That's one of my favorite ones, by the way. I saw it twice. Oh, that's great.
Did you break down the number of who's going to go visit a business into the different cities who came and visited? Meaning, if they came from outside of Pleasant Grove, were they more or less likely to answer yes to that question, or are we just having Pleasant Grove people answer yes to that question? Does that make sense?
Yeah, to the question number 30. You asked that to all of them. You asked everyone?
Did you break it out as to like, okay, here's the percentage of Pleasant Grove citizens who said they would be more likely, they're going to go visit a business after the park, and here's all of the other cities, and what percentage of the other cities would go visit a Pleasant Grove business after the park?
What I'm saying, I'm thinking, yeah, I don't know. I could see Pleasant Grove people saying, well, I'm not going to go visit a business because I just live here. I'm just going to go home. But I could see, well, I'm here for the evening. I'm going to go grab dinner before I go home next. So I'm just curious as to, are the people we're bringing in the ones that are then patronizing, or are the people already here that are likely to go to Taco Migo anyway, are they the ones patronizing our business?
If you've got it, you can break it down.
I said Eric, not the mayor. Eric, thank you.
You work for the office. See, so the office makes the difference, Neil.
A couple maybe updates. So the project on Mahogany Drive up there, it seems to be coming along. It's a pretty major project, it seems like. Could you get us an update on maybe the timing of that?
I had another question, and I don't know if this would be maybe combined for you, Dion, and even Chief Brown, but we have had a citizen come talk to me about the crossings between the Murdoch Canal path and across kind of our major streets, 11th, 5th, and 2nd, and how that can get a little bit sketchy with bikers who are just kind of flying through, even though I think there's a small stop sign for them. Yeah. He reported a couple of near misses from from that kind of happening. I mean, have you been able to look at that? What would be the appropriate action? I mean, maybe getting something…
Then there was one other thing, and that is really close to my house. It's on 180, turns into Crescent. But in the part that was developed kind of before it was incorporated into Pleasant Grove, there's no sidewalks, very narrow road. It's very dark. And I don't know if, I know when we did that, the Blackhurst kind of development, there's that road that goes off, there may be a corner light there, but otherwise it's pretty dark. There was a lady that got hit by, as a pedestrian on that road and she was severely injured. I don't know if there's anything we could do to look at that and see if…
How much are they per light, just as kind of a ballpark?
So your study thing, observation we'll call it, it's still going on because like my daughter's just started tennis and the high school is obviously in full season for girls tennis. And so my kids play tennis. So that's why I know that sometimes there are people waiting for lighted courts when they're playing for tennis and it's hard to find them in other places. The reason why people come to ours is because they know there's four. So you're not going to drive to one court in Linden with the risk of it being taken. And find somebody there and then you... Same thing in Cedar Hills. And so,…
Can I ask you one other thing, maybe, Scott, is when you talk to the principal, as you're telling them what maybe the plan is, I don't know what the cost would be to light a couple of the courts up there. Yeah, I'll ask about that. High school, but would, yeah, would the high school or the school district maybe kick in some money if we wanted to light a couple courts up there?
So I'll talk to them about that. I mean, their team might like it because their team, I mean, like the men's team starts in the spring when it's still dark out. Oh, yeah. And so, I don't know. That was just a thought.
No, it wasn't. The residents aren't planning on coming down to voice.
So I just want, this is nine, this is 10A, right, that we're talking about, the action item. Yes. So they're gonna build another structure that kinda is off to the side of the big apartments that they're building right now, right? That's what we're talking about.
So with this retail, will that basically, pave in that hole like it'll end up paving the whole spot there be once this is approved okay yeah they need to come out with improvements for sure okay thank you all right megan David we're gonna save you for last David
Yeah, sorry, Steve. You can't be a part of it. I was taught in my breakout role. I know.
I had a question. Yeah. I was approached by somebody who only has girls. Okay. And they were wondering, have we considered ever doing like a girls only flag football league? It's apparently huge outside of Utah. Starting to be a thing, yes. And most, a lot of states actually have high school girls flag football as an accredited sport. Yeah. I'm just wondering if, with all the other kind of rec directors and things like that, has that been discussed? I don't know if Pleasant Grove itself would have enough for a full league, but if it was like a intercity league where the girls could have that.
Well, no, they're allowed and a lot of times they'll have a girls team playing. I was going to say, I think we have an all. I've coached a girls team. But my niece in California, she plays in a girls league. Yeah. It's, I don't know, obviously a different, she is 12. Yeah.
So her, her high school in California, San Clemente has a high school girls flag football team. It plays other high schools and they have a state championship and, and they're actually moving to also have boys sanctioned flag football.
and a lot of colleges have actually like club. So they're not NCAA teams, but they're club affiliated teams. And so anyway, I just thought it would be kind of cool because I think there's a lot of young girls that would love to have a,
It's going to be at LA. And I think the NFL's, I don't know if there's money available there from the NFL to maybe start an initiative, but I just think it would be kind of cool.
I mean, tackle football numbers have consistently dropped. Sure. Flag football numbers have consistently increased. I love that.
