I forget it.

It's the intentions, right?

That's what matters the chance.

You meant to drink it.

I know.

It's not even full.

I really need to do better than that.

Thank you, Councilmember Newell.

Okay, first uh thing we will start on um Roma numeral two number one.

We'll have a presentation report on the 2100 North Freeway and Pioneer Crossing Flux Lanes.

Uh update by UDOT.

If you'll just state your name when you get there, and we'll we'll welcome you.

I'm always concerned about whether things are working appropriately.

Can you guys see that?

There we go.

Uh Mr.

Mayor, members of the council and staff, uh my name is Andrew Jordan.

I am the project director for the Northwest Utah County Project Program for UDOT.

Um we felt that now was the appropriate time right before we get started with major construction on 2100 to come and introduce ourselves to the new members of council and the new mayor.

Um, and give you guys an update on where we're at on our program.

Um for those of you that don't know our program for the northwest Utah County.

It consists of a series of uh projects.

Um of you might know these very closely.

The first one I'll speak to is the Mountain View Corridor project that we just finished in December.

Uh that project was from 2100 north up to Port of Rockwell.

Um we were required to do that one first before we could start the freeway portions um on Mountain View Corridor.

We needed to make that connection.

We were able to uh complete that project four months ahead of schedule and open that to the public right before Christmas.

Um we're very excited to have that open and have that additional capacity uh between Salt Lake and Utah counties.

Um the next couple projects I'll speak to are 2100 North and Pioneer Crossing.

Um those are in our program as well as the freeway portions of Cory Rhine and Mountain View Corridor from 2100 down to SR73.

And then future unfunded projects that will be part of our program are Mountain View Corridor South and Saratoga Springs and Cory Ride phase two out towards Eagle Mountain.

Those are all freeway freeway projects.

So as you can see on the map, we have several projects and a large investment in the area.

Um the goal for our program, the Northwest Utah County program is to provide that one-stop uh location for the public or council or um really anyone to find all the information on what's going on with these projects.

So if you go to the website that's on the screen currently, um you'll be able to drill down into any one of those projects to get additional details in the schedule.

The first project we're going to highlight prior to Pioneer Crossing Flex Lanes project.

I'm gonna actually have my construction manager, Jeremy Baume, give an update on where this project's at and what's to come.

Thank you.

Mayor, Council, staff, uh Jeremy Baume with UDOT, the design and construction manager, part of the Northwest Utah County's program team.

Um so Pioneer Crossing.

Uh if you are in Lehigh, you are probably aware of this and have seen um seen it.

So uh we are under construction now and uh on schedule, uh looking to be able to from Redwood Road to I-15, looking to be able to have the three lanes in each direction capacity um later this spring, um hoping May time frame, and uh it's looking like the contractors on schedule for that.

Uh and then once we get that capacity built, we'll move to the next um part of that project, which is adding the the signals and uh such so that we can do uh as shown on the screen here the the flex lanes portion of that um schedules to complete that portion of the project by the end of this year.

Um and so with that, not only will we go from having two lanes in each direction currently to the three lanes I spoke about later this spring, but then with the flex lanes and those signals, we'll be able to shift um during the peak hours, um, four lanes in the peak direction and two lanes in the non-peak direction, and then midday shift back to three and three.

So um as shown on the screen here.

I do have a video, I'm not sure it's gonna work, so I probably won't jump over to that, but um, you can get that from the website that uh Andrew show um has shown earlier if you want to see that video.
