$13M MAG award advances 600 West/Center Street project; council told negotiations with property owners may be needed
Summary
Public Works Director Neal Winterton said the city received $13 million from MAG for 600 West/Center Street improvements; staff warned property acquisition or negotiated easements may be required and promised to engage owners before formal action.
Public Works Director Neal Winterton updated the council on major capital projects and explained next steps for a federally-funded corridor improvement.
Winterton said Pleasant Grove was awarded $13 million from the Mountainland Association of Governments (MAG) for a 600 West/Center Street improvement project that will include widening, sidewalks, crossings and signal work. He said the City selected a preliminary design and must now finalize agreements to accept the funding; construction is currently scheduled for 2028. Winterton warned that final design will likely require some property acquisition or easements and that any proceeds from disposed property must be returned to MAG per funding rules.
Council members emphasized the importance of early outreach to affected owners; Winterton and Administrator Darrington agreed to meet with property owners prior to formal Council action. The council also reviewed additional near-term work: 2026 road and water-line replacements on North County Boulevard and other corridors, a $1M Battle Creek Trailhead slated for completion in June, and a continued push to install secondary water meters and the EyeOn Water consumer portal.
