Council accepts $1.25M Weber County grant for 1200 West Phase 2; residents raise right‑of‑way concerns
Summary
Marriott‑Slaterville adopted Resolution 2026‑E to accept $1.25 million from Weber County toward reconstruction of 1200 West (400 North–700 South). Council and staff discussed project costs of about $8 million and potential impacts to a residence within the existing right‑of‑way; staff said they will meet affected homeowners and explore options including buyouts or alignment changes.
Marriott‑Slaterville — The city council voted to adopt Resolution 2026‑E to accept $1,250,000 in Weber County funding for the 1200 West Phase 2 reconstruction project, which staff estimated would cost roughly $8 million.
City staff described the grant as an additional round of county support for the multi‑phase project. The work covers 1200 West between 400 North and 700 South and will address failing pavement, stormwater runoff, and safety issues such as lack of curb and sidewalk. Staff said the county contribution is earmarked in a 2028 funding year and that the city will still need to identify remaining funds to complete the project.
Residents and council members questioned whether the planned expansion would require taking part of a private yard. One council member noted that the proposed cross‑section would reach a home's front porch and asked what recourse the owner would have. Staff told council the right‑of‑way was dedicated during subdivision platting and said the city had consulted county/city engineers; they said staff would meet one‑on‑one with affected residents, offer options and, if necessary, consider purchasing a replacement home.
Council adopted the funding agreement on a roll call vote. The resolution moves the city forward to secure the county allocation and continue design and funding work for the 1200 West reconstruction.
What happens next: Staff will continue project design, refine cost estimates, pursue remaining funding, and hold follow‑up meetings with residents whose property edges the project right‑of‑way.
