Stockpiled Dirt at Heritage Park

600 North and Fairfield Road (looking north)

Dirt will be used here to fill in a portion of the hollow

on the right hand side of this picture.

A sidewalk will then be installed in this area.

This spring you will see dirt that has been stockpiled at Heritage Park removed. The City moved dirt from several different locations last year and stored it on the Heritage Park property so that it could be used for 2009 street projects. It has been estimated that this has saved the City hundreds of thousands of dollars because the City now does not need to purchase dirt for some of the street projects this year.

Some of the material will be moved to:

• 500 East Street for culvert upgrade and roadway aligning between Crestwood Road and Oak Lane.
  
• Fairfield Road for culvert extension and roadway widening between 600 North and Boynton Road.

Some of the material will remain at Heritage Park to be used for grading and a parking lot.

Kaysville's Snow Horse

As you look toward the mountain in the spring, the shape of a horse appears as the snow melts. The Snow Horse can be seen from both Kaysville and Layton. Early farmers in this area used this as an indication of how much water they would have during the summer. If the Snow Horse is still visible on June 1, pioneers knew there would be enough water for their crops. Farmers also used this as a guide to determine when it would be safe to plant crops. They would not plant until the Snow Horse appeared on the mountain.

New Elementary School

The Planning Commission recently granted approval for a new elementary school to be built at 1975 South Lake Ridge Drive (west of I-15, north of Shepard Lane, east of Sunset Drive and south of Burton Lane). The School District informs us that it will be ready for occupancy in 2010.
