UDOT ANNOUNCES NEXT MILESTONE FOR I-15 CORE
 
On December 9, UDOT announced the contractor team that will build I-15 CORE, which will include improvements from the Lehi Main Street Interchange to the Spanish Fork Main Street interchange.

Provo River Constructors (PRC), a consortium of expert local, regional and national contractors and engineers, proposed the greatest value solution within the fixed budget.

The City of Orem is developing a Master Plan to improve our bike and pedestrian network.  Our goal is to make Orem an enjoyable place to walk, run, and ride.  The plan is relying heavily on input and ideas from Orem residents.  Residents have the unique opportunity to get involved in many ways. 

Please become involved in the Master Plan process:  

American Fork’s Main Street/U.S. 89 Corridor has great opportunities for growth and significant challenges to maintain a sense identity and vibrancy. During the summer of 2009 American Fork City and the Mountainland Association of Governments teamed up to sponsor a visioning and planning process for the future of the corridor.

Some of the recommendations include: widening streets, light rail, a transit connection to the Front Runner Station through the Meadows and more.

As many have no doubt noticed, the interchange on I-15 and American Fork Main Street is currently being rebuilt. What you may not know is that, when completed, it will be the second interchange in the nation to be built using the Diverging Diamond configuration. The first in the United States to be built recently opened in Springfield, MO. You can read a story about this bridge to get an idea of what is coming to Utah. 

UDOT website includes video of what traversing the interchange will look like.

Mountainland Association of Governments received a request from Utah Division of Forestry, Fire and State Lands (FFSL) to examine the potential impact of a bridge across Utah Lake on Air Quality. A comparison of our current official transportation network and the same network with the bridge was performed. The findings were sent to FFSL and can be reviewed in the letter below.

MAG Air Quality Analysis on Utah Lake Crossing

For more information on the Utah Lake Crossing, the Utah Lake Commission explains the project review process here.

Mountainland Association of Governments is committed to planning for the future
growth that will occur in the south Utah County area in future decades. Previously, MAG completed transportation quadrant studies in Lake Mountain, Provo/Orem, Nebo and Northeast Utah Valley. These four studies of Utah County identified transportation projects and strategies through planning year 2030 to satisfy future travel demand. The results of the transportation quadrant studies provided an understanding of future transportation deficiencies and demands and helped form the basis for MAG’s Regional transportation Plan adopted in 2007.

With future forecasts identified in the previous study, efforts shifted to defining exact corridors, specifying actual alignments and introducing the community to these corridors and connectivity to these corridors.

Welcome to the Utah County East-West Study.

This Study will look at the transportation demand, capacity and coordination of the transportation facilities in Northern Utah County including the area from Pleasant Grove City North to the Salt Lake County line extending west through Saratoga Springs and Cedar Valley in Utah County, Utah The study is expected to be completed in September of 2008.
