PARKING PROBLEMS, SOUTH SIDE OF THE RESERVOIR.
With the influx of ice fisherman, the recent construction on Dike Road and the last few holidays, a problem has come up with the parking around the reservoir. Hopefully we can get the word out and not write another citation this winter!
There has been an issue on the south side of the reservoir with fisherman parking ON the roadway. Due to the construction this last summer, the signage is a little confusing. However, parking on a roadway has never been permitted. Dike Road is a two lane street and needs to be traveled in both directions, due to snow banks and a soft shoulder, fisherman have been parking in the westbound lane of travel, blocking travel out of that area and causing a hazard to oncoming vehicles.
We have met with Brigham City (Who actually owns and maintains the roadway) and discussed the problem. In the diagram below, a yellow circle indicates a newly proposed parking lot that will hopefully be constructed next year.
A newly constructed parking lot is located just south of the beach area and west of our problem area. This is a great option to utilize should you like to access the south side of the reservoir. There are also additional parking near the bathrooms on the far east end of Dike Road and a smaller parking lot which is shown in the picture.
Parking on Dike Road is prohibited and, due to the tall snowbanks, parking on the shoulder is not currently feasible.
If you are having trouble with this, PLEASE reach out to us and we can show you the best place to park. We work hard to facilitate an enjoyable time to those who visit our little town, however we need to maintain access and egress along our roadways.
