City upgrades poles

I just wanted to add that the funds for this will come out of impact fees, not general funds.

City upgrades poles -- Saratoga Springs City Council voted Oct. 28 to upgrade traffic signal poles for the Four Corners intersection. UDOT will be replacing the poles as part of the Redwood Road improvements at a cost of $13,851 per pole. Saratoga Springs was given the opportunity to put in a more decorative pole, but needed to make that decision quickly before UDOT orders materials for the Redwood Road project.

The poles will include a base with the city logo, be painted black and include other decorative features. The upgrade would cost $4,100 more per pole, for a total of $16,400 to the city.
