Murray City Public Works has several projects underway through summer/fall 2023. We appreciate your patience as we work to complete these projects.
Murray’s water line replacement on Winchester Street from 300 West to State Street has been underway and will be completing the segment from I-215 to State Street. Following the waterlines, the pavement will be restored through street reconstruction and maintenance this fall.
A new storm drain line is being installed from 1070 West along 5400 South to the east and then north to Clover Meadow Drive. This project is the second phase of a project completed in early 2022 on the north side of 5400 South to improve stormwater capacity.
Deer eld Road and Woodshire Circle are being reconstructed with new curb and gutter and a roadway surface, as well as spot sidewalk repairs through September. Walden Wood Drive is also being fully reconstructed with spot sidewalk repairs. Roads will be closed to local tra c only.
The bridge deck at Commerce Drive/300 West and 4150 South over Big Cottonwood Creek will begin late summer and extend into fall. This project replaces the existing bridge deck that has been load rated due to its poor condition. One-way agged tra c is expected but alternative routes are encouraged.
Sidewalk repair and replacement has begun in the Walden Hills neighborhood on Chaparral Drive, Aspen Heights Drive, Quaking Aspen Drive, White Springs Drive, and Apple Vale Drive.
Midvale City, in conjunction with the Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District, are connecting a waterline from the intersection of 700 West and Winchester Street to Midvale City along 700 West. The work began in late July and is expected to last through October. It will result in directional closures at both the intersection and on 700 West. Please see Midvale’s project site for updates and project contact information: www. EngageMidvale.com/700w-waterline-project.

Message from the Council CITY COUNCIL
Dear Residents of Murray District 5 and Greater Murray City,
The last 18 months on the Council have been a rewarding experience and I am so proud of what we have accomplished for Murray. To name just a few of our accomplishments, we:
• Reduced the proposed property tax increase from 20% to 15%,
• Funded the Murray Theatre and Armory renovation, and
• Increased Murray employee pay to keep pace with in ation.
What does all of that mean for you? A reduced tax burden on you and your family while still balancing the budget, creating and protecting community spaces for you, and ensuring that we are keeping the best public servants in our city.
This year, I was proud to be elected the chair of the Council. As Chair, I pledged to improve transparency and improve ordinances. So far this year, we have:
• Added 2 additional police o cers and one additional re ghter/ rst responder because public safety is always my top priority
• Proposed and passed a reasonable travel policy that caps council member spending and brings all council travel into one budget, improving transparency and ensuring we are spending your tax dollars wisely
• Passed an update to power ordinances to allow larger solar panel arrays on commercial buildings so that businesses, reduce environmental impacts and support our local businesses.
With just under 5 months remaining in the year, I am optimistic about what this Council can achieve. We will continue to be proactive by eliminating unnecessary ordinances, supporting our city departments, and keep Murray thriving while continuing that small town, friendly, quaint feel. I welcome your thoughts and look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Garry Hrechkosy,
