Show Rape 4 - THE HERALD. Provo. Utah. Wednesday, Julv 30. 1986 Going ahead with Prove Canyon sparks criticism of politicians ,1 I Commission have spoken out against the road and what it would By LISA MOTE Herald Staff Writer decision to go ahead with the second phase of the Provo Caryon Road expansion sparked some criticism and praise for Utah County government leaders by a Citizens for a Safe Community spokesman. On Monday, Gov. Norm Bangert-e- r gave Utah Department of Transto build the portation the A million federally funded project, saying the improvemens are needed to handle increasing traffic in the canyon. $17 Dr. David B. Magleby of the citizens group criticized Provo Mayor Joseph Jenkins for his part Brian Tregaskis Photo Magelby criticizes Provo Mayor Joseph Jenkins. in the decision while complimenting the Utah County Commission and Provo City School Board. "We are especially disappointed in Provo Mayor Joseph Jenkins," he said. "He has repeatedly stated that he is 'opposed to the four-lan- e road proposal,' that he thought the 'four-lan- e road created more prob--. lems than it solved,'" and if the Provo and Orem city councils oproad he would posed the four-lan- e talk to the governor. "Unfortunately, Mayor Jenkins, 'ike many of our local politicians, did not see fit to act on his convictions or exert political leadership," Magleby said. "In contrast, the Provo City School Board and the Utah County do to the health and safety of local residents, especially school chil- dren." Jenkins, however, denied he or the Provo City Council had ever e highway. opposed the "We said we are concerned about the safety conditions of the profour-lan- posed four-lan- e road. "I think the safety issues have and will be addressed," he said. Jenkins said he told the governor three main safety issues should be addressed before the road is built: d The road should include a turnout at Canyon Glen going up the canyon and at Bridal Veil Falls going down. Overweight trucks should be banned from the canyon road. Signs and patrols should be increased to make sure the speed limits are obeyed. The governor indicated tfiose issues would be addressed," Jenkins said. left-han- Magleby, however, said the road as planned will still be unsafe. "Two four-inc- h wide yellow stripes painted on the road is all that stands to keep oncoming traffic from colliding with one another." Magleby said the undivided four-lan- e road will be more dangerous than a two-lan- e road because it will encourage people to drive "What we'll have up there is the new Nephi death strip," he said, referring to a dangerous stretch of temporary Interstate 15 south of Provo. Skip Anderson, District 6 supervisor for UDOT, said the proposed road, which will be advertised for bid Saturday, will be two lanes with continuous passing lanes for four miles beginning where construction ended at the mouth of the canyon and continuing to Frasier Park. divided Although a four-lan- e highway would be a safer option, he said, the plan is a good compromise. "It will be considerably safer than what's there now." Anderson is concerned, however, that many years down the road somebody will have to redo the road. "The safest road would be a four-lan- e divided highway with some kind of separation in the middle." Barring delays, construction of the new road will begin this fall and should be finished by fall of 1988 or 1989, he said. Magleby and his group, however, hope to halt construction on the proposed road by filing a lawsuit against the Federal Highway Administration in U.S. District Court in Salt Lake within the next 10 days. He said he hopes the judge will grant a temporary injunction to stop construction. "The UDOT four-lan- e express violates the Federal Aid to Highways Act and the Environmental Protection Act," Magleby said. The new road should be built in accordance with a 1977 Environ"a mental Impact Statement two-lan- e road with only periodic passing lanes," he said. will include the Provo School District and several individuals and homeowner, organizations that own property in the canyon, Magleby said. In May, the Provo School District Board of Education unanimously approved a resolution opposing UDOT's plan to build a four-lan- e highway along a four-mil- e stretch of the canyon road. The school district contends the improvements would attract truck traffic that now uses Parleys Canyon to Provo Canyon. On leaving the canyon, the trucks would use 800 North in Orem and University Avenue in Provo, two main roads with schools nearby. Anderson said he is "really disappointed that they're going to file a lawsuit. They're going to delay badly needed improvements to that road. We've talked about building this road since right after World War II. It's necessary that we move ahead with the project." UDOT contends that traffic already is reaching 1990 projections in the canyon with nearly 10,000 vehicles on the road daily. way Obituaries Ray Aitken Mary Rich - Rcty 'Ellsworth Aitken, 60, of Spanish Fork, died 'Monday, July 28, 1986 at Utah Valey Regional Medical Center.
