The Toquerville City Council convened on March 25, 2025, to address two significant business items concerning infrastructure improvements that will directly impact local residents.

The first item discussed was Change Order Number 18, which pertains to an asphalt overlay and associated work on Joplin Parkway. The council unanimously approved the change order, which amounts to approximately $3,400,000. This funding has already received approval from state engineers, ensuring that the project can move forward without further delays. The council emphasized the importance of this work in maintaining safe and accessible roadways for the community.

Following this, the council reviewed Change Order Number 19, which involves temporary pavement sections on the Tokyo Parkway to meet site distance requirements. This change order was approved for an additional cost of $129,000. The temporary measures are necessary to ensure safe access while permanent solutions are finalized. Council members acknowledged the challenges of mobilization fees associated with these projects, noting that proper engineering upfront could help mitigate such costs in the future.

Both approvals reflect the council's commitment to enhancing infrastructure and ensuring the safety of Toquerville's roads. As these projects progress, residents can expect improved travel conditions and increased safety on local roadways. The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn, marking the end of a productive session focused on community needs.
