Main Street and 200 North Roadway ImprovementsThe Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) began a roadway improvement project in August on SR-273, which includes sections of 200 North and Main Street in Kaysville. The project includes: - US-89 bridge deck rehabilitation - Pedestrian ramp upgrades to meet ADA standards - Roadway signage updates - Intersection improvements at 100 North and Center Street - Pavement resurfacing It is expected to be completed by late summer 2025, with a winter shutdown from late fall 2024 to late spring 2025. For more details, including the projected schedule and impact information, please visit https://udotinput.utah.gov/kays200main. To receive construction updates, send an email to the project team with "Updates" in the subject line. Vision Main Street"Vision Main Street" is a Kaysville City initiative to enhance Main Street, making it more appealing to both businesses and residents. In coordination with the UDOT project, the city plans to implement the following changes by late fall 2024 to increase parking in downtown Kaysville: Center Street - Will be converted to a one-way street eastbound from Main Street to 100 East. - Will include 17 angled and 16 parallel parking stalls. The city initially planned to convert 100 North into a one-way westbound street from Main Street to 100 West, adding angled and parallel parking. However, after receiving feedback from residents, the city has been working with its traffic engineering consultant to find a solution that effectively balances the interests of all stakeholders. The proposed changes to 100 North were based on input from meetings held in 2021 and 2022 with Main Street businesses, who requested that the city explore ways to create additional on-street parking in the downtown area. As resident feedback is being reviewed, construction on 100 North has been placed on hold, and no traffic changes will be made as part of the current UDOT project. However, UDOT will still proceed with work to improve sidewalk ADA curb ramps throughout the Main Street project, including at the intersection of 100 North and Main Street. The city will provide further updates as the process continues. If you have any questions related to this project, please contact the public involvement team at ebenson@langdongroupinc.com or (385) 493-0810.

Increased West Nile Virus Activity in Davis CountyWest Nile virus activity in mosquitoes has surged significantly across Davis County this month, with over 40 mosquito pools testing positive for the virus. The Davis County Mosquito Abatement District has been working diligently to manage the mosquito population and reduce the risk of West Nile virus in our community. Although no human cases have been reported yet, the Davis County Mosquito Abatement District, in partnership with the Davis County Health Department, urges all residents to take extra precautions to protect themselves from mosquito bites: -- Avoid outdoor activities from dusk to dawn: Mosquitoes carrying West Nile virus are most active during these hours. -- Use EPA-approved insect repellent: Follow the label instructions for proper application and reapplication. -- Wear protective clothing: Opt for loose-fitting long sleeves and pants when spending time outdoors. -- Eliminate standing water: Remove any sources of standing water in your yard where mosquitoes can breed. For more information on how the Mosquito Abatement District collects and reports data on West Nile virus testing, visit www.davismosquito.org/surveillance.

KFD's Annual Fire Prevention Week Open House October 6-12, 2024Fire Prevention Week traces its origins back to the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, a devastating event that occurred from October 8th to 10th, destroying thousands of buildings, claiming many lives, and leaving a path of destruction. To honor the memory of those affected and to raise awareness about fire safety, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) established Fire Prevention Week. The week surrounding October 9th was chosen as it marks the anniversary of the Great Chicago Fire. The primary goal of Fire Prevention Week is to educate the public about fire safety and prevention. Each year, the NFPA selects a specific theme to guide educational campaigns and events across the nation. This year's theme is: "SMOKE ALARMS: Make Them WORK For You." As in years past, the Kaysville Fire Department is participating in this nationwide effort to promote fire safety during Fire Prevention Week. Please join us for the Annual Kaysville Fire Department Open House at the fire station on October 9th from 6:00 to 8:30 PM. The event will feature an extraction demonstration, a medical helicopter, tours of the fire vehicles, vendor displays, as well as other activities and prizes.

Please Trim Low-Hanging BranchesAs fall approaches, Kaysville City Public Works reminds residents to trim trees and other obstructions hanging into roadways. To facilitate snow plowing, garbage collection, and mail delivery, and to prevent vehicle damage, Kaysville City Ordinance 9-2-11 requires roads to be clear up to 14 feet vertically from the back of the curb (or the edge of the pavement if there is no curb). This ensures effective service delivery and reduces potential homeowner liability from damage caused by trees or other obstructions. For questions, please contact Kaysville Public Works at 801-544-8112. Thank you!

Adjust Your Sprinklers: Save Water This FallAs the days grow shorter and cooler, it's time to adjust your sprinkler systems for the fall season. With temperatures dropping, lawns don’t need as much water, and the soil retains moisture longer, making it easier to keep grass healthy with less watering. Our cool-season grass is already recovering after the summer heat, and reducing your watering schedule now helps conserve water while keeping your lawn healthy by avoiding overwatering. Please note that Secondary Water Providers will be turning off the secondary water supply on October 15th. We advise all residents to shut off their user valves after the water is no longer available in the system. This small step helps prevent potential damage to your sprinkler system over the winter months. By making these adjustments, you’ll help conserve water and ensure a healthy lawn come spring.
