Thank you to all who attended our neighborhood meetings. There was a lot of information. Here are a few points:
Development:
*7000 South will be the first part of the development built.
*Constructions to "punch through" 7000 South will start in 60-90 days.
*Construction vehicles will access the area through the neighborhood and U111.
*SLCo is the decision maker on this project, not WJC.
*County has the ability to make changes.
*UDOT is expected to purchase land for Mountain West Corridor that will go through the middle of this development.
*Building will begin regardless of UDOT plans because UDOT has not purchased the land, yet. *First apartment phase is scheduled to open in 14 months.
*Children living in the development would attend Falcon Ridge Elementary school.
*Children would access school by crossing railroad on foot, no bridge, no crossing guard.
What can we do?:
*The developer said the county has not received any negative comments on the plan to connect 7000 South or concerns over children's safety on this road. We need to organize phone calls and emails to the right people to voice our concerns. Please check back in the next day or two and we will post the appropriate contact information. If you are willing to help us make phone calls, please email us at westjordanneighborhood@gmail.com

Annexation into WJC:
*Will not affect this development.
*Residents can petition the WJCC to pay for annexation if more than 50% sign a petition stating they want to annex into the city.
*Taxes would stay about the same (exact numbers aren't available until July 1).
*Utilities would stay the same with the exception of snow removal and garbage collection (addition of a green container).
*We would gain representation.
*We would loose county snow removal.
What we need to do...
*we need someone to make phone calls and help gather information from the city. If you are interested in helping, please email us. If you would like to help collect signatures from your neighborhood road, please email us at westjordanneighborhood@gmail.com

Possible Concerns

*Impact on our schools--how will surrounding schools accommodate all those students?
(612 apartments, 200 homes)
*Safety of 7000 South--large trucks during construction, motorists using 7000 So. to "cut through" the area, speeding, no "school zone" lights
*Lack of sidewalks--safety for residents and school children
*High Density Growth--too many apartments?
*How does the Mountain View Corridor fit into the plan?
