a turn lane. U DOT'S team of represen- tatives said they leaned" toward the four lanes and installing a light but cannot make the decision just on that.
