Summary

Council agreed to consider a joint letter about the proposed Heber Valley Corridor route and scheduled a special meeting March 6 to decide whether to support the route next to North Highway 40; the March 9 submission deadline prompted the schedule.

The Midway City Council discussed a draft joint letter concerning the proposed Heber Valley Corridor and set a special meeting for noon on March 6 to determine the city’s response before the March 9 deadline.

Planning Director Michael Henke said the draft letter supported a route that follows next to North Highway 40, which the city believes would protect more of the north fields. Council members noted tradeoffs: the highway‑adjacent route could be more costly and affect more homes, but supporters said it would better preserve open agricultural land and minimize impacts on wildlife and water quality.

Mayor Craig Simons and Council Member Kevin Payne suggested the Council try to present a unified response and meet with Wasatch County Council Member Erik Rowland, who proposed the draft letter. The Council scheduled a meeting for Friday, March 6 at 12:00 p.m. in the Community Center to determine its position and decide whether to send the joint letter.
