County Council News

We’ll kick things off with some quick County Council news…the July 12 and July 19 meetings have been canceled. We’ll see you back at Council on July 26. 

Summit Envisions Event 

The FIRST Summit Envisions Learning Series, part of the County’s year-long community visioning effort, is happening this coming Monday, July 10 at the Kamas Library, located at 110 N. Main Street in Kamas. 

The event will be centered around AFFORDABLE HOUSING and the future of Summit County. The event will last about 2 hours, from 6-8 pm, beginning with a short presentation from a housing advocate at Mountainlands Community Housing Trust followed by a visioning activity designed to make participants think about different scenarios related to growth and affordable housing. 

Please register for the event (for free) at oursummitcounty.com.  

While we’re on the subject, there will be two more Summit Envisions events this month! 

The second Summit Envisions Learning Series will center around TRANSPORTATION and will take place on Monday, July 17 from 6-8 PM at the Blair Education Center, located at 900 Round Valley in Park City. 

And, last but not least, the third and final Summit Envisions Learning Series will be about OPEN SPACE + RECREATION and will happen at the Ledges Event Center, located at 202 Park Road, in Coalville, on Tuesday, July 18 from 6-8pm.  

You can learn more about these events and again register for free at oursummitcounty.com. 

Road Construction  

Up next, we have a construction update from UDOT! Earlier this week, UDOT crews began construction to maintain the bridges over I-80 at Silver Creek Junction (US-40/Silver Creek Road) in Summit County. This work and the associated ramp closures will extend through the end of July.

Drivers can expect nightly ramp closures from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. Drivers should plan ahead and follow the signed detour routes. Those traveling on westbound I-80 to southbound US-40, toward Heber, will exit I-80 at Kimball Junction and route back to US-40. Conversely, those traveling on eastbound I-80 to northbound US-40 will exit onto southbound US-40 and use Silver Summit to route north on US-40.

If you have questions, you can reach out to the project team at (385) 365-2112 or i80bridges@utah.gov. And, you can always visit udotinput.utah.gov/i80bridges for more information.
