Greenspot Road Storm Drain Construction and Traffic Impacts
Lennar Homes is beginning construction on a 42-inch storm drain facility along Greenspot Road starting August 17. The project will take 6 to 8 weeks, causing traffic delays, detours, and 24-hour traffic control.
Base Line Bridge Replacement Project Funding and Design
The council approved a $1.1 million contract amendment to push the long-awaited Base Line Bridge project toward construction. The project replaces a flood-prone low-water crossing and is mostly funded by federal grants.
Road Repair and Pedestrian Infrastructure
Neighbors are asking whether the city should close off an old, unmaintained trail linkage near City Creek and the Albertson shopping center due to homeless encampment issues and lack of oversight.
Highland/Redlands Regional Gap Connector Trail
The city is moving forward with designing and building the long-awaited pedestrian and bicycle trail connecting Highland and Redlands after state wildlife officials drastically lowered endangered kangaroo rat mitigation fees. The council approved design contracts and funding to break ground this fall.
