Show Thursday, April 15,1993 The Park Record D Section A News from the West and the rest SmnnmimnM to SunmrnuMti Maintenance site protest continues A Forest Service regional official in Ogden, Utah, has rejected an appeal by a group of Jackson Hole residents who protested a decision to turn big game winter range into a highway maintenance yard. But five residents who live near the Wyoming Transportation Department's proposed maintenance yard have taken their appeal to another level. They are seeking a review by U.S. Department of Agriculture officials in Washington, D.C. . "These finite areas are so important to wildlife that they warrant the protection granted them by the Bridger-Teton Land and Resources Management Plan," which classifies the land as winter range, the new appeal states. The protesters ask that no action be allowed "until such time as an acceptable option is explored and approved by those concerned." Residents protested the decision by forest supervisor Brian Stout to permit development of about 10 acres south of Jackson near the Lower Valley Power & Light yard for a highway maintenance site. Stout approved the site for development after an analysis said no significant harm would occur. Robert C. Joslin in Ogden upheld Stout's decision. But the group opposed to the plan is appealing Joslin's ruling, saying their action "is a necessary step to litigation." The group says their property values would be hurt by development next door which would cause them, and wildlife, to move. mDtmwm Ketchum sidewalk funding up in the air Merchants in Ketchum's downtown business core agree that the city's commercial center is in urgent need of sidewalks. How they should be funded is another question. This became apparent at a recent meeting of merchants, Mayor Dan Hamilton, City Council Member Guy Coles and the city administrator. The gathering at city hall seemed to raise more questions than answers. The crowded meeting was spent discussing various ways to fund construction of sidewalks to plug in existing gaps. Sidewalk construction in Ketchum has been piecemeal over the years. Sidewalks are proposed for blocks and partial blocks around the city, including in front of the Kneadery restaurant In an effort to get the construction underway this summer, the city council is trying to find agreement on the best funding mechanism for the sidewalks. Ketchum has three options for funding the construction: create a local improvement district, adopt a city ordinance identifying where sidewalks are needed, or create a business improvement district. ( j..; y.i tr ah Road kill on 1-70 worst ever this year It's probably been the worst winter ever for road kill along Interstate 70 near Eagle. So says Division of Wildlife officer Bill Heicher of Eagle, and many motorists who have driven 1-70 this winter. They attest to the carcasses that strew the road right-of-way west of Wolcott. Another hot spot was between Dotsero and Glenwood Canyon. Although some people are repulsed by the sight of dead deer, that remains the single best method of slowing down drivers. Signs certainly don't do the trick. Heavy snows brought the deer herds down into the valley early in the winter. Although eight-foot-high fences line 1-70 on the north side for many miles, in theory blocking movement onto the high-stakes fats lanes of highway, the theory is riddled with holes. Literally. Heicher says the fence gets damaged by motorists, by rock slides, and by people who cut holes to get through. "It doesn't take much of a hole for a deer to get through," he says. "A six inch hole is enough." (TO Monday, April 19 Treasure Mountain Middle School 3-8 p.m. rBiooD n ) U t y AK AJSf A 1 i,JM" "! ind MARKET & CATERING mam m Hot and cold ready-meals.
