Regional committee finalizes funding to realign Highway 111 in Herriman
Summary
Mayor Palmer said the Transportation Coordinating Committee finalized a tranche of funding to 'straighten out 111, Bachus Highway,' enabling the project to move forward; the transcript does not specify the dollar amount or vote tally.
Mayor Palmer said regional planners have finalized funding that will allow a project to realign Highway 111 (Bachus Highway) in Herriman. "They finalized the funding today to straighten out 111, Bachus Highway," he said, adding that "that tranche of money has been finalized now when we should be able to get moving on that project." No funding amount or formal vote tally was provided on the podcast.
Why it matters: the mayor said the Transportation Coordinating Committee (Transcom) — the region's project‑coordination body at the Wasatch Front Regional Council — approved the funding allocation, which the city expects will clear a major hurdle for design and construction. Mayor Palmer said the decision followed a day of meetings, including the Council of Mayors and Transcom participation.
What is known and not known: the mayor described the outcome as funding finalized and said the project should be able to proceed, but the podcast did not include the grant or loan amount, the schedule for design and construction, procedural vote counts or the next formal steps at the council level. The city representative on Transcom was not identified by name on the recording.
Next steps: Mayor Palmer said the tranche's finalization should allow the project to move forward; he did not provide a public timeline. Officials seeking more details should contact the Wasatch Front Regional Council or the city's communications office for funding amounts, formal approvals and schedule changes.
