Four variable message signs will be installed at key locations on State Roads 224 and 248 to allow both city and Utah Department of Transportation staff to provide traveler information remotely and in real-time.

The permanent VMS boards will also blend into their surroundings better than the mobile units currently in use. “The new boards are actually smaller and will be encased in wooden frames that complement the city’s other wayfinding elements,” said Knotts.

San Juan County Commissioner Phil Lyman led the 2014 ride down Recapture Canyon and was found guilty in December of trespassing and conspiracy. Lyman has appealed his sentence and is acting as his own attorney. Prosecutors filed a brief Friday saying the district court’s ruling was appropriate. Lyman told The Salt Lake Tribune Saturday he plans to respond to the brief within 30 days. He says the ride was planned as a legal event on an open section of the canyon, while prosecutors say the canyon was closed to motor vehicles to protect ruins that are nearly 2,000 years old.
