Provo City Airport marked a milestone with the opening of a dedicated snow-removal equipment building. The eight pull-through bays let crews service equipment quickly and keep operations ready during winter storms, with office space for the operations team as well.

The project was funded in part by the FAA as the airport expands from four gates to ten and eyes international service in coming years. July was the airport’s best month ever, and it now offers 16 nonstop destinations weekly with American, Allegiant, and Breeze.

If you’re planning a trip, consider flying out of Provo.

Save water by upgrading your irrigation system.

Traditional spray sprinklers often apply water too quickly, causing runoff onto sidewalks and roads. High-efficiency rotary nozzles deliver water in slow, controlled streams that soak into the soil, reduce overspray, and limit wind drift. Learn more about our $3 per rotary nozzle rebate and apply through Provo's Water Efficiency Programs at provo.gov/water-efficiency.

Looking for additional savings? Consider switching landscape beds to drip irrigation. The Central Utah Water Conservancy District offers incentives through its Switch to Drip Program at utahwatersavers.com/central-utah-water-conservancy-district-lip-details-rural.

Join us on Saturday August 22nd at 11:00 AM as we celebrate the new Provo River Bridge & Trail at 820 North! RSVP at provoriverbridge.com.

This project improves safety for drivers, bicyclists, pedestrians, and trail users, while improving connections between Provo’s east and west sides.

Highlights include:
· New vehicle lanes with a shared center-turn lane
· Bike lanes on both sides of the road
· Wide pedestrian paths
· Concrete barriers separating pedestrians from traffic
· A bridge designed for a 75-year service life

The improved underpass also features a new mural and provides smoother access to the Provo River Trail.

Thank you to everyone for your patience during construction as we worked to deliver a safer, more connected corridor for the Provo community!

School’s back. So are the backpacks. 🎒

Last week, Provo continued our process to enhance accessibility under the Americans with Disability Act.

We talk a lot about making government more transparent and accountable, but government also must be accessible. If residents can’t physically enter a building, navigate our streets and sidewalks, access our information, or participate in a public meeting, then we haven’t fully delivered on that promise.

Together, we can ensure every resident can fully participate, because ADA compliance isn’t just about legality. It’s about community.
