to nominate their city for “most” and “biggest potholes” categories in the Guinness Book of World Records There are still a few holes here and there lying in wait for the unwary motorist But a major repair and maintenance effort by city crews this summer has put a big dent in the out more citations against the infractions causing serious The roadblocks followed a violent accident May 27 that killed three men police said were racing another car out of ng the canyon Police Chief Joe Ritchie and other administrators said they had hoped the “selective enforcement” would curb bad accidents and

precipitation and resulting damage to Ogden streets caused the city council to hike the fiscal 1984 maintenance budget to $405000 — an increase of 83 percent over the previous year Councilman Clifford Goff asked Fluhart to explain why so many roads are sealed and coated with a layer of rocks Both motorists and the people who live on streets that have be coated are “less than thrilled” with the process he noted Fluhart responded that the chipping process is a relatively inexpensive way of maintaining Utah road and nearly doubles the “life” "f a street Where a normal stree might have a life

side of the road W FARMINGTON — The Davis County Commission is gathering ammunition to fight off moves by a citizens group to condemn the formation of a countywide solid waste special service district The citizens have launched a petition drive aimed at gathering signatures of county residents opposed to the district Formation of the district would allow the county to issue up to $65 million in industrial revenue bonds for construction of a controversial y plant that would serve the whole county Commissioners say they are concerned the petition drive is based on inaccurate information about the district and what it can do toward promoting good health into the year police are already faced with more traffic deaths than in all of last year Friday’s fatal accident in the 100 block 1 of Monroe raised the number of deaths to A chie asked The rest of the deaths though generally attributable to some driver error were not in the dangerous areas targeted by the traffic bureau Some were

“strange” nature of this year’s deaths Even with more manpower and stricter enforcement they say there’s nothing that could have been done to prevent many fatalities The new police program relied on a premise that strategic ticketing would lower the chance of serious accidents and in turn lower the chance of fatalities Serious injury accidents have been reduced slightly but the fatalities have occurred gen close a car door that opened or the man who suffocated when he regurgitated and was knocked unconscious when his mo- torcycle crashed Police say the only solution to these types of accidents is i higher driver (and pedestrian) awareness “People have got to be more aware of what they are doing That’s the key right now” said Lt Robert Mosher “All the enforcement in the ! world

report from Rocky Fluhart acting public works administrator indicates the city has repaved 44‘2 blocks of city road this summer That compares with just 10 blocks last year In addition the city sealed and on placed coats of 120 blocks — compared with 90 blocks in 1983 To prepare for repaving and chipping the city also planed 42'2 blocks of city street this summer (Planing is a process in which existing asphalt on a road is heated with a special machine and removed) That compares with four blocks last summer In a report to the city council last week Fluhart said the road work — which has cost the city $324437 since May — should “lessen our (maintenance) problems next spring considerably” The massive repair program has been funded through the city’s road maintenance budget and repair
