Sunriver resident asks council to mark Sandpiper and nearby roads for bike and golf‑cart safety
Summary
A Sunriver resident told the St. George City Council that several local streets that abut commercial property need striping, posted 25 mph limits, no‑parking restrictions and privacy walls where commercial backs to residences; staff agreed to review a written petition and discuss at the Transportation Expo.
During the meeting’s public‑comment period, Sunriver resident Steve Lindley asked the council to address pedestrian, bicycle and golf‑cart safety on multiple local streets and to require developers to include safety measures when projects abut residential subdivisions.
Lindley said the affected roads include Arrowhead Canyon, Angel Arch, Bluegrass, Sunriver Parkway, Country Club, Sandpiper Drive and others in the Sunriver/Cameron area. He asked the city to stripe and mark roads for bicycle and golf‑cart travel; to post a 25‑mph speed limit on Sandpiper and similar streets; to designate no‑parking in specific locations; and to require a 6‑foot solid wall where commercial property backs residential lots to protect privacy and pedestrian safety. Lindley offered to circulate a formal petition if the city requires one.
City staff (John) responded that many of the streets Lindley named are public and that roads with low traffic volumes often go un‑striped; staff said they would take Lindley’s letter, review the roadways identified and follow up. Staff also drew attention to an upcoming Transportation Expo at the Dixie Center where traffic and multi‑modal improvements would be discussed.
There was no formal action taken during the meeting; staff recorded the request and said they would review Lindley’s written materials and address the matters with planning and engineering teams.
