In a recent government meeting, officials discussed the ongoing development of 1200 West, focusing on the section from Wheatgrass Lane to 500 North. The meeting highlighted the approval of a road dedication plat for this area, which is part of a larger project by Ivory Homes. The road will feature an 8-foot trail on the west side, two 18-foot travel lanes, and a sidewalk on the east side, accommodating both vehicle and pedestrian traffic.
City officials noted that the development is progressing well, with internal roads nearing completion and building permits expected shortly. However, concerns were raised regarding traffic congestion at the intersection of 500 North and Geneva, which is currently operating beyond capacity. The city is working with UDOT to install traffic signals at key intersections to alleviate this issue, although residents may experience delays until these improvements are implemented.
Additionally, the meeting included a concept review for the Thornton Farm development, presented by Landex Development. This proposal, located between Gillman Lane and Lakeview Avenue, has undergone several iterations, with previous plans featuring a mix of townhomes and single-family homes. The planning commission will review the concept further, with public input encouraged to ensure community concerns are addressed.
The meeting concluded with a unanimous vote to approve the preliminary road dedication for 1200 West, setting the stage for continued development in the area.
