Project staff said both alternatives are freeway-style corridors providing free-flow travel around Heber City with several interchanges and direct-connect ramps. The two alternatives differ mainly in how the corridor reconnects to U.S. 40 north of town: Alternative A re-enters near the Smiths intersection (900 North) with flyover ramps and interchanges at Coyote Lane, Parley Lane and a final interchange at SR-32; Alternative B routes farther east through the Northfields area and connects to a different location on US‑40.

Engineers showed ramp geometries, a multi-lane divided cross section with elevated through lanes and parallel one-way frontage/local lanes for access, and noted structures crossing the railroad and flood channel. Design speeds vary by segment: the main north–south freeway portion is described as 65 mph, some connectors 55 mph and certain curved sections at 45 mph.

On funding and timing, UDOT staff said the corridor remains a study with no construction funding currently programmed and that the Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) is currently programmed out through 2031. Presenters estimated full-project costs in the high hundreds of millions (presentation referenced an estimate “around $700 million”) and said the project would realistically be built in phases if funded. The team said Olympic-driven timelines would require legislative action to accelerate work; the project is not funded in the current program to meet the 2034 Olympics.

Residents raised traffic concerns: several speakers asked whether the corridor would increase cut-through traffic on local roads such as 3000 South and asked for travel-time modeling. UDOT staff said model runs show both alternatives reduce congestion at the Hub intersection and should reduce incentives for cut-through routes, but staff agreed to provide more detailed travel-time and cut-through modeling for local segments (for example, 3000 South and Little Sweden Road) and to extend modeling to the routes residents cited.

Other topics during Q&A included ramp heights (presenters estimated flyover structures in the 30–35 foot range at certain crossings), right-of-way widths (typical sections cited between about 100 and 250 feet depending on segment), where interchanges and service/frontage roads would tie into existing commercial areas, and phasing options. UDOT staff said land acquisition would not start until funding is secured and that environmental and design milestones remain to be completed.

No formal action was taken by the council on the presentation. Council members and residents requested follow-up materials: travel-time comparisons for specific local routes, vertical-profile drawings for elevated ramps, and clearer phasing and funding schedules.","mediaType","Audio","parentTitle","Town Council Meeting - 2025-09-08 council meeting AUDIO","oneSentenceSummary","Utah Department of Transportation staff presented two freeway-style alternatives for the Heber Valley Corridor study and told the Daniel Town Council the project is currently unfunded; presenters estimated a full-project cost in the high hundreds of millions and said the corridor would be built in phases if funded.","taxTitle","Daniel, Wasatch County, Utah","taxId",79976,"location","Utah","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":50,"_51":82,"_53":-5,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":83,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":84,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":71,"_72":73,"_74":73},6474994,"Town of Daniel briefed on 2024 Government Data Privacy Act; privacy program report due Dec. 31",875,449000,1324000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5737720-a00c0586cf213331107d14be465b6d83&start=449&end=1324","/articles/6474994/Utah/Town-of-Daniel-briefed-on-2024-Government-Data-Privacy-Act-privacy-program-report-due-Dec-31","Spencer Foster, a local administrative advisor with MAG, briefed the Daniel Town Council on the Government Data Privacy Act passed in 2024 and what the law requires of every public agency, including small towns.

Foster said the only mandatory step for 2025 is completion of a privacy program report by Dec. 31, 2025. That report asks how the agency collects and uses personal data, who manages the program, and where records are stored. Foster said the report is internal for 2025 and is not subject to general records-request rules except by the state Data Privacy Office.

The presentation laid out additional steps the law eventually requires: appointing a chief administrative officer (CAO) and a records officer, adopting a written privacy policy, conducting a data inventory to document where personal data are stored and how vendors are used, and providing annual privacy training for anyone who touches agency data (council members, staff, planning commissioners). Foster recommended the mayor serve as CAO and the town recorder (Mary) serve as records officer because the records officer must have GRAMA certification.

Foster described practical next steps: (1) watch the state’s eight-minute privacy-awareness video and document completion for the privacy-program report; (2) assign a CAO and a records officer (some municipalities use a resolution to record those appointments); and (3) complete the privacy-program report and retain it in the town’s archives. He said he will provide templates for a privacy-program report, a sample resolution, and a data-inventory template and that his assistance is provided through a state-funded program at no cost to the town.

