Planning commissioner steps down; commission elects new chair and flags dangerous State Road intersection
Summary
A commissioner announced a move to public works and the planning commission elected Darren as chair; commissioners also raised repeated crashes at the 8 South/State Road intersection and agreed to raise safety fixes with the town council and public works/UDOT.
A planning commissioner announced Feb. 5 that they will step down to accept an appointment on public works; the commission nominated and voted to appoint Darren as chair and selected a vice chair by voice vote.
Separately, members raised safety concerns about a hazardous intersection at 8 South and State Road after a recent crash involving a school bus. Commissioners discussed potential remedies — stop signs, a roundabout, realignment or flashing signage — and agreed to bring the issue to the town council and public works staff, and to coordinate with Utah Department of Transportation where State Road is under state jurisdiction.
Action taken: The commission moved and approved the chair nomination by voice vote; the appointment will take effect at the commission's next procedural update. The traffic safety discussion produced no formal motion but commissioners agreed to present the intersection concerns to the town council (third Wednesday meeting) and to coordinate next steps with public works.
