Cedar Hills hits runaround to finish Harvey Boulevard
Author: TAMMY MCPHERSON - The Daily Herald
Parents of Deerfield Elementary School students: Harvey Boulevard is still closed on the east
side.
The city of Cedar Hills planned to have the eastern portion of Harvey Boulevard, the road to
access Deerfield Elementary, finished before the end of this summer, said Konrad Hildebrandt,
city manager.
But with 12 days left before school starts for the elementary's second year of operation, plans for
the road are stagnant and some parents are upset.
"The biggest concern is that the school's on a dead end. It creates a whirlpool of traffic," said
Geri Clements, who has two children attending the elementary school. "A lot of people are
making a U-turn where they could have just gone out."
The unfinished portion of Harvey Boulevard is within Pleasant Grove city limits and Cedar Hills
has to build the road according to Pleasant Grove's requirements. The two-lane road is planned to
run from 4000 to 4800 West in Cedar Hills, hitting both Pleasant Grove and American Fork at
the ends. About 1,300 feet still needs to be completed, Hildebrandt said.
In order to get plans rolling, Cedar Hills engineer David Bunker said the city needs a cross
section, or the width, curb and gutter requirements, from Pleasant Grove.
Bunker said Cedar Hills hasn't sent the needed information to them yet, but Pleasant Grove
officials said they have sent it.
JUB Engineers Inc., the engineering firm that works for Pleasant Grove, said it is waiting for
Cedar Hills to decide whether to hire them to design the road.
"We may go with their engineering firm, but we need to get all of the information from
them," Hildebrandt said.
Pleasant Grove city manager Frank Mills said that, although Harvey Boulevard is in Pleasant
Grove, it was a project that the city didn't need -- which is why Cedar Hills is paying for the road
and then deeding it to Pleasant Grove.
"We really didn't need the road at the time and we told them if they wanted to build it they were
welcome to do that," Mills said.
