No inplan calls for a dication has been given on whether it will be affiliated with a major chain. If the zone change receives final approval from the City Council next month, the plan will go back to the Planning Commission for the conditional use phase, at which time the details of the proposed motel will be discussed. In other matters, the commission reached decisions affecting property at the following locations 1 P C-- it - 4485 So. 2900 West, The commission tabled a request for a -- 67-l- planned unit development at this adPUD at 3100 W. dress and a 58-lWestcove Dr. because information required by ordinance had yet to be the developer, submitted by Midwest Realty. The two proposed developments were linked together because approval of the first, Phase III, is dependent on the extension and dedication of a private road in the second, Westcove PUD.

The extension of Westcove Drive would provide Roxborough with a second access point. - 3926 Benview (4535 South), Glen Orvin received conditional use apon a proval for three s of an acre in parcel size.

Redwood Road Traffic Faces Congestion WEST VALLEY. Traffic movement on Redwood Road, already affected by construction between 3500 and 4380 South, will be slowed at another point next month with the initiation of a project north of 3100 South. The project, aimed at leveling pavement on Redwood Road between 3100 and 1700 South, will cause moderate to major interference in traffic flow until its completion about June 1, according to Shirley information .

On Redwood Road between 3500 and 4380 South, work is expected to continue through late fall on a project to widen the street from two to four lanes. Traffic has snarled considerably in the area since workers began installing the drainage sytem and moving utility lines last month. The UDOT spokesman warned the situation would remain much the same until construction is ' completed. There really isnt much we can do about it except advise the motorists of the situation, Iverson noted. Constructed first will be the two outside traffic lanes, onto which traffic will be switched while the middle two lanes are completed, Iverson explained. She said two traffic lanes will be kept open for the projects duration, although the lanes will be narrowed considerably. While construction on Redwood Road can be a headache for motorists, it is a far more serious situation for owners of businesses in the affected area. Iverson said shes received several calls from merchants concerned about lost business, but that again, there is not much UDOT can do. Anytime there is construction there is going to be a definite impact on business, she said, adding that UDOT is doing all it can by maintaining at least one access at all times for each business. Merchants who call in with complaints are referred to UDOTs project engineer with whom they may discuss possible solutions to their problems. - City All 29, 1984 By Typewriter Sold!

City officials here are proposing to set up a summer youth work program that would be similar to the Depression-er- a Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC). City Manager John Newman said under West Valleys CCC program (City Conservation Corps) young workers would be paid the equivalent per hour for maintaining city parks, retention ponds and floodways. A portion of the wages would be given to the workers each payday, while the balance would be put toward tuition at Utah Technical College. Newman said Utech had expressed some interest when contacted about the program, but that details had not yet been worked out. Newman said he got the idea for the CCC program from reading about a similar program that was proposed in New York City last year. He said he called New York to get more information about the pro of $3.35 stretch of widening activity, motorists will be countering crews working between 1700 and 3100 South during the spring. At the same time, crews will be on 3500 South between 4000 and 5600 West. MANY MONTHS . . .

There was no southbound traffic, so he used that opportunity to move to the raised median strip at the middle of the 84111 XTY UTAH gram, but when he found officials there had discarded the plan, West Valley began developing its own. The program would be funded with the $125,000 already budgeted for park maintenance and flood control in fiscal 1984-8the City Its money Manager explained. we'd have had to use to hire a contractor to do the work so we decided to give the youth of our city a chance to earn it. There are a lot of positive reasons for proposing this program, Newman continued. Our city parks and retention ponds would be maintained. We would be providing jobs for our youth. We would be investing in our youths future and we would give the youth a chance to give service back to the city. Newman said a mature adult would also have to be hired who would be responsible for supervising the youth workers. departments Peers 242 6482 - West Valley Police Head Honored WEST VALLEY. David Campbell, West Valley Citys Chief of Police, was named last week to serve as an officer for the Utah Chiefs of Police Assn. During the associations annual convention which concluded Saturday in St. George, Campbell was elected, along with Ted Peacock of Orem, Ferris Groll of Logan, Randy Johnson of American Fork and Col.

It was slow in coming. Too slow for the man, who now elected to continue without the green light. He mightve made it had not one car been well ahead of the rest. and Representative Duane Johnson of West Valley in recognition of their leadership in important issues g relating to the safety and of Utahs citizens. By the time our eyes telegraphed to our mind the message, Hes been hit! the light turned green. We scooted across the intersection, parked at the curb and vaulted from the car. Its then the little warning signals begin to run through your mind. They start by asking, What will he look like? Then they remind you that red isnt your favorite color - particularly blood red. Nevertheless, youre moving toward the form lying motionless in the street. Its at the side of the car, which had stopped swiftly. From it has emerged a visibly shaken young driver. Fortunately, leading cars in the oncoming traffic are already slowing down. Your mind continues to talk to you as you move toward the form in the street. "Arent you sorry you didnt take that EMT course? This could be that instance when your abil- -' ity in a crisis could save a life. But all you know about such techniques as rescue breathing are the instructions on a printed card in your billfold. Youve never actually tried to administer it, your mind warns in fact, you dont know whether you could. - An unconscious human being wouldnt care, but it would be most unimpressive to bystanders to have the only rescuer some guy whos reading from a slip of paper. Dont forget, your mind inthat doctors someterjects, times wont administer first aid because there have been so many malpractice lawsuits. If hes suffered a neck injury, you think, would you dare lift his head from the pavement and put a rolled-u- p coat under1 It? He could be in shock; he'll need a blanket or something warm over him. Bet that concrete is cold; its a chilly night. All this races through your mind as youre going from your parked car to the accident scene - and it isnt that far. But never underestimate the speed of thought - it travels so swiftly and one idea literally tumbles over another, racing through your mind. You dont realize it til something that triggers rapid-fir- e thinking has taken place. Then, reviewing it, you know how quickly all those reactions registered. His eyes are wide open and staring upward. Hes sprawled in a distorted position. You think, Hes dead! Then you say something so ridiculous you later cant believe you did. "Are you all right? He turns his head slightly to bring you into vision and you kneel close to him. The absurdity of your question penetrates your senses. You halfway expect him to say something like, "Oh sure, - I always take naps in the middle of the street. -- Instead, he says, Help me up. You keep him from trying to arise, knowing youve already heard someone shout, Ill call the police. His foot seems twisted at an odd angle, but hes conscious and conversant, which means most of your fears were groundless. Suddenly both police and paramedics are surrounding you. They put him in an ambulance and drive away. You learn later hes suffered only a broken ankle as he fell away from the cars fender rather than under its wheels. But you calculate as you, too, drive away that its high time you learned something about emergency medical action. This time you were as lucky as the man hit by the car his life wasnt in your incapable hands. - |
