Some residents had requested a signal at 1900 West (S.R. 126) and 700 South. The City made the signal study request to UDOT for this intersection. UDOT conducted this signal study earlier this year. UDOT has denied installing a signal at this time. Nothing further will be done on this matter until the intersection meets the state's criteria for a signal. Neighborhood Watch. A.J. Horting is one of our Deputy Sheriffs patrolling our City. He has noticed an increase in night-time burglary this year. He suggests that residents may consider leaving a porch light on at night to illuminate their home and deter criminal activity. This also helps emergency responders find your home in an emergency. Also, keep garage doors closed. Parks Season Ends. City parks will be closed to reservations after October 15, 2010, so that the parks can be winterized. Slaterville Park will remain open until after Trunk-or-Treat. Sleepy millcreek hollow Sleepy Millcreek Hollow is again coming to the western woods of Marriott-Slaterville this October.
