Browsing through the Utah Legislature website, the most notable changes I see are that UT-197 (Lehi's 500 West, from UT-73 to US-89) and UT-212 (I-15 near Washington to Washington's 300 East) have been decommissioned. Meanwhile, the Mountain View Corridor (UT-85) has its first portion written into the books, I'm not sure what they mean with UT-73,* UT-126's description at its south end has been changed, as has UT-225's western end.

Not much there, but I thought I'd post it.

*The text is "SR-73. From Route 36 northeast of St. John Station southeasterly on Five Mile Pass [; then northeasterly to Route 89 in Lehi] to Route 68; then easterly again beginning at 850 East in Lehi to Route 89." (Strikethroughs were previous; italics are new). Looking at Google Maps (I know), I don't know if this means a possible duplex with UT-68 or what. Maybe it's a gap in the route or something. It's just worded weird.

That's dumb the way the SR-73 changes were handled, because we now have two discontinuous pieces of the route. UDOT should have renumbered the short eastern remnant to something else.
Infrastructure. The city.

Perhaps they'll sign the east part as only to US 89/I-15.

Perhaps. Maybe they could also just get rid of that eastern stub altogether and just run SR-73 south along SR-68 for a little bit, then have it take over SR-145 (Pioneer Crossing).

I heavily prefer small, short duplexes like one with SR-68 that would connect otherwise unconnected (or staggered) routes (SRs 73 and 145)* than to see some random gap in what should be a single, continuous route (like what we have with SR-73 now).

*Not to mention SRs 14/56, 114/146, 150/248, 180/74 and so forth. Of course, some route pairs still end at the same point (10/72, 141/147, etc.)

Well, while I'm on SR-73 and SR-145, here's a map of what they would look like if merged.
