The Utah Transportation Commission convened on June 27, 2025, to discuss key transportation projects and funding allocations. The meeting focused on the proposed changes to the US 89 intersection at Linden, specifically the transition from a signalized intersection at 200 North to a new intersection at 400 North.

The commission reviewed the financial contributions for the project, noting that Linden City would contribute $3.9 million, while the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) would provide $1 million. It was highlighted that the user cost savings from avoiding a signal at 200 North would outweigh UDOT's contributions. If approved, the funding would be incorporated into the project and passed through to the city via a signed project agreement.

Maps were presented to illustrate the proposed changes, showing the shift from the current intersection layout to the new design. A motion was made to approve the funding addition for the US 89 Linden 400 North and 200 North project, emphasizing the importance of this development for local traffic flow.

During the discussion, concerns were raised about the impact of the new intersection on existing structures, specifically an outbuilding associated with the Fellowship Bible Church, which the city purchased two years prior. The commission sought clarification on whether the new road design would affect this building.

The meeting concluded with a focus on the next steps for the project, including further assessments and community engagement to ensure a smooth transition to the new intersection design.
