Staff seeks tree‑species guidance for Lone Peak Parkway curve project
Summary
Draper staff described plans to smooth a sharp curve on Lone Peak Parkway and asked the Tree Committee to recommend park‑strip tree species and spacing for the developer‑fronting sections where irrigation already exists.
Draper staff described a roadway realignment project “from 123rd South to 12650” and asked the Tree Committee for direction on what park‑strip tree species and spacing the city should require of developers where irrigation is in place.
"So they're going to be, obviously, development on both sides," a staff member said while outlining plans to create a reverse curve that will line up with the 123rd traffic signal. Committee members raised constraints including narrow park‑strip widths (5–10 feet on portions of the corridor), existing utility boxes and heavy clay soils, and noted that developer‑fronting segments already have irrigation. The staff member said the city is seeking additional federal funding and that construction now looks likely next summer rather than this summer. The committee agreed to provide an updated species list and spacing guidance to be coordinated with long‑range planning.
