Your city government has been very busy this month. We have installed a sidewalk on 2650 North leading to North Ogden Elementary school, to provide a safe walking route to school. We are working to have at least one complete sidewalk route from all directions to each elementary school in the city, and there are more projects being planned in this regard. We also installed flashing stop signs on 3100 North at 1050 East, in order to increase visibility and safety at this intersection. We have begun the process of getting our parks ready for upcoming sports seasons. We started the process of updating our Capital Projects Plan, by holding a City Council work session about upcoming needs in our Drinking Water and Storm Water systems. We also selected a contractor for the new Public Works complex, which will be located on Pleasant View Drive about 1/4 mile west of our current Public Works complex. We are examining various funding options and construction alternatives, and a final project scope and price will be selected during the April 22nd City Council meeting. We are all confident that the end result will be the right facility at the right price to serve the citizens of North Ogden. Your North Ogden City government is working hard and working together to serve you.

ANIMAL CONTROL – 801-737-2212
Warm weather is coming. This is just a friendly reminder to all animal owners that their dogs need to be restrained while on their property to prevent roaming, and leashed any time they leave their property. This is intended to protect your pet, as well as other persons or dogs.
North Ogden City Ordinance 6-1-4 states: RESTRAINT – All animal (except wild animals) shall be kept from running loose by physical, electric wireless restraint. Every owner of any animal shall keep the animal securely confined on the person’s premises, except that an owner may have an animal on the streets or public places in the city if controlled by human restraint on a leash. Violation of this provision shall be a Class C
misdemeanor.
The goal for North Ogden Animal Control is to allow people to be able to utilize our City and its beautiful parks and trails safely. Have a great summer. GET OUT AND ENJOY THE PARKS
Did you know that North Ogden has 12 beautiful parks? Visit our website (www.northogdenrecreation.com) to view the Interactive Map of the parks with their locations and amenities. Play tennis, basketball and sand
volleyball. Go for a hike at the base of beautiful Mt. Ben Lomond or have a picnic at the pavilion.

NORTH OGDEN POLICE DEPARTMENT
801-782-7219 – 515 E 2600 N
North Ogden City has recently posted signs prohibiting drivers from turning left onto 400 E. from the businesses between 2600 N. and 2650 N. As many of you who drive through this area of 400 E. are aware, it is one of the most congested sections of roadway in the city. The northbound roadway narrows in this area, and it is not uncommon to experience a bottleneck effect on traffic. In addition, this block is immediately north of the intersection where speed limits reduce from 50 mph to 30 mph and there is a school crossing zone on the north end of the block. Adding vehicles turning left out of the local businesses only increases the risk of a serious accident occurring. It is not uncommon for vehicles turning left to travel north on 400 E. to have to travel north in the southbound left turn lane, against the flow of traffic. All of these conditions, combined, make this a hazardous stretch of roadway, and have resulted in several serious crashes. After examining the accident data, traffic flow, and the layout of the area, it was determined that posting signs prohibiting vehicles from turning left would reduce the hazards to motorists by eliminating cross traffic. Please be mindful of this change in signage and plan your travel routes accordingly.
