Board grants permission for Weber to build turn lane adjacent to elementary school
Summary
The board approved allowing the city of Weber to use district-owned lot for a turn-lane easement by Weber Elementary to improve traffic flow and safety; members discussed curb and gutter preferences and noted county engineer Clint Denning's involvement.
Superintendent Willis introduced a proposed turn-lane project near Weber Elementary and recommended the board allow the city of Weber to use part of the district's lot for an easement if the city chooses to move forward. Willis said the district did not want to be an obstacle because the property is district-owned: "So I recommend we allow them, if they want to move forward with that project, that, they have our permission to do so." The board approved the recommendation by voice vote.
Members discussed expected benefits for safety and curb appeal. A board member asked about timing and whether the work would occur in the summer when school traffic is reduced; another member noted that Clint Denning, the county engineer, would help smooth the process. One comment emphasized a desire for curb and gutter streets to improve aesthetics and drainage.
