Council member Lindsey Bayless said she thought weeds in the crushed gravel would be a bigger problem. Especially with all the horse droppings to fertilize them, someone quipped. The commission also discussed dis-cussed how pathways and trails would fit within both 66 and 50 foot right-of-ways for roads. Planning director Kevin Smith said that a recurring complaint is speeding on residential streets, the narrower nar-rower the road, the less speeding. "Widening the road doesn't do anything for you for safety." Commissioner Jim Peters had some concern, though, that if the road was too narrow people will park on the sidewalk. He commended com-mended streets in Provo that have a boulevard with trees between the sidewalk and the road. The commission also discussed dis-cussed who would maintain the crushed gravel and get the weeds out. Smith said that property owners are responsible for planter strips, but a trail isn't quite the same, and eventually, in about 10 years, the city will want a trail master who can just go along the trail and maintain main-tain it. Further discussion was continued until another meeting. nr.iUliTt'(K!i ill er,- for irV hatiC ireen ito i Oi; ttir hat t .v trie tr-ie feat! fe-at! e her-iat her-iat h- Lindon City There will be a Undon City planning plan-ning commission meeting beginning at 7 p.m. at the Undon City Center, 100 N.

' f-- Photo by Linda Butler A group of children and youth enjoy a game of volleyball at Nunn's Park. Fishing, camping, volleyball all found at Nunn's Park By Linda Butler The nearby canyons are usually cool and pleasant in the summertime. Nunn's Park can bef a wonderful quick get-away, whether it's for a couple hours or a couple cou-ple days. A three-mile drive up Provo Canyon, Nunn's park is a short drive and easy to access. Its little known secret is that it has a campground in addition to picnic facilities. Spaces in the 12-site campground camp-ground are available on a first-come-first-served basis (no reservations) for a ' nightly fee. There are flush toilets, drinking drink-ing water, and barbecue pits. Nunn's Park also has two large group sites, one with a pavilion. These can be reserved for family and other group gatherings. There is plenty to do at Nunn's Park. Besides picnicking and camping, there are large grassy areas, horseshoe pits, and sand volleyball. The Provo River runs to the west of Nunn's Park, fishing and wading are fun river activities.. The Provo River Parkway runs through Nunn's Park. The paved Parkway is a popular place to walk, inline in-line skate and bicycle. The history of Nunn's Park is unique. It is th'e site of one of the first generators in the country capable of transmission of high voltage alternating current. Although there is little remaining of the original station, parts of the dam and power station can be seen at Nunn's Park. Built in 1897 by Lucien L. Nunn, the 16-foot high dam provided power for the station's turbine which produced 750 kilowatts of power to run a gold mine and mill at Mercur, some 32 miles away. This was the world's longest power line at that time. In addition to the generator, Nunn's site included a bunkhouse-cookhouse and several small living quarters. None of these outbuildings remain. The Nunn's plant generated electricity electrici-ty for the Mercur mine operations for over six years. It was abandoned in 1904 when it was replaced by the larger, more powerful Olmsted plant. The Olmsted is located at the mouth of Provo Canyon and is still in use today. The abandoned power plant burned during the 1980s and today only its foundation foun-dation remains. Parts of the dam pillars can be seen in the Provo river behind the power plant foundation. The site of the Nunn's generating plant has been placed on the Utah State Register of Historic Sites. Nunn's Park is open from 8 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. seven days a week. For information infor-mation or to make reservations, contact Leila at Utah County Parks, 370-8640.
