New Washington Boulevard streetlights are on! The new streetlights on have been officially turned on. The boulevard looks a lot better with the lights. And the lights are "full cutoff" so the light goes downward and not into the sky. There will be some trees that will need to be trimmed along Washington to eliminate dark spots caused by leaves and branches blocking the lights. This has improved safety and nighttime aesthetics, and it doesn’t hurt that it saves a lot of tax payer money.
Movie in Barker’s Park on July 28th is Finding Nemo. Bring blankets and chairs and enjoy the movie.
Road maintenance will be happening over the next 2 weeks, as keeping the roads in good shape is a priority for the City. Several roads will be ground down to remove cracking asphalt and then receive a new 1.5-2" overlay, while the west side of 3100 North will be chip sealed. There will also be patching of "problem areas" on multiple roads. This work represents your "Transportation Utility Fee" ($3 per month) at work to keep our roads in good working order. *All work is projected to be completed within the next two weeks.* Patience Appreciated.

· 150 E from 1900 - 2000 N

New Volleyball Courts Are Done! North Ogden Park’s three new sand volleyball courts are done and ready for use! The annual Employee Appreciation BBQ was held at the new courts and they were awesome!
