The corridor Pleasant View
One shared freeway ramp, two trunk roads, a freight mainline, a dormant passenger alignment and no confirmed bus route
The US-89 corridor, and a freeway exit with the neighbour's name on it.
Pleasant View reaches Interstate 15 at Exit 349, and the transportation department signs that exit Farr West / Pleasant View, the neighbour first. SR-134, which is 2700 North, runs across the bottom of the city and US-89 crosses the north west corner. A Union Pacific mainline and the commuter rail alignment both pass through the west side, and nothing with passengers on it stops: service north of Ogden ended on 10 August 2018 and the nearest platform is about six miles south. No bus route serving this city could be confirmed.
My own ground is Iron and Washington counties at the bottom of the state, a long way south of this bench, so these pages are researched rather than lived. What is on them came from the bodies that issue it: Pleasant View City's own history, events, facilities and police pages, its adopted Ordinance 2025-25 as published by the Utah Division of Water Resources, the Bonneville Shoreline Trail Committee's region pages and its 2023 status report, the Trails Foundation of Northern Utah, the Utah Geological Survey's geothermal record, the Forest Service's Ogden Ranger District trail records, the transportation department's own route file, the Census Bureau's boundary and survey tables, the state population committee, the state board of education through the state school layer, the Weber County parcel extract, the North View Fire District and the Weber County Library System. Every figure carries the day it was read, and where four bodies name one place four ways, all four are printed. A Weber and Morgan partner agent takes the ground level work.
The short answer
Pleasant View reaches the freeway at Interstate 15 Exit 349, and the transportation department signs that exit Farr West / Pleasant View, with the neighbour's name first. The exit meets SR-134, which is 2700 North, running across the bottom of the city. US-89 crosses the north west corner toward the junction the same department still calls Hot Springs Junction. A Union Pacific mainline and the commuter rail alignment both run through the corridor on the city's west side, and no passenger train stops: service north of Ogden was suspended on 10 August 2018 and the nearest platform is Ogden Central, about six miles south. No bus route serving this city could be confirmed at the transit authority. Checked 21 August 2026.
The live question
How do you actually get out of Pleasant View in the morning?
By car, and the record is unusually clear about why that is the only answer. Start with the freeway. Interstate 15 Exit 349 is the city's freeway door, and every ramp record in the transportation department's own route file carries the same phrase: the exit is signed Farr West / Pleasant View. A city of eleven thousand shares its interchange with a neighbour of eight thousand and does not get its name first on the sign. That is an orientation fact worth having before a first visit, and it appears on no listing anywhere.
The road that exit meets is SR-134, which is 2700 North. The department's own route description reads: from Route 37 at Kanesville northerly to Plain City; then easterly to Route 235 in North Ogden. Recorded length 14.37 miles. So the state route across the bottom of Pleasant View is the same road that links the west side farming towns to the freeway and then runs east to Washington Boulevard in the next city. It is the city's one east to west trunk and it is not a Pleasant View road in any exclusive sense.
The other trunk is US-89, which crosses the city's north west corner. The department's route description for it in this area is the road running northerly through Uintah Junction and Ogden to Route 91 near the south city limits of Brigham City. North of the city it reaches the junction with SR-126 that the department itself names Hot Springs Junction, at Interstate 15 Exit 351, an exit signed Willard. That name, and the springs behind it, are a subject of their own.
What there is not is any scheduled service. The rails run through the city and the trains stop six miles south. No bus route serving Pleasant View was confirmed at the transit authority in this research, and a route description in circulation names a station that closed in 2018, so this page prints no route number at all. Whatever the answer to the morning question is, it is a car on one of two trunk roads to a freeway ramp with somebody else's name on it.
Do not plan an address here around a bus route number found online, because nothing published confirmed one. The transit authority's own schedule tools are a browser application that would not return a route page listing a Pleasant View stop in this research. Route numbers do circulate in search results for this city, and at least one of them is described as running between a Pleasant View station and Ogden Station, which cannot be a current description: commuter rail service north of Ogden was suspended on 10 August 2018 and the station in this city closed with it. That makes the description very likely stale rather than merely unverified. If transit matters to a household weighing this city, check directly at the transit authority before an offer, and treat every route number in circulation, on this corridor, as unconfirmed until you have.
The street file
Every named street in this city has a route record behind it, and one famous name does not.
