During a recent government meeting, officials discussed the ongoing development of road extensions in the Daybreak area, specifically focusing on Home Plate Drive and Centerfield Drive, which will connect to Mountain View Corridor. The discussions highlighted the complexities surrounding property easements, particularly with Rocky Mountain Power, which owns certain lands in the area. While some road segments will be dedicated to the city, others will only receive easements for access.

Traffic flow and safety were significant concerns raised during the meeting. Officials confirmed that the new roads will feature right-in, right-out access to Mountain View Corridor, with permits already secured from the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT). The design aims to minimize traffic conflicts, particularly with existing roads like Lake Avenue, and includes plans for deceleration lanes to enhance safety.

Public comments were also solicited, with resident Benio Gardner sharing a personal experience of being struck by a vehicle while jogging. Gardner advocated for a pedestrian and cyclist bridge across Mountain View Corridor, emphasizing the need for balanced planning that accommodates both vehicle traffic and non-motorized transportation. He expressed concerns that the current plans prioritize vehicle access at the expense of pedestrian safety, urging the city to consider walkability in future developments.

In response, city officials outlined ongoing efforts to improve multimodal access, including the construction of a new track station near the ballpark and the implementation of center-running cycle tracks on key roads. These measures aim to reduce pedestrian accidents, particularly those involving right-turning vehicles, by improving crossing designs and creating safer pathways for cyclists and pedestrians.

The meeting underscored the city's commitment to addressing traffic and safety concerns while advancing infrastructure development in the rapidly growing Daybreak community.
