ITEM 3

City Council Memorandum Government Relations & Transportation Policy Memo No. TP24-19

Date:

June 10, 2024

To:

Mayor and Council

Thru:

Joshua H. Wright, City Manager
Ryan Peters, Strategic Initiatives Director

From:

Jason Crampton, Transportation Planning Manager

Subject:

Resolution No. 5813 Authorizing the Execution of a License Agreement with Salt River Project (SRP)

Proposed Motion:

Move City Council pass and adopt Resolution No. 5813 authorizing the execution of a license agreement with Salt River Project (SRP), granting the city access to SRP property on the northwest corner of Frye Road and the Consolidated Canal for the construction, maintenance, and operation of Frye Road collector street improvements.

Background:

East Frye Road (see Attachment 1) terminates at the Consolidated Canal, but there are currently no road improvements at this terminus other than asphalt. The 2024-2033 Capital Improvement Program includes funding to make collector street improvements to this section of Frye Road, with construction programmed for Fiscal Year 2027-28. Since the city will be making improvements in this area through the Frye Road Protected Bike Lanes Project in Fiscal Year 2024-25, there is an opportunity to incorporate the collector street improvements project into the Frye Road Protected Bike Lanes Project, which will begin construction in early 2025.

The Frye Road collector street improvements include adding a small cul-de-sac, sidewalk and lighting. The new sidewalk will provide an important connection to the Paseo Trail. A portion of the proposed new sidewalk will be within an SRP parcel on the north side of Frye Road (see Attachment 2). The proposed land use license agreement will allow the city to construct, maintain and operate this sidewalk within SRP land. Additionally, since the cul-de-sac is too small for emergency vehicle turnaround, the proposed license agreement would allow city emergency vehicles to use the SRP driveway on the north side of Frye Road to turn vehicles around.