The transportation department maintains a route file covering not only its own highways but the federal aid routes on city streets, and Pleasant View's streets sit in it with descriptions written by the agency rather than by anybody local. That means the street names in circulation for this city can be sourced rather than assumed, and one of the best known of them cannot be.
| The street | The route description, in the department's own words | Recorded length |
|---|---|---|
| Pleasant View Drive | Jct. US-89 in Pleasant View easterly via Pleasant View Drive to 400 East | 3.62 miles |
| Elberta Drive | Jct. Pleasant View Drive in Pleasant View easterly via Elberta Drive to 400 East | 1.43 miles |
| 1000 West | Jct. SR-134 (2700 North) in Pleasant View northerly via 1000 West to Pleasant View Drive | 1.04 miles |
| 500 West and Weber High Drive | Jct. Elberta Drive northerly via 500 West in Pleasant View; easterly via Weber High Drive (3500 North); southeasterly and easterly via 3100 North, with a portion recorded as unconstructed | Not recorded as a single figure |
| 2550 North | Jct. US-89 easterly via 2550 North to SR-235 | 1.80 miles |
| 600 West | Jct. 2550 North northerly via 600 West to Elberta Drive, which the record also calls 3300 North | Not recorded as a single figure |
| 500 West, north end | Jct. 3500 North northerly via 500 West to 4300 North | Not recorded as a single figure |
| SR-134, which is 2700 North | From Route 37 at Kanesville northerly to Plain City; then easterly to Route 235 in North Ogden | 14.37 miles |
The transportation department's own route file, queried 21 August 2026. Two notes worth carrying. Skyline Drive is named as a Pleasant View arterial in general circulation, including on this site's own practical city guide, and appears in no route record for this city; the bench route in the department's records runs on Weber High Drive, which is 3500 North, and on 3100 North. And a purely local street would not need a federal aid route number at all, so absence from this file is a reason to verify rather than a proof of non existence.
Two things fall out of that file. The first is that Pleasant View's street naming is a mixture of names and numbers in a way that is easy to misread. Elberta Drive is also 3300 North, and the department's own record says so inside the description of a different route. Weber High Drive is also 3500 North. A reader who knows the city by numbers and a reader who knows it by names are describing the same streets, and any address search that assumes one system will miss half the city.
The second is the unconstructed line, and it is the kind of detail nobody prints. The record covering 500 West, Weber High Drive and 3100 North carries the words portion unconstructed inside the department's own description. A federal aid route that runs partly across ground where the road has not been built is a planning artefact rather than a driving instruction, and it is a useful reminder that the street grid on the upper bench of this city is still filling in.
The third street fact worth naming is a correction. A well known arterial name for this city, Skyline Drive, does not appear in any transportation department route record for Pleasant View. It does appear in that department's directions to a trailhead in the county seat several miles south. The safe street names for this city, all of which have route records, are Pleasant View Drive, Elberta Drive, 2700 North and 1000 West, and this companion uses those.
The details
Getting there
Take SR-134, which is 2700 North, west across the bottom of the city and the ramps appear at Exit 349. The next interchange north, Exit 351, is signed Willard and meets US-89 at the junction the department calls Hot Springs Junction. One curiosity to record so nobody corrects the page toward it: two ramp records at Exit 349 print SR-134 as 2700 West rather than 2700 North. The master route description and every street name alias in the department's own data say 2700 North, so the two odd records are a typo inside the agency's file rather than a second road.
Before you go
- The exit carries the neighbouring city's name first, so navigation systems and road signs will both say Farr West before they say Pleasant View.
- Elberta Drive is also 3300 North and Weber High Drive is also 3500 North, and the city is described both ways depending on who is writing.
- Skyline Drive has no route record in this city. Use Pleasant View Drive, Elberta Drive, 2700 North and 1000 West, all of which do.
- The freeway is reached west and south rather than east. Everything on the eastern side of this city climbs toward the mountain and stops.
The rails
Two alignments run through this city and nothing with passengers on it stops.
The state railroads layer, queried for the Pleasant View envelope on 21 August 2026, returns two things in the corridor on the west side of the city: Union Pacific segments marked as mainline in the Ogden division, and separate transit authority segments marked as the commuter rail division. Both alignments physically run through this city. One carries freight and the other carries nothing at all, because the service that used it was suspended on 10 August 2018 and the station here closed with it.
The transit authority's own current station list gives Weber County exactly two commuter rail stations, Ogden Central at 2393 S Wall Avenue and Roy at 4155 S Sandridge Drive, with Ogden as the northern end of the line. Read 20 August 2026. So the practical position for a household here is precise and slightly absurd: the track passes the west side of the city, and the nearest platform is about six miles south in the county seat. That is not a complaint, it is the fact, and it is the reason no page in this companion describes this as a rail city.
