Staff weighs repainting, signage after visibility complaints on west-end road
Summary
Uintah City staff reviewed faded center-line paint and sight-line issues on a west-end road, agreed safety is the priority, and asked public works to check MUTCD signage guidance and seek pricing to repaint key corners and add warning signs.
Uintah City staff on Oct. 27 discussed safety concerns on a west-end road where center-line paint has faded and sight lines may be obstructed. Staff shared photos of the area and agreed to prioritize safety while seeking cost estimates for targeted repainting and potential new signs such as reduced speed, blind corner, or pedestrian warnings. The last paint job was noted as about a year old and has not held up well.
Public Works staff will review the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices guidelines and obtain pricing from a vendor identified as Interstate. Staff also noted that hedges near a nearby trailer park may obstruct visibility but are on private property, limiting direct city authority; options therefore focus on signs and targeted repainting. Council members and staff reached consensus to await cost information and recommendations before moving forward.
