By 1980 the confusion should be ironed out; cars should be able to flow swiftly from polr to point at high safe speeds. It all woo't work out quite that smoothly, of course, since financing, engineering, acy, and a quiring host of other problems are right-of-wa- involved. - But at least a beginning is evident In the recently published studies of consultants Wilbur Smith and Associates for the Salt Lake Area Transportation Study group prosaically known as SLATS. This four volume work recommends the construction or Improvement of 675 miles of a variety of highways In three 5 years stages. Including Interstate Highways the proposed system encompasses 88 miles of Freeway, 11 miles of expressway, 249 miles of arterial roads and 327 miles of collectors. Phase Taro 1970 to 1975 900 West from 800 South to 3300 South, widen to 4 lanes plus parking.

Expressways have partially con- -) trolled access. Arterial roads and collectors are two degrees of wide, smooth flowing, regular streets. As an example,! 7 th East is considered an arterial road by the study. There are hitches. The study admits that by 1980 even the freeway network It has recommended will become InAt that time It adequate. over somewhat predicts rs of a million population for the Salt Lake Kte three-quarte- metropolitan area. The biggest part of the proposal Is the East Valley Freeway, roughly paralleling 13th East right Into the center of town. Of the systems total cost of $125 million this freeway would use up about 356.5 million. part of the development Is for the near future, filanned work on 3900 South from Interstate 15 to Redwood Road and the connection of 4500 South and 4700 South between Interstate 15 and Red- wood Road. Money for construction will come from local, state and federal sources. Much of it, such as the planned West Valley Highway, will be paid for on a basis of 25 per cent from Salt Lake County and 75 per cent from the state, which will be reimbursed by LEGEND. the federal government. have Three committees been Involved in the development of the plan: First a cltisens transportation committee, chaired by Richard A. Van Winkle and consisting of members representing vari-oIndustries, professions and public bodies; second 6 technical committee made up of traffic and planning engineers with Salt Lake traffic engineer James W. Challls as chairman; third a coordinating committee, with representatives of several public bodies, including counties, and school municipalities boards with Osmond L. Rar-lias chairman. The study's findings are, at only recommendapresent, tions and must be approved by counties and states involved before they can be put into PHASE I n PHASE n PHASE ur (1965 -- (1970-197- 5) (1975-198- 0) 1970) As school children settle down to the three Rfe again, parents and teachers are concerned about the "fourth fever.