The freight line is a different matter and it has been the making of this corridor for more than a century. Around the turn of the century, special trains ran up it from Salt Lake City and Ogden to the resort at the hot springs at the top of the city, on the Utah Geological Survey's own account. The same survey records that the springs presently flow under the railroad, which is the single image that ties the rail line, the utility corridor, the highway and the county line together in one sentence.
For anyone weighing a west side address, the honest summary is that the corridor is working infrastructure. A freight mainline, a dormant passenger alignment beside it, a utility corridor, a federal highway and an interstate all run through the same few hundred yards of the city's western edge. What that sounds like at a specific address is a question to answer standing on the ground at different times of day, not from any page.
The details
Getting there
There is nothing to catch here. The track through Pleasant View carries freight, the commuter alignment beside it has carried no service since 10 August 2018, and the nearest active platform is about six miles south in the county seat. Anybody planning to use commuter rail from an address in this city is planning a drive to Ogden Central first, and the transit authority's own station list is the place to confirm times and parking.
Before you go
- The rails through this city and the trains that stop in this city are two different subjects, and the second one does not exist.
- A route description in circulation names a Pleasant View station; that station closed in 2018, which makes the description stale rather than merely unverified.
- The same corridor carries the utility line, US-89 and the interstate within a few hundred yards, so a west side address sits beside several kinds of working infrastructure at once.
- The hot springs at the top of the corridor flow under this railroad, on the geological survey's own wording.
The working city
Two thousand eight hundred jobs on this ground, and no public body will name a single employer.
The labour department's annual labour market report, Table 18 for Weber County, data year 2023, records Pleasant View with average employment of 2,862, of which manufacturing accounts for 853. That is the only community level employment figure any public body publishes for this city, and it is worth pausing on: a bedroom city of eleven thousand people holds nearly three thousand jobs, almost a third of them in manufacturing, on ground most descriptions of the place never mention.
What the same table will not do is name anybody. Its city rows carry suppressions to protect individual firms, and no Weber County economic development material located in this research names a single Pleasant View employer either. The city itself has no economic development page in its main navigation. So the honest position is a sector count and no list of doors, and this page prints no company name at all rather than borrowing one from a directory.
The city does say one thing about its own working ground, and it says it on its About page: that it holds several hundred acres of undeveloped land positioned in ideal locations for commercial and industrial expansion. That is a planning statement from the city rather than a description of what is there now, and it is worth reading alongside the water page, because the same city has adopted an ordinance projecting a near doubling of population and stating that anticipated demand exceeds anticipated supply.

Living with it
Two trunk roads, one shared freeway ramp, and the part of the day a household here actually repeats.
The corridor is the page that matters most before an offer in this city, because it is the only one about something a household does every single day. The shape of it is simple. Two trunk roads, SR-134 across the bottom and US-89 across the north west corner. One freeway interchange, Exit 349, shared with the neighbouring city and signed with its name first. A rail corridor on the west side carrying freight and a dormant passenger alignment. And no confirmed scheduled service of any kind inside the city limits.
What that means in practice depends almost entirely on which way an address faces. A west side address sits close to the ramp, close to the working ground and close to the rail and utility corridors. An upper bench address on the east side is further from all of it, higher up, and adds several minutes at the start and end of every trip. Between them the city climbs about a thousand feet, which the vantage page sets out properly.
The census survey's own commute distribution is the closest thing to a live answer anybody publishes: of 4,413 workers aged sixteen and over who do not work from home, 618 report a trip of 45 to 59 minutes and 189 report an hour or more. Those are the two tails and they are worth knowing because they suggest a meaningful minority of this city commutes a long way. This page prints the distribution and stops there, because who those workers are is not a subject.
The one thing worth doing before an offer is unglamorous and free. Drive the route from the address to wherever the household actually goes, at the hour it actually goes, twice: once in February and once in July. Two trunk roads and one shared ramp is a simple system, and simple systems fail in predictable places. Everything else about this corner of the city, the springs on the county line and the working ground beside them, sits on the springs page.
A city of eleven thousand with a freeway exit that carries its neighbour's name first, a mainline railway with no train that stops, and no confirmed bus at all.

The corridor, answered.
Exit 349, and the transportation department signs it Farr West / Pleasant View, with the neighbouring city's name first. Every ramp record at that interchange in the department's own route file carries the phrase, for example from Interstate 15 to SR-134, 2700 North, Farr West / Pleasant View. The exit meets SR-134, which is 2700 North, running across the bottom of the city about 2.5 miles south west of the city offices. One curiosity in the same file: two ramp records print SR-134 as 2700 West rather than 2700 North, which is a typo inside the agency's own data rather than a second road.
