As many of us know, 39th South from I-215 down to 23rd East is in extremely bad shape. This stretch of road is so bad that it needs to be completely rebuilt.

Annex 7:30 PM Agenda below South and Holladay owns the eastbound ones. Earlier this year, the two cities together applied for and were awarded a $4 million federal grant for the reconstruction along this stretch. Holladay and we together need to find another $4 million to match the federal grant, for a total project cost of $8 million. In addition to a new road, the project will add curbs and gutter, sidewalks, bicycle lanes, and enhanced bus stops.The open ditch, unprotected utility poles, and broken-up asphalt with be eliminated. Unfortunately, the federal funding is not available until 2023. We are looking for ways to parlay the grant into a faster project. But every day, cars and trucks continue to pound away at the road. Temporary resurfacing measures would be costly and would not hold up for long. So, to avoid expending taxpayer dollars on a temporary throw-away treatment, the speed limit along this stretch of road will be lowered temporarily, until the reconstruction project can be completed. Between I-215 and 2700 East, the speed limit on 39th South is being lowered from 40mph to 30mph. Between 2700 East and 2300 East, the speed limit on 39th South is being lowered from 40 mph to 35mph. Look for these new speed limit signs soon, but you don't have to wait for the signs to start slowing down. With everyone’s help, we’ll be able to extend the lifetime of the existing roadway until we can get it rebuilt. ---PAGE BREAK--- 3/27/2019 Lower speed limits coming to 39th South 3/9 Millcreek City offices will be closed on Monday, November 12th in observance of Veterans Day. A Brief History of Veterans Day From Military.com Veterans Day, formerly known as Armistice Day, was originally set as a U.S. legal holiday to honor the end of World War I, which officially took place on November 11, 1918. In legislation that was passed in 1938, November 11 was "dedicated to the cause of world peace and to be hereafter celebrated and known as 'Armistice Day.'" As such, this new legal holiday honored World War I veterans. In 1954, after having been through both World War II and the Korean War, the 83rd U.S. Congress at the Finally on September 20, 1975, President Gerald R. Ford signed a law which returned the annual observance of Veterans Day to its original date of Nov. 11, beginning in 1978. Since then, the Veterans Day holiday has been observed on Nov. 11 each year. Celebrating the Veterans Day Holiday If the Nov. 11 holiday falls on a non- workday Saturday or Sunday the holiday is observed by the federal ---PAGE BREAK--- 3/27/2019 Lower speed limits coming to 39th South 4/9 urging of the veterans service organizations amended the Act of 1938 by striking out the word "Armistice" and inserting the word "Veterans." With the approval of this legislation on June 1, 1954, Nov. 11 became a day to honor American veterans of all wars. In 1968, the Uniforms Holiday Bill ensured three-day weekends for federal employees by celebrating four national holidays on Mondays: Washington's Birthday, Memorial Day, Veterans Day, and Columbus Day. Under this bill, Veterans Day was moved to the fourth Monday of October. Many states did not agree with this decision and continued to celebrate the holiday on its original date. The first Veterans Day under the new law was observed with much confusion on Oct. 25, 1971. government on Monday (if the holiday falls on Sunday) or Friday (if the holiday falls on Saturday). State and local government closings are determined locally, and non- government businesses can close or remain open as they see fit, regardless of federal, state or local government operation determinations. United States Senate Resolution 143, which was passed on Aug. 4, 2001, designated the week of Nov. 11 through Nov. 17, 2001, as "National Veterans Awareness Week." The resolution calls for educational efforts directed at elementary and secondary school students concerning the contributions and sacrifices of veterans. Many businesses are offering freebies or discounts to Veterans this weekend.

In last week's newsletter, we mistakenly indicated that a blight study was a prerequisite to adoption of a Community Redevelopment Area (CRA). In fact, a blight study is necessary only to give a city the power of eminent domain within a CRA. Though it has conducted a blight study within the proposed City Center CRA, the City has no plans to use such a power in that area. As explained in last week's newsletter, the power of eminent domain could be used only upon petition of at least 80% of the residential owner-occupied properties (or 75% of the commercial property owners) in the project area and the vote of at least two-thirds of the City Council.
