Show WEEKLY REFLEX DA o w JOURNAL, JUNE 23, 1977 m-.i- ? Four County Roads On Short Range Improvement Plan By R09ELYN next year" due to such delays as environmental statements and problems KIRK Eiur Davis County roads are included in a short range transportation improvement plan prepared by the Technical Committee of Wasatch Front Regional Council (WFRC), with plans tving made to comment e construction on llsl ill by SPOKESMAN said that Highway 193, that carries traffic east and west from the south gate of Hill Field, is the first road-buildin- the county. Other roads included in the plan are two roads in Fount South in combination with Orchard Drive and Davis Boulevard Also scheduled for widening is State Road 212 which runs north from Layton to the south gate of Hill Field Lew Wangsgard, official for the Ogden Area Technical Advisory Committee, said the Utah speaking optimistically, Department of Transportation (UDOT) could call for bids on Highway 193 as early as July and could begin construction as project in early as August DIE PROJECT to widen and provide a new road at 2600 South from U.S. 89-9- 1 to Orchaid Drive in Bountiful is scheduled to move into the first phase of construction m 1978 A total of $23, 000 in funds has been approved by the WFRC and is allixated for 1978. The total cost of the 2600 South Improvement, planned to coincide with the widening of Orchard Drive from 500 South to 2600, is estimated to cost a total of $1,100,000, according to the plan piescnted by Mike Allegra, transportation planning engineer for the Transportation Committee of WRFC (Trans Com). Aft ORDING to the Trans Com plan, no additional money will be allocated for the completion of the project until 1981 when plans call for an additional $1,000,000 to be phased into the project. The Davis Boulevard Construction in eastern Bountiful, to be built at the cost of $1,100,000 is scheduled to receive $50,000 in federal funding in 1981. THE TECHNICAL Committee has es- timated Hill Field Road costs at $2,000,000. They estimate that $900,000 will be funded for the project in 1978, with an additional $900,000 phased in 1979. Mr. Allegra cautioned that the committee will have to sift out projects that wont go with design. He said at this point there is little controversy from any of the technical committees to the roads marked by the plan for construction. The proposed short range transportation plan must next go to the Councils of Government (COGS) and then be approved by the WFRC. IN OTHER business the Trans Com Committee approved the long range transportation plan which they had agreed to postpone for one month due to objections last month from Jack Schoenals, who represented the Salt Lake City Northeast Area Community Council. Salt Lake Commissioner Jess Agraz, a member of Trans Com, reported that during that month Jerry Blair, traffic engineer from Salt Lake City had met with the eight neighborhood councils who had identified a number of transportation problems. COMMISSIONER Agraz said, the meetings with the neighborhood councils had satisfied citizens that Trans Com will address more specific problems later when the roads are nearer to the construction stage. Mick Crandall, WFRC technical committee, said Bountiful is still concerned over the delegation of Bountiful Boulevard to collector road status. Bountiful officials had exerted pressure for that road to go around Ensign Peak and into the high avenues in Salt Lake City. 1 TRANS COM is continuing to work with Bountiful City to determine how traffic from east collector roads, Davis CLEARFIELDS LITTLE ROYALTY Boulevard and Bountiful Boulevard, will be brought west in a corridor to meet the HE ALSO reported free transportation hours for the elderly and handicapped have been expanded from 9a.m. to 4 p.m. six days a week. They may ride free all day on Sundays and holidays. Last month Trans Com determined that more time is needed to explore ways for social service agencies and UTA to solve transportation problems for this segment of society.