It is 2700 North, the state route across the bottom of the city, and the transportation department's own route description reads: from Route 37 at Kanesville northerly to Plain City; then easterly to Route 235 in North Ogden. The recorded length is 14.37 miles. So the road linking the west side farming towns to the freeway is the same road that carries traffic east from Pleasant View to Washington Boulevard in the next city. It is the city's one east to west trunk route and it serves several municipalities rather than this one alone.
No. The rails are there and no passenger service uses them. The state railroads layer records both Union Pacific mainline segments in the Ogden division and the transit authority's commuter rail alignment running through the corridor on the city's west side, but service north of Ogden was suspended on 10 August 2018 and the station in this city closed with it. The transit authority's current station list gives Weber County exactly two stations, Ogden Central at 2393 S Wall Avenue and Roy at 4155 S Sandridge Drive, with Ogden as the northern end of the line. The nearest platform is about six miles south.
Unresolved, and no route number is printed here for that reason. The transit authority's schedule tools are a browser application that would not return a route page listing a Pleasant View stop in this research. Route numbers do circulate for this city in search results, and at least one of them is described as running between a Pleasant View station and Ogden Station, which cannot be current: that station closed with the suspension of commuter rail service north of Ogden on 10 August 2018. Anybody for whom transit matters should check directly at the transit authority before an offer.
Not in any transportation department route record for this city. Skyline Drive is named as a Pleasant View arterial in general circulation, including twice on this site's own practical city guide, and appears in no route record here; it does appear in the same department's directions to a trailhead in the county seat several miles south. The bench route in the department's own records for Pleasant View runs on Weber High Drive, which is 3500 North, and on 3100 North. A purely local street would not need a federal aid route number, so this is a reason to verify at the city's own road map rather than a proof of non existence.
Four of them carry route records in the transportation department's own file and are the safe names to use. Pleasant View Drive runs from US-89 easterly to 400 East, 3.62 miles. Elberta Drive runs from Pleasant View Drive easterly to 400 East, 1.43 miles, and the same file also calls it 3300 North. 1000 West runs from SR-134 northerly to Pleasant View Drive, 1.04 miles. And 2550 North runs from US-89 easterly to SR-235, 1.80 miles. Weber High Drive, which is 3500 North, carries the bench route along with 3100 North, and part of that record is marked unconstructed.
Average employment of 2,862 in the labour department's annual labour market report, Table 18 for Weber County, data year 2023, of which manufacturing accounts for 853. That is the only community level employment figure any public body publishes for this city and nothing newer at that level was located in this research. The same table's city rows carry suppressions to protect individual firms, so the sector figures will not sum to the city total, and no public body located here names a single Pleasant View employer. This page prints no company name for that reason.
The only published answer is a distribution rather than an average this companion will vouch for. The Census Bureau's American Community Survey for 2020 to 2024 counts 4,413 workers aged sixteen and over in this city who do not work from home, of whom 618 report a trip of 45 to 59 minutes and 189 report 60 minutes or more. Those are the two long tails. Every drive time in circulation for this city, including the ones on this site's own practical city guide, is computed from a map rather than issued by an agency, and the honest advice is to drive the actual route at the actual hour before an offer.
The junction of US-89 and SR-126 north of Pleasant View, at Interstate 15 Exit 351, which is signed Willard. The name is the transportation department's own: its route description for SR-126 reads from Fort Lane at Layton Parkway Interchange northerly to Route 89 at Hot Springs Junction. The springs it is named for sit on the Box Elder and Weber county line at the top of this city, the resort that stood there was torn down about 1970, and there is no public access to the site. A state agency still using the name in 2026 is the clearest measure of how deep it runs on this corridor.
Two trunk roads and one shared ramp, which is the part of the day a household here repeats.
This is the page to read before an offer, because it is the only one about something that happens every morning. A west side address sits near the ramp, the working ground and the rail corridor. An upper bench address sits about eight hundred feet higher and adds minutes to every trip. Nothing scheduled stops in this city, the freeway exit carries the neighbour's name first, and no bus route could be confirmed at the transit authority. The free and unglamorous test is to drive the actual route at the actual hour, once in February and once in July. Tell me which addresses are on your list and I will introduce you to a Weber and Morgan partner agent who works this corridor, and stay on the file for the financing side.
