Riverton Council approves new Valley Grove signage for enhanced visibility

During the Pleasant Grove Planning Commission meeting on April 10, 2025, a significant discussion centered around the proposed installation of a prominent entry sign for Valley Grove, aimed at enhancing visibility and promoting the area as a key destination in Pleasant Grove.

The proposed sign, designed to be 12 feet tall with an 8-foot lettering height, is intended to serve as a welcoming landmark for visitors arriving via Pleasant Grove Boulevard. The sign's design incorporates elements that reflect the identity of Valley Grove, including symbolic trees, and aims to address visibility challenges due to the area's elevation changes. The goal is to ensure that drivers can easily recognize the location as they approach from the interchange.

In addition to the sign, plans include landscaping improvements at the corner where the sign will be placed, further beautifying the entryway and enhancing the overall aesthetic of the area. This initiative is part of a broader effort to promote growth and development in Pleasant Grove, making it a more attractive destination for residents and visitors alike.

The commission also discussed the sign's placement in relation to existing city codes, particularly regarding setbacks from property lines. The proposal adheres to the standard 5-foot setback, which is consistent with other signage regulations in the city. This consideration ensures that the sign will not obstruct public access or utility easements, maintaining safety and accessibility for pedestrians.

Overall, the discussions highlighted the community's commitment to fostering a vibrant and recognizable identity for Valley Grove, with the sign serving as a key element in this vision. As the project moves forward, it is expected to contribute positively to the local economy and enhance the experience for those visiting the area.
