We're trying to get law enforcement to help with the problem." According to the Bonneville Bonnev-ille Shoreline Trail Web site, many Ogden residents were concerned about a rise in crime, including beer parties, until after the trail was in place. Interviewed In-terviewed residents expressed surprise at the fact that their concerns were unfounded. The Bonneville Shoreline Trail committee sees this trail system as a way to enhance access ac-cess to open space and provide a connection to a variety of other oth-er trails and recreational areas. The committee also views it as a way "to provide rapid deployment of fire fighting resources to the urban'foothills interface while at the same time serving as a buffer between the developed urban area and the more natural environment of the foothills," wrote Rick Reese on the Web site. Those interested in volunteering volunteer-ing their time and resources for the trail improvements may leave a message for Willey at 342-5255.
