Show Citizens Protest Possible IProv New 1-- Plke Suspect By Kidnapped Access 15 "Pi tin fic does not go at a "high rate of speed." Residents said the road won't be needed in Grandview unless the city "encouraged more traffic into the area by building it" They also said the city is going back on its word to Grandview residents, citing minutes of a 1977 meeting where city officials assured them that plans for a major road in the area had been dropped from the master plan and wouldn't even be considered again until at least the year 2000. "I'll never trust the city again. I think they're being hypocritical," said Val Wilcox. "We took them at their word then, and it irritates me beyond description to pay people to sit and draw little lines through a map and leave little slivers of land that won't be any good to anyone." Howell said the road originally was dropped from the master plan because the city didn't have enough data on present and future traffic patterns and because of the "considerable opposition" to the plan. By DOROTHY KNOELL Herald SUff Reporter More than 200 angry Grand view Hills residents turned out Tuesday night to protest a proposed amendment to Provo' s general plan which could run a major road through their neighborhood to connect M5 with the University Parkway (BYU Diagonal). Jerry Howell. Provo community development director, and Neil and Al Mickelsen from the planning office, told residents the proposal is only a recommendation and even if it were included on the general plan, it won't be built if it's not needed. "We're looking down the road probably at least 10 to 15 years. It's not like it would be built tomorrow. We would just like to plan in advance so that if it is needed, we have prepared for it," Howell said. The amendment was on the Planning Commission agenda for tonight, but will be continued until next month's meeting at the request of the neighborhoods involved, who wanted more time to examine the proposals. Mickelsen showed the residents four proposed routes for the road, all crossing State Street and eventually connecting to the south side of the diagonal at 2230 North. The "best route," determined by planning officials as having the least impact on developments, a central location, and being shorter than the others, was one that would create a new road through the Grandview area .near 1700 North, running south of the new Golden Living Development. The road would connect to if the Utah Department of Transportation decides it is necessary to have another interchange at that location. Howell said studies showed the diagonal will not be able to handle the amount of traffic volume projected in the future, and the 1460 North street in Grandview would then be used by motorists to "beat the congestion." "The 2230 North intersection on the diagonal will be completed sometime this year, going through to 550 West and State Street. With that connection, your area will get that traffic volume and we think It would be better for that traffic to be traveling on a road designed to handle it," he said. Lindberg said the road would be at first, designed to be expanded to four-lanlater, and would be built along the lines of 900 East, where traf Lindberg CLAUDE 'KIM' PETERSON South Salt Lake Police believe the boy might have been kidnapped by a man living somewhere in north Utah County, between Lehi and Orem.

Dick Burr, who owns property in the path of the proposed road, said it won't matter when the road is built, if it is included on the master plan it will adversely affect property owners and encourage commercial development in the area. Residents said one of the proposed routes, which would use part of the existing 2000 South road in Orem, is a better location, but isn't being considered because "Orem's mayor doesn't want it built there because it would funnel shopping into Provo." "We're being asked to sacrifice and juggle traffic because Orem and Provo don't get along," said Bob Pack. "Also, I find it suspicious that this issue is raised now, just when BYU is increasing the size of its football stadium. It would be benefiting BYU and not Grandview." Howell said the city realizes Grand-viewouldn't generate most of the increased traffic colume, but said 1460 North would carry it regardless of where it came from. "This is not a public hearing, we just came to give information to the neighbors and get your opinion on the proposal, and I think we have done that," Howell said, after listening to several angry residents who were cheered by the crowd. 108TH YEAR, NO. 89 PROVO.

Democrat said he would meet today with House leaders and with Senate leaders soon to lay down an agenda for the lame duck session. Baker, who will become majority leader in January and who commands enough votes during the lame duck session to block any partisan Democratic moves, told reporters, "We should do as little as is necessary take care of the housekeeping details and keep the government operating until January." A fiscal 1981 budget, trimmed to reflect Ronald Reagan's promise to cut waste, and a catchall appropriations bill to keep departments and agencies operating may be the only major pieces of legislation to emerge from the ses- acceptable. "He would veto a tax cut bill if it should hit his desk," said O'Neill. "He thought it would be tremendously inflationary." In the same conversation, Carter told O'Neill that he hoped only the budget and the appropriations bills needed to keep the government running would pass. There is a movement to simply lump all the money measures into one temporary continuing resolution and let the next Congress handle them. In the Senate, where Democrats still hold a 1 edge, Republican leader Howard Baker outlined modest hopes for the session, saying it should accomplish "as little as is necessary."
