11 issues in roads
Potential Tymco Street Sweeper Purchase
The city's old street sweeper is past its service life; a new Tymco unit was bought at $401,006 through a cooperative bid, about $34,000 under budget.
Horseshoe Bend Parking Lot Resurfacing
Council wants a cheaper, better-defined annual pass for Page residents at Horseshoe Bend — possibly $10-15 for a non-commercial vehicle of up to five people — instead of the proposed $50 for ten visits.
Trolleys and microtransit
The council endorsed a federal 5311 grant application that would launch on-demand microtransit in Page while keeping rural routes to nearby communities — the city's biggest role yet in shaping local transit.
Airport Operations Update
Contour's CEO pitched adding Las Vegas and LAX as hubs beyond Phoenix and Denver and said Las Vegas service could launch in 45–90 days if the city amends the contract. The airport's certification caps aircraft at 30 seats, limiting capacity, though the CEO said a 50-seat plane would likely be payload-restricted in summer heat anyway.
Lake Powell Boulevard Safety
Voters will decide the initiative about the lanes on Lake Powell Boulevard at the November 3, 2026 general election.
Airport Parking Signage
Cars have sat in the terminal lot for months or years, crowding out renters, travelers, and airport employees. The board recommends 14-day maximum signs citywide for the lot, enforcement through the police department's abandoned-vehicle code, and employee parking permits as a first step.
Vista/Navajo street rebuild
A $2 million project to fully rebuild Vista and part of North Navajo — Page's worst street. Council kept the money in but held off starting it until land sale funds close, and debated undergrounding utilities.
Airport Parking Study
Travelers and even TSA employees struggle to find parking. The board recommended the redesign with the most spaces and wants abandoned cars towed, with a parking-signage item added to the next agenda.
Airport expansion sizing
A board member raised that Page's short runway caps airline growth — larger 121 aircraft can't operate fully — and suggested the city eventually consider a new airport site near Greenhaven. The chair suggested revisiting the topic next meeting.
Motor grader purchase for public works
The city's 1985 road grader barely runs, so it's buying a used 2017 Caterpillar for $206,890 to fix the sandy amphitheater parking lot and Fourth of July parking areas before summer crowds arrive.
Hall Road sidewalks and lighting
A business owner has asked four years running for sidewalks and lighting on Hall Road, where hotel and restaurant workers, J-1 visa staff, and kids walk or bike unsafely. She's asking the city to include it in the upcoming budget.
