Nearly $200,000 in emergency emer-gency grant funding has been disbursed so far and a special fund has been established estab-lished for any who want to help with the relief aid. The special funds will be used to support both immediate and long-term needs of the victims. There are 73,000 Lions in the disaster regions coming to the aid of those in need, working in the affected communities and coordinating coordinat-ing with the government at national levels.

Hut plans for widening the entire S R. 92 corridor into Highland have been put on hold, indefinitely. A lack of funding for a project with early estimations estima-tions of anywhere from $10 million to $20 million caused transportation officials offi-cials to halt the environmental environ-mental study which was started last year. Mountainland Association Associa-tion of Governments and Ix-hi financially backed the environmental study after Iehi requested a study be started for planning purposes. pur-poses. In June, Utah Department of Transportation, Transporta-tion, MAG and Lehi hosted open houses where residents resi-dents came to review the proposals to widen S R. 92. Residents were encouraged encour-aged to make comments which would be considered and added 10 the environmental environ-mental study. A draft of the study was scheduled to lx; completed by March. But after the scope of the project proj-ect got larger than what was originally proposed by Ixrhi and with no funding to continue, the environmental environmen-tal study was halted, said Lehi Mayor Ken Greenwood.

The information gathered gath-ered at the open houses in June will still be used once the study of S.R. 92 is started start-ed again, said Geoff Dupaix, spokesman for UDOT Region 3. Though he is not sure when the study might be resumed, some improvements to the road were not projected to be needed until 2010 or even 2030, so there is still time for the environmental studies. stud-ies. "We don't have to start from ground zero," Dupaix said. And some improvements will be happening before 2010. $2.2 million in state and federal funds have been earmarked to widen S.R. 92 from the 1-15 interchange inter-change to 1200 West in Ix-hi, and stoplights will be added, along with additional addition-al turn lanes, Dupaix said. Construction on those improvements should start in late spring or early summer. sum-mer. The goal is to make sure improvements are finished fin-ished before Cabela's, one of the nation's most popular outdoor retailers of hunting, hunt-ing, fishing and outdoor gear opens in October, he said.
