Transportation Master Plan updated -- In an effort to keep ahead of growth rather than get stuck in grid lock, the Saratoga Springs Planning Department presented an updated Transportation Master Plan to the City Council for approval last week.
Many of the changes were in response to plans presented by UDOT on state projects planned within city limits such as the Mountainview Corridor.
For example, Saratoga Springs's original transportation plan for Lehi's south east-west connector was to have it join with SR 73 and come into Saratoga's Four Corners area. The connecting point has changed, now being aligned south of the Dalmore Meadows subdivision.
Bonneville Drive is another future project that was moved. Previously lower along Saratoga's west slope, city staff felt it better to move it right up to the unbuildable area on the side of the valley where it could also act as a brush fire and wildland buffer.
The new Transportation Master planned was unanimously approved by the Council. Residents interested in the plan are encouraged to visit the Saratoga Springs city offices during business hours.
