The paving phase of UDOT's work on 33rd South is scheduled to start this coming Sunday, October 13th. A BIG HEADS-UP: The traffic impacts will be even greater than they have been during the last several weeks' work. The paving work will require UDOT to narrow traffic to single lanes in both directions along the entire route. There will cause significant daytime delays, particularly during peak commuter hours. This work is scheduled to last up to two weeks. ---PAGE BREAK--- This is from the notice UDOT has sent out: Starting Oct 13 for ~2 weeks: (Paving and Striping Operations). During this time single-lane closures will extend in both directions through the route. Workdays: Sun-Thu (Fri/Sat if necessary); Work Hours: Daylight hours (7 am to 8 pm). Business/residential access points and intersection may be briefly restricted. Crews will enable thru traffic at intersections with light signals, but will allow right turns only. Motorists should expect light delays from 5-10 minutes, and up to 15 minutes during peak periods. Residents and businesses may experience periods of noise from construction equipment. Be cautious and slow down near construction barrels and cones. Speeds reductions will be enforced in work zones. Active transportation groups bicyclists, pedestrians) will be accommodated with detours posted. Schedules are subject to change due to weather conditions and material availability.

Millcreek Continues to Oppose the Proposed Parley's Canyon Gravel Mine MILLCREEK. The Millcreek City Council continues to work to oppose the proposed gravel mine in Parley’s Canyon. In our update last August, we reported that Millcreek was working with Salt Lake County, Utah Physicians for Healthy Environment, and Save Our Canyons, among others to file opposition to the landowner's request for a mining permit from the Utah Division of Air Quality. ---PAGE BREAK--- Millcreek has continued to work with its counsel and retained expert, Dr. Ron Sahu, to oppose issuance of the air quality permit. CLICK HERE to read the city’s latest filing, to which Dr. Sahu’s report is attached as an exhibit. The study is very technical, as it needs to be. We are hopeful that it will be persuasive to the DAQ in its deliberations. Your city continues to be committed in its opposition to the mine in Parley’s Canyon and will continue to do everything legally possible to prevent the permitting of this proposed mining operation. City Opens New Pickleball Courts in Canyon Rim Park A MESSAGE FROM MAYOR SILVESTRINI: Pickleball is popular and one of the fastest growing sports around. Yet, as scores of Millcreek residents lamented to me and my fellow city council members over several years—Millcreek had no courts of its own. Millcreekers played all over the valley, but not here at home. About three years ago, at the urging of these residents, the council began exploring installing some new courts within our city boundaries. With the help of our Public Works Director and staff, we located a suitable site on the western edge of Canyon Rim Park (3100 S 2900 E) and we began ---PAGE BREAK--- looking for the budget to construct some courts. The parking lot on the west side of the park is owned partially by the city and partially by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. While it has been shared for 50 or 60 years, this informal arrangement had apparently never been formalized. We were able to negotiate an agreement that benefits both parties, and thereby removed the last impediment to construction of the courts. Our design enabled ten new courts to be built, as well as additional parking. The council and I are pleased to have cut a ribbon last week to open this new amenity for Millcreek residents and our guests. We even challenged some in attendance to “pickle the mayor and council.” The new courts are beautiful and should serve our community well for decades. They are already being fully utilized. As a council, we are glad that we built the maximum number of courts the space and grade would allow. We had considered trimming the number as the cost of constructing them escalated before we could get the construction underway. We determined that it would never be cheaper to build all ten, and that due to the demand for additional places to play pickleball, we would not regret going big. The new courts are open during daylight hours. Pickleball generates its own unique noise which has been a source of conflict in other locales. There is sound shielding to insulate the impact of the courts on the church and the neighborhood to the west of the park. We do not intend to install lights so mother nature will regulate the hours of operation. The city council and I are pleased to be able to deliver this much-requested amenity as part of your parks program. ---PAGE BREAK--- - Mayor Jeff Silvestrini THIS WEEK'S EVENTS AT MILLCREEK COMMON TONIGHT, FRI. 10/11 MONDAY, 10/14 ---PAGE BREAK--- Join indigenous community members for a celebration with music, performances, food, and activities.
