Stewart said the pedestrian overpass and new ramps have been installed at the Bangerter interchange and that crews are shifting traffic to new configurations. He told the council a sewer‑line relocation requires a temporary full closure of the right‑turn movements onto Bangerter Highway from 1300 West/130 Fourth. “That’s what I’m being told by my project team — you do it now, you do it later,” Stewart said of the closure timing, adding that the department prefers a heavy‑impact, shorter‑duration approach to closures.

The city’s council members pressed for details on detour signing and outreach. Council Member Pucci asked whether left turns and westbound movements would remain possible from 130 Fourth onto Bangerter during the utility work; Stewart said the project team’s plan preserves certain turn movements and that UDOT staff and the contractor will coordinate detour signing with the city. Stewart said crews expect to start related work in mid‑February and complete the pavement and striping by May 1; he described the active closure window as roughly two months. He also said the contractor is meeting with UDOT communications staff to finalize public notices and detour messaging.

Council members raised concerns about noise, vibration and dust near staging areas. Stewart acknowledged dust is an issue “we are responsible to mitigate” and said typical mitigation is water spraying; he told the council he would provide specifics of the contractor’s dust‑mitigation plan to city staff for public distribution. Council members asked UDOT to prioritize signage directing drivers away from residential cut‑throughs and to ensure businesses in the work area remain accessible; Stewart said UDOT will try to provide clear business‑access signage.

On schedule, Stewart said the large interchange work is on a roughly 360‑day critical path for reconstruction of cross streets, with “substantial completion” for major traffic openings projected across winter into spring of the following year — freeing traffic under new bridges while some ancillary work (landscaping, permanent striping) continues afterward. He said the contractor‑designer model differs between projects: Bangerter used a design‑build contractor while Mountain View Corridor is planned as design‑bid‑build.

Stewart also reviewed the Mountain View Corridor design concept, which will include one‑way frontage roads with frequent slip‑ramps; he said the corridor will be delivered in phases (initial frontage/freeway conversion, grade separations, then widening). He told the council Mountain View is currently funded at roughly $490 million but the projected cost for the highlighted segment is about $1 billion, and that the corridor is being prioritized because it provides an alternate to I‑15 and improves east‑west mobility.

Stewart briefed the council on a separate U‑111 realignment project that could trigger a jurisdictional transfer of 126 South to the city after construction; he warned that jurisdictional transfers can carry long‑term maintenance costs and that the city may be expected to contribute to future maintenance of transferred segments. He also described the Welly Jacobs Canal trail and a planned pedestrian bridge (redesigned to a 12‑foot wide structure), noting UDOT and the city are coordinating design and construction responsibilities.

Stewart closed by saying UDOT will continue working with Riverton staff on traffic control, messaging, dust mitigation and access issues and will provide staff with further details for public communications.

Ending: The council asked staff to coordinate closely with UDOT on public notices, signage and detour routing, and to pass along community questions about dust mitigation and business access. UDOT said it would share a detailed mitigation and communications plan with the city’s communications staff before work begins.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Riverton - City Council Meeting - Feb 04, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Rob Stewart, UDOT Region 2 director, told the Riverton City Council multiple Bangerter Highway and Mountain View Corridor projects are entering a period of concentrated impacts and that a sewer utility relocation will require temporary full closures of right‑turn lanes, with UDOT and the city coordinating detours and public notices.","taxTitle","Riverton , Salt Lake County, Utah","taxId",7396,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6668347,"Riverton council backs state bill to remove mandatory fluoridation; passes resolution of support",135,7532000,7667000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2228480-60301ae187dca69fb0ef7c614eee4468&start=7532&end=7667","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2228480-60301ae187dca69fb0ef7c614eee4468/thumbnail_7532000.jpg","/articles/6668347/Riverton/Salt-Lake-County/Utah/Riverton-council-backs-state-bill-to-remove-mandatory-fluoridation-passes-resolution-of-support","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6668347-371e91af5ae24019bcad1df4a6534afb/orig.mp4?Expires=1773781518&Signature=PljT9nRWeFOo2bADHwIYQDPvLvQLziD2-wnsHZkYqImUIPTAmjWgYG8li7FDt6qgtPv0LjGUCpci77ic3bgZvpyMdsQAEEz-8cwcrF3RmTt36hCIPC1lmDzCtY~UnUWnoSXIBttwIg-uyi9jTOFjgpzJ5OEj7p5vJmRwU6HDMhS2MLS6CfTlqHpDV74nf4flwp4qRUsQlkg0MO-UAson8oU-8iPH4nXpU53d-ekxpDt8CTKLkblfVFkUhG43Bu1kK51zT1h2ObrCCUEa81wHCSiWtICMa7~pqk1ZbBSdl2CVbLHIxYJ~mDIMRtcKiROWERmltx1LRdb8HhKH7rbBBQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Riverton City Council voted to approve a resolution expressing the city’s support for House Bill 81, a state measure to eliminate the mandatory addition of fluoride to public water systems.

