Residents of West Bountiful have been no strangers to construction throughout 2025. Facing deadlines to utilize funds from two grants, city council members voted to approve one project on 660 West at the end of last year and one on 1100 West in April.

Both of these efforts have required third-party services, street closures and significant changes. While neither has wrapped up, final steps for both endeavors are currently being made. Here's what’s ahead for projects around the city:

1100 West

Connecting strips of sidewalk, the final stage of West Bountiful’s 1100 West project involves planting trees to replace those removed during construction. As of Sept. 17, the city is assessing where and if they can plant the trees due to a gas line on the street. 

An endeavor that affected seven properties, Post Asphalt partnered with the city to fill the 780 foot gap that existed between 400 North and 500 South. Construction on 1100 West began with a decision made by the city council on April 15. Passed by a 3-1 vote, the project was met with hesitation and frustration by some residents – including a group who began working with the Office of the Property Rights Ombudsman. According to city administrator Duane Huffman, concerns addressed focused primarily on road width right of way and other related issues. 

Accounted for in the city's 2024/25 fiscal year budget, funds for the project came from the Davis County Third Quarter Transportation Grant program as well as the Wasatch Front Regional Council.

660 West

A demanding West Bountiful project, goals for construction on 660 West were centered on improving pedestrian safety, limiting property impacts and using road funds wisely. The city also replaced a large 50-year-old cast iron water pipe.

Throughout the summer, TriCo Realty, Investment and Construction has partnered with the public works department to take care of concrete and paving needs. According to Huffman, the remaining asphalt efforts for the year will have wrapped up by the end of September. Once pavement is in place, landscape repairs will begin.

“That road has been under construction all summer,” said Huffman. “The residents have been incredibly patient.”

While West Bountiful planned to have the project stretch to 10th North with additional sidewalk, Huffman says that may have to wait until next year due to the end of the season.

Asphalt maintenance

In an effort to preserve roads, West Bountiful dedicated $225,000 to asphalt maintenance in their fiscal year budget for 2026, according to a memorandum from Aug. 1. Employing the services of Anderson Asphalt, the following roads will receive treatments from now until fiscal year 2026/27:

• 1200 North – A seal coat to complete the recent repaving.

• 1100 West north of Pages Lane continuing on to the bottom of Porter Lane – crack seals and a modified slurry seal.

• Pages Lane west of 800 West to city limits – slurry seal.

• 675 West, 1300 North, portion of 640 West – crack seals, mastic seals, and modified slurry seal.

Charnell Pocket Park renovation

Known also as Lou Child’s Park as well as Child’s Park, West Bountiful announced at the beginning of the year that changes will be made to the space on 2340 North.

While no contractor has been selected for the project, Huffman says that a concept has been picked and that the city is currently receiving bids. Construction will be discussed during a future city council meeting.
