Project Status:

^{JANUARY 2010 UPDATE – The project design is continuing forward with planned construction beginning in late fall of 2010. The environmental documentation process has been expanded to include a public hearing planned for March 2010.  The project design schedule has been extended to include the hearing and expanded environmental documentation as a result of adding the 10th West/US-91 acceleration lane.  This environmental document will be available on the website prior to the planned hearing.  Once the environmental document is finalized, UDOT will continue Right-of-Way acquisition processes.  Currently we anticipate UDOT Acquisitions Staff to continue contacting affected property owners in April/May 2010. Initial appraisals have been completed and will be presented as the Right-of-Way process resumes.}  

^{Based upon the additional time for environmental documentation the overall schedule will now be extended to begin construction in late fall 2010 and be completed in early 2012.} 

August 2009: 

^{Since restarting the design and environmental process in March 2009, ideas for an updated concept design have been discussed in meetings with the City of Logan, the Transportation Advisory Committee and the Local Government Committee.} 

^{In response to property owner and City of Logan requests, informational meetings have been held for property owners on the west side of 10th West between 600 South and 200 South to discuss their possible interest in UDOT acquisition of their properties to accommodate a wider cross section that would provide wider buffers and sidewalks, aesthetic enhancements and fully meet UDOT design standards. Concept plans for the ultimate section width within the commercial and undeveloped sections of the corridor (outside the residential area) have not been modified since presented at the last public meeting in October 2008.}  

New Direction for a Wider Design in the Residential Area:

^{In response to public input, and to fully meet UDOT design standards, UDOT directed the design team to develop conceptual designs and alignment alternatives for a wider cross section through the residential area, as compared to the 97 foot wide cross section width that was previously discussed.  This wider section is being considered to provide for a standard width shoulder as well as an expanded buffer/park strip/sidewalk area.  Meetings have been held with property owners on both sides of 10th West through the residential area to discuss this wider alternative including gathering input on the cross section(s) and various alignment locations.} 

Proposed Design:

^{Based upon the input and strong consensus support from the residential area, technical assessment by the Technical Advisory Committee, and Design Working group, a proposed design is now available for comment. The Proposed Design focuses on meeting project purpose and need elements while also considering the context of the project area area and responding to input from neighborhood residents and the City of Logan. The purpose of the project is to bring the SR-252 (10th West) corridor up to state design standards. To meet this purpose the project needs are as follows:} 

^{1.   Capacity upgrades}

^{2.   Safety improvements}

^{3.   Roadway infrastructure upgrades}

^{The Proposed Design consists of the following general elements:}

^{1.   Plans for a 5 lane roadway with UDOT standard cross sections (capacity improvements)}

^{2.   Right Turn lanes at most intersections (capacity and safety upgrades)}

^{3.   Sidewalks throughout developed areas of the corridor including a continuous sidewalk through these areas (safety)}

^{4.   Retain the existing signal at 600 South (safety)}

^{5.   New traffic signals where they are warranted at 1000 North and 1400 North (capacity/safety)}

^{6.   Consistency with the UDOT/Logan City Corridor Agreement (safety/infrastructure upgrades)}

^{7.   Expanded buffer, sidewalk and landscaping treatments in the residential area (safety and infrastructure upgrades)}

^{8.   Utilize the UDOT Standard 124 foot section with frontage road (west side) between 600 South and 200 South (capacity/safety)}

^{The Proposed Design can be generally described by the following roadway cross sections for each project segment as shown in the following graphics.}

^{Layout Map}

^{Undeveloped Typical Section (110 Foot Section)}

^{Commercial Typical Section (99 Foot Section)}

^{Residential Sections:
   800 South to 600 South (Modified 110 Foot Section)
   600 South to 200 South (124 Foot with Frontage Road)
         Cross Section View (2 pages)
         Possible Landscaping and Land Use Examples (7 pages -- large file may
         take a few minutes to download)
   200 South to 200 North (Modified 99 Foot Section)}

^{Other Relevant Information:
   Intersection Improvements
   2500 North / SR-91 Intersection Improvements}

^{Due to size and scale limitations an overall map showing the details of these sections will be made available for viewing at the upcoming Public Meeting on July 15th. Following the meeting the maps will be available for review in the Civil Science, Logan office at 95 West Golf Course Road, Suite 103 (Please call ahead to make an appointment – Call 435-792-4900 Ext. 349).}

March 2009:

^{This project was recently resumed after a project suspension from November 2008 until March 2009. (See attached newsletter #5 for resumption information and newsletter #6 for a review of the proposed design concept).}

^{Through a jurisdictional transfer, the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) has acquired ownership of 10th West, also known as State Route 252, and plans to design and build needed improvements along the corridor in keeping with the project Purpose and Need Statement.}

^{The project limits include 10th West from the intersection at US-89/US-91 on the south, to 2500 North. The project also includes the segment of 2500 North from 10th West to US-91 (Main Street).} 

^{UDOT has contracted with Civil Science, Inc. to design roadway improvements. The design team will complete the roadway design based on sound engineering principles and public input from State, County, City, local businesses, area residents and the general public through a structured public involvement program. Key public involvement activities include site visits and update meetings with property owners, local government workshops and formation of a transportation advisory committee (TAC) to provide ongoing technical input and ensure local issues are addressed. See additional information on the structured public involvement program outlined on the public meeting schedule.}

^{Issues already identified that will be addressed as part of the design process include safety for motorists and pedestrians, corridor speed, congestion, property access, storm water system operation, pavement condition, railroad crossing, Logan River bridge crossing and wetland conditions. Additional issues and input from the public through the public involvement program will also be incorporated into the design discussion.}

^{Potential improvements to address outstanding issues and future needs could include additional lane capacity, pedestrian facility improvements, intersection improvements, curb and gutter, stormwater system upgrades, Logan River bridge widening and other elements as needed to address the functional and public needs for the roadway. UDOT and the project team encourage your participation in the process to help ensure the final design and improvements consider your concerns and input.}
