Traffic Calming Pilot Program in Diamond Summit

I hope that you all have received the letter from West Valley City's Public Works Department. If you haven't, please click on the above picture to read the content. I have been working with WVC Public Works Department City Transportation Engineer, Erik Brondum, for quite some time. This is great that the city is using our neighborhood for this traffic calming pilot program. Not only is it bringing attention to this issue in our neighborhood, but it is helping to resolve this issue for other neighborhoods as well. For those of us that live on Wakefield, Laurel Canyon & High Bluff know first hand the necessity of these traffic calming devices. I am looking forward to finding out the results of the data that is being collected from these measures. It is my hope that all residents will take time to think about what it takes for our children to be safe. In my opinion, it does require speed humps in addtion to the driver feedback signs. I'll be sure to keep updates on this blog when I receive them. If you have questions, please feel free to contact Erik Brondum at 963-3406 or email him at ebrondum@wvc-ut.gov or me at summitneighborhoodwatch@yahoo.com anytime.

NNO, A Great Success!

Thank you Diamond Summit for a GREAT National Night Out!

I truly believe that friendships were strengthened as I watched people talking, visiting & meeting one another. A great big thanks to all of those that helped pull this together. The Summit Neighborhood Watch Block Captains worked hard at making this event happen! Also, Thank you for those West Valley City officials that attended...Chief "Buzz" Nielsen, Assistant Chief Mike Wells, Officer Buchanan, Craig, Owen, WVC Firefighters from station 71, Council Member at-large Cory Rushton, NNO Knight & McGruff, and members from the Community Preservation Committee! Also, thank you to the residents who let us bombard their lawns & front yards! Thank you to Molly & Michelle for cooking the hot dogs. We had a great time...and we're looking forward to next year! If you didn't get a chance to get your child's ID & DNA kit, let me know & we'll get you the paperwork. This event was designed to prevent crime & that will happen when we get to know each other & we'll be more willing to "look out for each other". I am grateful for all those that attended, thank you for making our neighborhood a safer place to live!
