Council approves UDOT cooperative agreement for law-enforcement resources in Cottonwood Canyons; District 4 urges follow-up on funding
Summary
The council approved Resolution 2025-71, a cooperative agreement with UDOT for law-enforcement resources in the Cottonwood Canyons. The council member representing District 4 praised UDOT's recent shoulder work on SR-210/Wasatch Boulevard and said she will pursue follow-up on funding to cover police response during snow-morning gridlock.
Cottonwood Heights City Council voted to approve Resolution 2025-71, a cooperative agreement with the Utah Department of Transportation to provide law-enforcement resources in the Cottonwood Canyons.
The council member representing District 4 spoke at length in support of the agreement and noted recent UDOT work to add a shoulder on SR-210 (Wasatch Boulevard) from Bridal Boulevard to the city’s southern boundary, calling it "an improvement" for residents. She said that during heavy snow mornings police officers sometimes must guide motorists into the shoulder to relieve gridlock, and she pledged to work with staff and state agencies to seek funding to cover those police responses.
A motion to adopt Resolution 2025-71 was made and seconded; the council recorded affirmative votes and approved the cooperative agreement. The meeting record did not include details on the amount of any state funding, the scope of law-enforcement resources or a specific implementation schedule.
The District 4 representative emphasized continued outreach to UDOT and other agencies to address funding mechanisms for operational police needs associated with canyon traffic.
