Orem's Broadmoor Towers on hold

http://www.heraldextra.com/content/view/260881/18/

Construction of the Broadmoor Towers, an eight-story, 136,000-square-foot Class A office condominium project at 1600 N. 1275 West in Orem won't start until its developers have procured more tenants for the planned building, project owners say.

UDOT moves forward with S.R. 92 expressway

http://www.heraldextra.com/content/view/261180/

UDOT plans to build two lanes in each direction from the mouth of American Fork Canyon to the Dry Creek Dip.
From the dip, the road would split into an expressway that will speed commuters to the freeway with no lights, flanked on each side with two lanes in each direction allowing shoppers and residents to get where they want to go. Bridges located every three-quarters of a mile will allow cross access over the expressway.

*For those of you who don't already know, SR 92 is the exit and highway at Thanksgiving Point, that takes you from I-15 to American Fork Canyon, up onto the Alpine Loop, and down into Sundance and Provo Canyon.

Surprise surprise....

Quote:

Lehi Mayor Howard Johnson was not happy with the plan, which gives Lehi residents access to the expressway only from 1200 East, a plan he called preposterous. Johnson called for the plans to be scrapped in favor of a six-lane expressway with several accesses. Johnson said his plan would cost little more but give much more access, and would better handle future traffic.

I'm beginning to really dislike this guy. Maybe not his ideas ... but rather the fact that nothing UDOT presents is "good enough" for him.

sweet, maybe itll sink the project and focus more attention on DT Provo...

delts145 · #**1008** Posted **Apr 4, 2008, 12:00 PM**

^^^
I won't argue your point Wasatch, I'm kind of anxious for Provo to be the main focus too. I don't think these towers will go under though. The developers are pretty savvy people, and are just being careful. This particular location is too good to not see something materialize as soon as the market becomes more predictable. Now that Geneva is gone, this site has incredible views for office condo's from all angles. The location is ideal for the central valley also.

In my planning program we have a name for people like this. We have all heard of NIMBY, not in my back yard. But the people that are always negative we call those CAVE people; Citizens Against Virtually Everything.

So since he is the mayor, what would make him, a PAVE? (Politician against virually everything).

Mayor Dolan seems to support virtually any development in Sandy, maybe these two should get together and work something out.

Comments sought on Utah Lake issues

From adding sandy beaches to eliminating carp, most people in Utah County want a positive change to Utah Lake.

A New Design For Utah:

Utah Valley may get express lane -

http://www.deseretnews.com/article/1...268342,00.html

Most widening projects are about the same, more lanes, a possible raised or landscaped median, but UDOT engineers are creating a road that isn't found anywhere in Utah - S.R. 92 will have a raised or lowered express lane.

WOW, Good for you Nephi, 99 jobs, that really is a huge amount of jobs for that city and county.

delts145 · #**1018** Posted **Apr 11, 2008, 3:32 PM**

Yeah, especially when you consider the ripple effect.

It won't be long before Nephi and Santaquin start to approach each other and connect. That corridor between Utah and Juab along I-15 has perfect benches, nice valley plots, and magnificent views. Hmmm...As Santaquin grows, I wonder where the next big area for fruit orchards will be? I still remember when there were a lot of orchards in Orem. There is actually more acreage in orchard production now than in the past, but it migrated to the Santaquin area.

i-215 · #**1019** Posted **Apr 11, 2008, 3:40 PM**

Someday driving from Brigham City to Nephi will be not-so-different from driving from Santa Barbara to Palm Springs.

delts145 · #**1020** Posted **Apr 11, 2008, 3:57 PM**

Or Santa Barbara to Laguna Niguel. Oh 215, did you read the article about the new highway 92 rebuild? What do you think, kind of a new type of design for Utah. Highway 92 is my commuter route to Salt Lake.
