petroleum situation as it is now that traffic is not going to increase at all— it is going to continue to decrease" said Spence Another justification given by the UDOT is that unsafe conditions now exist in the proposed stretch Using UDOT daU augmented by Highway Patrol reports Spence found the department's assumptions to be faulty “The road is no more dangerous than the average road in Utah” Spence said "In terms of death rate the lower two sections they (UDOT) have already improved have exactly the same death rate as the section they want to work on” The proposed section has about twice the number of accidents per mile According to Spence three sections of the proposed stretch are where a vast majority of the accidents occur so “they are going to rip up the whole road in order to fix three points” When asked about these discrepancies Dyke LeFevre of the UDOT Ogden office felt that the reduction in travel might be due more to the availabilty of gas than the price He also explained that safety in the canyon was measured in accidents per million vehicle miles rather than fatalities Tom Lyon summed up the attitude of' many con8fry9?"if given a choice between asphalt and nature "It