In the council discussion the mayor and council members raised safety and cost concerns about adding fluoride to the municipal water supply. The mayor described the potential for over‑dosing incidents and said operations in treatment plants require safety precautions. He and other trustees noted that topical fluoride approaches (toothpaste, dental varnish) are alternatives and argued local jurisdictions should not be required to fluoridate the water supply.

Council Member McKay said the choice to medicate should be an individual decision and that topical treatments are preferable according to her dentist. Council members voiced support for the resolution, and the council approved Resolution 25‑808 (listed as the supporting resolution in the meeting record) by voice vote.

Ending: With the resolution approved, city staff will monitor HB 81 as it moves through the legislature and coordinate with the Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District and other regional providers regarding operational implications if the law changes.","Riverton City Council approved a resolution expressing support for House Bill 81, which would remove the statutory mandate for public water system fluoridation; council members cited personal and safety concerns and directed staff to monitor legislative progress.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6668352,"Council denies text amendment to permit reception centers in 'neighborhood commercial' zone; applicant to pursue rezone",744,6567000,7311000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2228480-60301ae187dca69fb0ef7c614eee4468&start=6567&end=7311","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2228480-60301ae187dca69fb0ef7c614eee4468/thumbnail_6567000.jpg","/articles/6668352/Riverton/Salt-Lake-County/Utah/Council-denies-text-amendment-to-permit-reception-centers-in-neighborhood-commercial-zone-applicant-to-pursue-rezone","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6668352-b166e99b4ad9c5fa727357a6aadd0090/orig.mp4?Expires=1773781518&Signature=ib-Yd8wIqW5DZKZ2lcRHGzgG2FSZHS~Q8RTc0o1r1nCmLDSGm6w4BKbnn2-eAFKGqxXCoFvsvvAVecpVWIVvaA5aPlLxvfE6UBZwVTdO3hcf8zs7d~wVw40LBtgl3k12VNivBObqP5ukU0oZ4jAKRgfGUb-Nl75kjlmfirM5NRhA5D6EK~aJqI0kh3VV74STiL~bs0vJ1npROELRJqBO8whFqHf2ZjwML1T3sxqzEwAs10lPf5Y56bA3dbfDpqVoKWxy3qoreEIkZBHKngcg~642JDgt1KnlVWcRTjpOLfofUQDR4Wvn2xcTWa84FeVG-1501ZQe142URg40a8ecIQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The council voted to deny a request to amend the city’s commercial‑use table to allow reception centers in the neighborhood commercial (CN) zone. The change would have allowed reception‑type uses anywhere the CN zone exists.

City planning staff explained the request was a text amendment (a code change) rather than a site‑specific rezoning; planning staff and the planning commission noted the applicant’s property sits on Redwood Road and recommended the applicant seek a rezone to the commercial gateway zone as a more appropriate, site‑specific option. The planning commission forwarded the text amendment with a recommendation (and also suggested a gateway rezone as the preferred path).

Alice White, who owns the building that houses Wasatch Arts Center on Redwood Road, told the council she wants to expand use of an existing building for small recitals, meetings and community events. Council members said the location on Redwood Road and the building configuration make the property a reasonable candidate for gateway commercial zoning, which would allow reception uses while aligning with corridor standards.

Council Member Broeker moved to deny the text amendment; the motion passed with council members voting in favor. Council members said they would be receptive to the applicant’s pending rezone application to commercial gateway (the applicant had already filed a rezoning request and that application was scheduled for a future planning commission hearing). The mayor also directed staff to consider reimbursing duplicate application fees for the applicant’s second filing.

Ending: The text amendment was denied; the applicant was advised to pursue a commercial‑gateway rezoning and staff agreed to work with the applicant regarding fees and scheduling of the rezone application.","The council voted to deny a citywide text amendment that would have made reception centers permitted (or conditional) in the neighborhood commercial zone; the applicant was advised to pursue a discrete rezone of the property to commercial gateway and staff offered to reimburse duplicate application fees.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6668357,"Council lowers age threshold for city historic‑sites list to 50 years; ordinance adopted",491,6109000,6600000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2228480-60301ae187dca69fb0ef7c614eee4468&start=6109&end=6600","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2228480-60301ae187dca69fb0ef7c614eee4468/thumbnail_6109000.jpg","/articles/6668357/Riverton/Salt-Lake-County/Utah/Council-lowers-age-threshold-for-city-historicsites-list-to-50-years-ordinance-adopted","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6668357-52f434dff14532a027cbeff87fee808a/orig.mp4?Expires=1773781518&Signature=XDM0bTFwKsCfxhJWgXaBD2iGLUyWOkq-di3ouRW30c3WpioW8dldhxe78XdM44ZXFBxvwEf68LDpMktfVxSPBUo4Ilh~hou-DDPt865RadgqT6KQKzxN86t1OHwBoxy31psuu-O~hiGvNR1eaRnBqIIEyNr-HaLQhfZLz~34BWUlSLCHSUxXQ2dIJPahJkA5so~~wXZUewyyaXyB~18-0PPAgk4rgl3r8HIWlBMthwLo0Pe8nyHNAaQGYz4rZa3YI~Uf89tPq23N7ezBDm7OG-ndDbH56rtu7tOpc22OuF075YPTrkOUXApZyEnC4Tem1DoEkiqk5YpRRMttMYP-Xw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Riverton City Council adopted an ordinance amending the Riverton Historic Sites list so that structures 50 years and older can be considered for the city’s inventory, replacing the prior 75‑year threshold.

