BLODGETT LAYTON The long-delaye- d Antelope Drive interchange on Interstate Highway 15 should be ready to go out for bid "within the next few weeks." according to a Utah Department of Transportation spokesman. DYKE LEFEYRE, district enDOT gineer. said final plans are up for review in Salt Lake City but should be approved very soon. However, there are still some problems and concerns regarding the area surrounding the proposed interchange. One question still The Wasatch Front Regional Council Thursday revealed the in MICKELSEN un- answered. he noted, is whether or not Avalon Drive, a road leading into Camelot subdivision from Antelope Drive adjacent to the interchange, will be closed or left open. SINCE THERE will be a sound barrier built around the subdivision, some residents of the area question whether or not the open road would be detrimental to the effectiveness of the barrier. Mr. Lefevre explained that DOT studies show that the barrier will be about 80 percent effective if the road is left open. Thus, DOT is planning to leave the road open into the subdivision. RESIDENTS OF the subdivision living on Avalon Drive of the road becoming cation will be used to purchase rights-of-way- a throughway to the interestate and also enhance the chance of the barrier being more effective. However, persons living on roads that would receive traffic if Avalon Drive is closed are opposing the closure. DOT officials explained. MR. LEFEYRE explained that the project is going ahead "while federal funds are available." The project has been in the planning state for nearly 15 years and was deleted because of lack of dunds when the interstate was constructed several n years ago. "But the money is definate-lfiscal planned in the 1980-8year budget w hich started Oct y 1 . I," said Mr. Lefevre. "Although Congress has not officially adopted the budget. DOT officials have been told the money is available. On that basis, we are going ahead with the construction plans." HE SAID construction is ex- pected to begin early next spring and should be com- pleted about Mr. Lefevre noted that about 95 percent of the total cost an estimated of the project will come from $3.8 million federal funds with the remaining five percent being state money.

Mr, Jefferies said the group is asking for some navigational and air space improvements.

The plan suggests that air carriers unable to get into Salt Lake International may be diverted to Ogden, and the airport can be a center for commuter airline service.

Action on the two airports depends on that council. - Iooele Valley Airport, recommended by the council as a general utility airport to serve as a local training facility for the Salt Lake metropolitan area, and to provide a general aviation basing capacity of 500 aircraft. Of all the airports involved. the W f RC believes Iooele can effectively relieve future congestion from Salt Lake International. According to Mr. Jefferies, the only dissatisfaction over looele's ex- pansion has come from homeowners living adjacent now to the existing airport. - WOODS CROSS' Sky par Airport, another controversial facility in the eyes of the WFRC. Mr. Jefferies said the ow ners main concern is to develop surrounding land for industrial use. At present there are a lot of safety problems, namely oil tanks and refinery equipment near the runway s.

He noted that in the simple assault cases, the offense took place either inside the school or adjacent to the school. THE CHIEF said he thinks a great deal of the problem stems from peer group pressure, students daring others to commit the acts or encouraging v iolent offenses. All the cases the city has handled so far, he said, have been prosecuted, and the offenders often referred to juvenile court. MUCH HAS changed in the eyes of Chief Green since the early days of Clearfield rumbles and gang fights. He recalled a time, earlier in his career, when after-gam- e fights between Roy and Clearfield Fligh students got so bad. the principal at Roy called off the sporting events for the remainder of the year. But those instances are rare now, he said, although the police department keeps a d'se watch on rivalry games between the schools.
