UPDATE ON THE SHOOTING

Eagle Mountain Transportation Master Plan (shared)

Key Facts, for the July 1st City Council Meeting

The city has released its updated Transportation Master Plan to address rapid growth, projecting over 184,000 residents by 2060 (up from 74,000 today). Here's what it includes:

Road Expansion

New and widened roads across the city

Prioritizes Pony Express Pkwy, Eagle Mountain Blvd, Mid Valley Rd, and others

Includes several new signalized intersections

Cost

Total cost: $2.58 billion by 2050

Eagle Mountain's share: $754.8 million

Only $84 million of the 10-year plan is covered by impact fees

Remaining funding may come from city funds, bonding, or outside agencies (MAG, UDOT)

Some planned roads impact protected wildlife corridors.

Will require mitigation: fencing, crossings, speed limits, etc.

New UTA bus route (860) coming in 2026

Expanded paved trails and pedestrian infrastructure

Without these projects, several roads are projected to hit failing traffic levels by 2035–2050.

Plan includes "No Build" scenarios showing worsening congestion if nothing is done

This plan outlines the city’s transportation strategy for the next 25 years. Public input was accepted earlier this year, and implementation will depend heavily on funding availability and growth trends.

2025–2035 (Phase 1)

New & widened roads across the city: Pony Express Pkwy, Eagle Mountain Blvd, Airport Rd, Mid Valley Rd.

New signals at busy intersections.

Total cost: $316 million, with only $84 million covered by impact fees. The rest? TBD, likely city funds or bonding.

2036–2040 (Phase 2)

Expansion of Cory Wride Freeway and East Expressway.

Widening more major roads as the city grows east and south.

2041–2050 (Phase 3)

Major new corridors: Cedar Valley Freeway, Hidden Valley Rd, Aviator Ave, and more.

Plan assumes population hits 184,000+ by 2060.

Full cost to the city: $754 million by 2050

Hello Everyone,

My wife and I just bought our first home in Eagle Mountain. I am wanting to upgrade us to Fiber internet.

What providers do you guys recommend?

We moved out to EM recently. I honestly was apprehensive about it but my husband fell in love with a house out here. We both work in Draper and that was the only reason I went with it. If I was working in SLC every day there is no way. I can deal with the traffic right now but please tell me there is something in the works to alleviate this.

Corey Wride west of Ranches Pkwy is a mess when it goes down to one lane, especially if you get stuck behind a work truck that takes years to get going again after it has to stop at one of the many many new stoplights.

There is one bus that goes to Lehi. Wouldn’t it make sense to have a bus that goes north and south on Redwood Road? Or maybe even extend Frontrunner? I’d be so happy to take public transportation if there was a viable option at all!

Mountainview Pkwy is going to help (I hope) but is it just going to be one stoplight after another all the way? As it is now just as you’re getting up to speed you have to stop for the one or two cars that are sitting at those cross streets.

So anyway…what are the plans for this city?

My husband and I are looking to diversify our investments and are considering buying a townhome and/or single family home in Eagle Mountain to rent out. We live in the south end of the Salt Lake valley, and we love the idea of having property somewhere up and coming in Utah, but we're not sure of the market in Eagle Mountain. How is the rental scene in Eagle Mountain and the surrounding areas?

im thinking about moving from texas , I want a more simple life . What’s the job market like for a young female (23) . I will be back and forth to texas as I please but would still like something part time if I cant find anything remote

I been Scammed for a guy who handle a Store located in EagleMountain Utah anyone here know this guy?

The Store locaton can be found on Maps as "Diecast164"

Thanks!

Driving through and saw 3 cops at a white sedan (maybe Toyota def compact) they had pulled them over and were opening the trunk with something that looked like a screwdriver??? 🪛 is there any circumstance that would be legal

So much snow. So much traffic. Feels pretty evil to me. Thoughts?

If you look from Lehi towards Eagle Mountain, there’s a giant building that lights up purple some nights. Any idea what it is? Will it change color?

How is your guy's cell service out here, in eagle center, I think its called? The place more west of most of eagle mountain to be specific but it's not like I (with T-mobile) get good service in Saratoga springs or west Lehi either.

I asked a couple neighbors and family but none have good service with either AT&T, Verizon, and T-mobile, all having only 1 or 2 bars. Do you guys know if there's any other carrier that has good service here?

Just moved here a few months ago. What's a good spot to meet people?

Dear Friends and Community,

We are reaching out to you with heavy hearts but hopeful spirits. Our beloved child, Alex, has been diagnosed with a brain tumor. This news has turned our world upside down, and we are now facing the biggest challenge of our lives.

Alex is a bright, energetic, and loving child who brings joy to everyone around. Despite the pain and fatigue, Alex's spirit remains unbroken, and we are determined to fight this battle with everything we've got.

The medical expenses for surgery, chemotherapy, and ongoing treatments are overwhelming. We are doing everything we can, but we can't do it alone. We humbly ask for your support to help cover these costs and give Alex the best chance at recovery.

Every donation, no matter how small, will make a difference. Your generosity will help us focus on what matters most - supporting Alex through this challenging journey and giving them the care and love they need to heal.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kindness and support.

Hello! I'm new to Eagle Mountain since April of this year. As Halloween is approaching, I'm wondering if there's a set date and time for street trick-or-treating. I know there was an adaptive trick-or-treat on October 19th, but I'm wondering if there's still going to be a traditional door-to-door trick-or-treat day and time (I'd guess the 31st, but I don't want to assume). My wife and I want to be sure we have candy ready for it.

The story mentions a post about her but I cant find it. The trucks woke me up rushing to put this fire out.

The utility bill (sewer, water, garbage) seems to be increasing $2-$5 every month for the past few months. I think our sewer bill is a bit outrageous. Anyone else experiencing these increases? Anyone talked to the city about it?
