Price City warns of 100-day Carbon Avenue closure; schools, parents to be notified
Summary
City staff said a canal-crossing project on Carbon Avenue could close the road for about 100 days beginning in early December and urged coordinated communication with the junior high and parents about alternate routes and drop-off patterns.
Price City staff told council members that a canal-crossing construction project on Carbon Avenue is expected to close the road for roughly 100 days beginning in early December, and that coordination with the school district will be necessary to manage student drop-off and traffic changes.
Council member (4) said the work will likely create a significant disruption during the school year and that the city has already begun talking with the high school district about modified traffic patterns for parents. "That would have probably closed for 100 days," the council member said when describing the project timeline.
Staff and council discussed the need to publicize detours and update parents ahead of the closure. One council member said the city must get the start date and communicate it widely: "We'll get the start date going," they said. Members flagged that the closure will increase traffic on nearby streets and asked staff to prepare public-notification plans.
No formal vote or funding decision was taken at the workshop. Staff said the project start depends on bonding and contractor readiness and that the 100-day window is the contractor's projected completion period; the council asked that staff return with a confirmed start date and a communications plan before construction begins.
