Redoing Park Drive could cost more than $425,000.

The Jordan City Council asked for cost estimates for improvement to Park Drive, which runs alongside the Mill Pond and through Lagoon Park. City Engineer Carol Caron presented three concept plans, each of which included 90-plus paved parking spaces, and the council asked that the design include just a couple fewer parking spaces and a little bit more beach area.

"I'm envisioning that beach space is going to be at a premium," Mayor Ron Jabs said. 

When the ground freezes, Rachel Contracting will begin dredging the Mill Pond.

The city of Jordan paid its first $109,079 on the Mill Pond project.

Kids say the darnedest things, don't they?

I got this e-mail from Mary Hanek last week:

You'd have to be blind to not know that the Mill Pond is being drained. There's little left but weeds and muck.

A recent neighborhood meeting in regard to the upcoming Mill Pond project drew a crowd, city officials said tonight.

With its eyes on a new city hall and library, a larger fire station, a cleaner Mill Pond, and an expanded water plant, Jordan awarded the sale of $8.61 million in bonds tonight (Monday).

The Mill Pond and Highway 282 projects are on the agenda for a Jordan City Council meeting that starts at 6:30 p.m. tonight at the city hall.