Ryan Carter, city planning staff, said the 75‑year threshold made it “really hard to find a building that’s 75 years old in Riverton” and noted the Utah State Historic Preservation Office typically uses 50 years as the baseline. He said volunteers on the city’s historic commission asked for the change so the commission could create an inventory and begin outreach to property owners about recognition plaques.

Council members discussed protections and property‑owner concerns; Council Member Broeker and others emphasized that listing is an honorific recognition and said the change does not by itself prohibit property owners from altering or selling their property. Councilmember Broeker noted the city’s historic commission could pursue plaques and that funding for plaques would be subject to budget and likely paid from the commission’s funds.

The council voted in roll call to adopt Ordinance 25‑04 (as read in the meeting). After the vote the mayor and council directed staff to work with the historic commission on outreach and to return with details on plaque costs and implementation.

Ending: The ordinance change creates a working inventory for the city’s historic commission and authorizes staff to coordinate owner outreach and budgeting for plaques and recognition.","Riverton City Council voted to amend the city historic‑sites list ordinance, lowering the age criterion from 75 to 50 years to allow the city’s historic commission to inventory more properties and issue recognition plaques.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6668363,"Resident urges Riverton to revise noise code after enforcement against backyard dirt‑bike riding",508,2489000,2997000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2228480-60301ae187dca69fb0ef7c614eee4468&start=2489&end=2997","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2228480-60301ae187dca69fb0ef7c614eee4468/thumbnail_2489000.jpg","/articles/6668363/Riverton/Salt-Lake-County/Utah/Resident-urges-Riverton-to-revise-noise-code-after-enforcement-against-backyard-dirtbike-riding","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6668363-c3c4801bae1cfc7e7b0d92256250e5ca/orig.mp4?Expires=1773781518&Signature=iOvv~oEdGsH1lTUNC5arivWu62q8wRmFLVOBcaWOR7xkkl6u5a8onJuyLJTolNJmpL4XDC0ZVa4g-9hrDObUaF9Y7xkmPIc-Wf9dOtpqQ6WxEGaLY4WbeVmiC6KFYyOdn2JUbCdws1ZmrKPVFDnOcAnhJuqQ-cyzY6qVEBE5FNz0iqrb8zwJ0V-O0wML-QAnRvwHiZSamnOGW5lTQ04J~jYZS~ugBj0Bk1kfG5iDgkalkEd~4NlmtiWqcWVdfTm~EMt8IuaNekt0~GUtUu8Evpt9NgjJOt4g5CAv8js8cgOrNbilSauLzRArAQe41fLEIKJIgL-CYy17m5R21R3H9w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Justice Goble, a Riverton resident, asked the council to review the city’s noise ordinance, specifically a proximity rule he cited as “800 foot of any dwelling” that he said could be read to bar operation of off‑road machinery, snowblowers and other equipment near residences. Goble said the provision has been used by a neighbor “to prevent them from riding,” and that he believes the code is being enforced only after complaints rather than consistently across the city.

Goble provided decibel measurements for two small dirt bikes and said both would meet a separate equipment standard in the code (he cited readings of about 67 dB and 54 dB at 10 feet for the two bikes at three‑quarter throttle) and that several neighbors had submitted letters supporting the riding. He proposed the council consider codes used by neighboring jurisdictions that prohibit off‑road vehicles in specific public areas (marshlands, parks) rather than a blanket 800‑foot proximity rule, saying that model is easier to enforce and limits unintended consequences for park maintenance and municipal snow removal.

Mayor and council members noted the city currently enforces noise complaints on a complaint basis and that code enforcement has three staff who also cover animal control. The mayor and staff advised Goble that because a neighbor has already complained, the city must follow the ordinance and investigate. Staff said they would place the item on a future work session agenda (scheduled Feb. 18 in the meeting), and that the council may consider code edits to clarify proximity limits, allowable equipment and enforcement approach.

Ending: The council directed staff to return with proposed language and options for clarifying the noise ordinance at a future work session; the mayor reiterated the city’s current practice is complaint‑driven enforcement until any ordinance change is adopted.","A Riverton resident told the council the city's noise ordinance contains an 800‑foot proximity rule that he says has been enforced selectively and effectively prohibits common yard equipment and backyard dirt‑bike riding; the council requested staff place the matter on a future work session agenda.","actionData","errors"]
