# Tooele City Council Work Meeting – September 16, 2026

The Tooele City Council held a work meeting on September 16, 2026, focusing primarily on the update of the city's transportation master plan. Public Works Director Nathan Farr presented details about engaging Hales Engineering to conduct a comprehensive transportation master plan update, with a budget of $130,000. The plan aims to address the city's rapid growth, improve roadway expansion, and enhance the transportation network, including coordination with UDOT and regional transit providers. Council members discussed challenges such as traffic congestion, limited public transit options, and railroad crossing restrictions. The plan is expected to take 12 to 18 months, with ongoing stakeholder engagement and eventual recommendations to guide future budgetary and capital improvement decisions. No contract awards or vendor selections were made during this meeting, but the discussion sets the stage for future procurement related to transportation infrastructure projects.
