Logan intends to use 66 feet of a 99-foot Canyon Road right-of-way in a $70 million project

LOGAN - Logan intends to use 66 feet of a 99-foot Canyon Road right-of-way for a $70 million water tank and waterline project, Oct. 20 draft council minutes show. Finance Director Richard Anderson gave that total and said revenue bonds are approved but unissued.

A January 2026 FAQ describes a rebuild from 600 East to 1500 East with an 8-foot shared-use path, funded by water reserves, impact fees and rates, with no special assessment. The mayor's Nov. 18, 2025, statement calls it a two-lane design. A Nov. 20, 2024, memo recommended Alternative 6 on Canyon Road's north side.

Anderson said the city intends to vacate 33 feet. City Attorney Craig Carlston said a vacation needs a council vote and is not final; Chair Mike Johnson said the earliest was likely late 2027.

Public Works Director Paul Lindhardt said "only two pieces of water line pipe remained to be installed" on Canyon Road, with road work expected late April. The next council meeting is 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 17, the Nov. 3 agenda states; that packet was not posted Nov. 11.

Why this matters

A council vote would decide whether 33 feet of right-of-way goes back to Canyon Road owners.
