Concerned parents in a growing Utah County community said they are struggling with heavy traffic near several local schools, impacting both the timeliness and safety of dropping off their children.

According to Bradshaw, the main concern for parents is not necessarily the drop-off and pick-up queues, but the overall traffic flow and daily gridlock. AnnElise Harrison, a city spokeswoman, acknowledged these concerns and mentioned plans for road expansions with the Utah Department of Transportation to alleviate commuter traffic.

"So you'll have two frontage roads with a space in the middle for a future freeway," she said. "Once the freeway is built, a lot of that commuter traffic is going to use the freeway to get through there, which will leave those frontage roads for local traffic.".
