Alternatives for 1-15 UDOT have announced five alternatives al-ternatives describing what the future fu-ture of transportation between Utah County and Salt Lake County Coun-ty may look like. After evaluating public input, transportation performance per-formance measures and other criteria, cri-teria, UDOT and its partners identified iden-tified five transportation alternatives alterna-tives to be studied in more detail in the 1-15 Corridor between San-taquin San-taquin and downtown Salt Lake City as part of the 1-15 Corridor Environmental Impact Statement, Utah County - Salt Lake County Over the next several months, the 1-15 "Bubble Bus," a Utah Transit Tran-sit Authority (UTA) bus wrapped in bright green that travels on Route 811 in Utah County, will invite in-vite residents to share their opinions opin-ions on the 1-15 Corridor EIS alternatives. alter-natives. The bus will continue to travel through the study area to remind people to view the five alternatives al-ternatives and provide feedback to the 1-15 Corridor EIS team "The release of five possible transportation solutions marks an important milestone in the project and a key time for public feedback," feed-back," said Merrell Jolley, UDOT project manager.

This EIS encompasses approxi- mately 65 miles of the 1-15 Corridor. Corri-dor. Transit alternatives, including includ-ing Commuter Rail Transit (CRT) and Bus Rapid Transit (BRT), are being studied for the area between be-tween Provo and downtown Salt Lake City. Roadway options are being analyzed between San-taquin San-taquin in Utah County and 10600 South in Salt Lake County. Following are highlights of the alternatives: a. NO-BUILD - The No-Build Alternative Al-ternative is required to be carried forward in an EIS for purposes of comparing other alternatives as well as providing a decision-making option if the impacts of the "build" alternatives are too excessive exces-sive compared to the benefits. The No-Build Alternative assumes planned and programmed transportation trans-portation improvements in the 1-15 Corridor study area. This includes improvements such as roadway widening on other oth-er facilities and new park-and-ride lots. b. TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS SYS-TEMS MANAGEMENT (TSM) -The Transportation Systems Management Alternative, known as TSM, examines lower-cost improvements im-provements that could meet transportation trans-portation needs. The TSM Alternative includes all the assumed improvements in the No-Build Alternative plus additional addi-tional improvements such as enhanced en-hanced bus service, additional park-and-ride facilities, rideshare promotion, variable message signs, transit signal priority and ramp metering. The TSM Alternative Alter-native is a required baseline for comparing transit alternatives and its elements are included in each build alternative. c. 1-15 WIDENING & RECONSTRUCTION RECON-STRUCTION - This alternative includes in-cludes widening 1-15, reconstructing reconstruct-ing interchanges and bridges, adding new interchanges, looking at a collector-distributor or frontage road system, promoting We're Expanding! si- I 5 L Transportation Systems Management Manage-ment (TSM) strategies like ridesharing and potentially incorporating incor-porating managed lanes concepts. Managed lanes may include adding more Carpool Lanes or High-Occupancy Toll (HOT) Lanes, which charge vehicles with only one passenger a toll to use the Carpool Lane. d. 1-15 WIDENING & RECONSTRUCTION RECON-STRUCTION COMMUTER RAIL TRANSIT (CRT) - This alternative al-ternative includes widening 1-15 as described in the 1-15 Widening & Reconstruction Alternative and building Commuter Rail Transit in UTA owned right-of-way located west of 1-15 from the Salt Lake In-termodal In-termodal Center to the ProvoSpringville area. Commuter Com-muter Rail Transit is a diesel locomotive loco-motive pulling passenger cars with stops every two to five miles. Potential station locations are currently cur-rently being identified. e. 1-15 WIDENING & RECONSTRUCTION RECON-STRUCTION BUS RAPID TRANSIT (BRT) - This alternative includes widening 1-15 as described de-scribed in the 1-15 Widening & Reconstruction Re-construction Alternative and running run-ning BRT adjacent to 1-15 or in the 1-15 median. BRT is a distinctive type of bus system that functions similar to Light Rail, but without running on a track. It has Light Rail-like stations sta-tions that provide fast and efficient effi-cient boarding. BRT would run in a dedicated lane from Provo to 10600 South. North of 10600 South, BRT would run in the Car-pool Car-pool Lane to the Salt Lake Inter-modal Inter-modal Center with a connection to the 10000 South TRAX station. Like Commuter Rail, BRT would stop every two to five miles. Potential Po-tential station locations are currently cur-rently being identified. In addition to the "Bubble Bus," more than 28,000 newsletters with information about the five alternatives alterna-tives are being mailed to property owners along the 1-15 Corridor and the Utah Transit Authority right-of-way. Residents are encouraged en-couraged to share their opinions related to the five alternatives. Maps of the alternatives are avail- 15 Awesome Reps Needed NOW!

He says because this year's costumes and accessories will be more elaborate than ever before, there may be a greater occurrence occur-rence of children's eyesight being be-ing permanently damaged or harmed. Barnes suggests following these helpful Halloween tips to lessen your child's vulnerability to serious eye and physical injury: in-jury: If your child's costume includes in-cludes a mask, ensure the eye holes do not restrict his or her vision. Make sure the mask does not have any sharp edges or parts that could damage the eye. Consider using facial makeup make-up instead of masks. Knives, swords, axes or other oth-er accessories should be flexible and soft. No sharp objects. Carry a flashlight at all times. Use iron-on reflective fabric or tape strips on costumes to allow al-low cars to see your child easily. SPECIAL NOTE: U.S. Senate Passes Bill For Costume Contact Lenses Legislation passed by the United States Senate in 2005 will require the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to regulate decorative contact lenses as a medical device, de-vice, similar to corrective lenses. lens-es. The improper use of decorative decora-tive contact lenses, which are marketed and distributed directly direct-ly to consumers through various vari-ous sources, including the Internet, Inter-net, can cause permanent eye injury or potentially lead to blindness. Since 2003, the FDA has issued is-sued warnings to consumers and has acknowledged receiving receiv-ing reports of corneal ulcers associated as-sociated with wearing decorative decora-tive lenses. Only a licensed professional pro-fessional can make sure the lenses will fit your eyes properly. proper-ly.