Council members asked clarifying questions about the deadline and rollout. Foster said the legislature extended the original due date to Dec. 31, 2025 (the statute was enacted in 2024) and that the law’s more substantial requirements would be phased in after the initial report. He emphasized best practices: collect only data the town needs, notify people when the town collects personal data, avoid selling data unless legally required, and train staff annually.

The council did not take formal action on the presentation; Foster offered to follow up with the town and with Mary on any templates or questions.

The town will place fuller compliance steps (appointment of officials, privacy-policy adoption and data-inventory work) on a later schedule for 2026 implementation work.","A state-funded adviser told the Daniel Town Council a single privacy program report must be filed by Dec. 31, 2025, and recommended appointing a CAO and records officer, performing a data inventory, and annual staff training to comply with the new law.",{"_33":86,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":87,"_41":88,"_43":89,"_45":90,"_47":91,"_49":50,"_51":92,"_53":-5,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":93,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":94,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":71,"_72":73,"_74":73},6474984,"Daniel council cancels municipal election, approves accounting contract and road crack-seal work; business license approved",244,4250000,4494000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5737720-a00c0586cf213331107d14be465b6d83&start=4250&end=4494","/articles/6474984/Utah/Daniel-council-cancels-municipal-election-approves-accounting-contract-and-road-crack-seal-work-business-license-approved","The Town of Daniel took several formal actions during its Sept. 8 meeting, adopting resolutions and approving routine municipal business.

Election cancellation: The council approved a resolution to cancel the Nov. 4, 2025 municipal election because the number of candidates did not exceed the number of open at-large seats, as permitted by Utah Code (UCA 20A‑1‑206 as read into the record). The council certified that John Blatter had withdrawn and that Stephanie Grady and Brooke Rose are filed as unopposed candidates for council four‑year seats; Scott Kohler and Eric Bennett were certified as unopposed candidates for mayor and a two‑year council seat, respectively. The council voted to cancel the election and declared those unopposed candidates elected for the terms specified in the resolution.

Accounting services: The council approved a resolution to contract with Gilbert & Stewart to perform an agreed‑upon procedures engagement for fiscal year 2024–25 to satisfy the Utah State Auditor’s requirements. The mayor was authorized to sign the engagement contract.

Road crack seal project: The council approved participation in a countywide crack‑sealing contract bid (coordinated through nearby municipalities) and authorized spending up to $15,000 to crack‑seal the town’s prioritized streets (map provided in the council packet). Staff said the green-coded streets on the map were done last year and the yellow/remaining streets comprise the 2025 priority work.

Business licenses: The council approved one new business license for Thread Attire Boutique (Mikaela Hilton, online clothing retail, 3052 South Daniels Road) following the owner’s brief description. The council also approved renewals for Prowls by Megan (eyebrow maintenance), Daybreak Pasture (equine‑assisted learning; Kaylene Richter), and LJC Construction (contractor, Lane J. Clyde).

Votes at a glance (as recorded at the meeting):
- Motion to approve new business license for Thread Attire Boutique: motion made and seconded; recorded voices in favor named in the roll call: \"Colton\" (yes), \"Caller\" (yes), \"Fuller\" (yes) (as recorded in the meeting transcript). The motion passed.
- Motion to approve renewals for Prowls by Megan, Daybreak Pasture, and LJC Construction: motion made and seconded; vote recorded in favor by voices including the mayor and councilors; motion passed.
- Resolution to cancel the municipal election (resolution read into record): motion to approve, seconded; roll call recorded as in-favor votes that carried the resolution.
- Resolution to contract with Gilbert & Stewart for agreed-upon procedures (FY2024–25): motion approved by recorded votes.
- Motion to approve road crack-seal participation and authorize up to $15,000 expenditure: motion carried (recorded votes in favor taken).

Council members signed the accounting contract at the meeting. Several agenda items (planning commission recommendations and a future October agenda item on nonconforming lot code) were discussed but are pending further action.

No contested electoral races were reported after the council certified the candidates and canceled the election under the statute cited in the resolution.","At its Sept. 8 meeting the Daniel Town Council voted to cancel the Nov. 4 municipal election after several candidacies were unopposed, authorized an agreed-upon-procedure contract with Gilbert & Stewart, approved a road crack-seal contract (up to $15,000), and granted one new business license and three renewals.","actionData","errors"]
