Council to apply for corridor preservation funding for a regional link; Gina Road not eligible
Summary
Staff recommended applying for corridor preservation funding on a regional segment that qualifies under the Wasatch Front Regional Council RTP; Gina Road was noted as ineligible because it is not on phase 1 or 2 of the regional transportation plan, and staff described coordination steps with Salt Lake County and potential annexation after acquisition.
Herriman planning staff briefed the council on corridor‑preservation funding opportunities and recommended submitting an application by the June 30 deadline for a regional segment that aligns with the Wasatch Front Regional Council phase 1/2 eligibility.
Staff explained Gina Road does not qualify because eligible roads must appear on phase 1 or 2 of the regional transportation plan. Instead, staff pointed to a nearby regional corridor segment that includes properties currently in Salt Lake County; staff said they have begun outreach to property owners and that Salt Lake County indicated it would provide a letter of support if the city submits the application on the county’s behalf. Staff described the subsequent steps if funding is awarded: acquire the right‑of‑way, annex the parcel into Herriman, and proceed with project delivery.
Council members expressed support for the recommended application and for pursuing outside funding to address regional bottlenecks and safety concerns. No formal vote was taken at the work meeting; staff said they would prepare and submit the application and report back on outcomes.
The presentation began as agenda item 2.4 and concluded with council agreement to proceed with the application.
