Of course, expansion will bring pf new pavement. But trans-- . portation officials also are counting plenty on a few high-tec- h gadgets. On their wish list are 15 video cameras to eye traffic for accidents mesand breakdowns, fiber-opti- c sage signs and radio systems to alert motorists of potential trouble, and traffic signals on freeway that would meter the number of ve- hicles. Taxiing Utah into the next centuis their goal. Finding the money to do it is quite another matter. In all, highway improvements are expected to cost $3.5 billion and take 10 years to complete. A portion of the money - about $50 million - would pay for technology as part of a Advanced Traffic Management Sysry' rt tem. David Eixenberger, Utah partment of De- Transportation (UDOT) maintenance operations engineer, believes the net effect of working smarter instead of working harder will be less congestion along Utah's highways and byways. In the long run, that could mean thousands of dollars in savings to businesses that pay drivers -which, Eixenberger estimates, lose about $60,000 an hour in traffic jams. But before the state saves any money, it first will have to spend some. UDOT officials are depending on state contributions to a Centennial Highway Fund, which got its first installment this year when Utah legislators committed $110 million to highway reconstruction and renovation. Lawmakers also have pledged to set aside at least $75 million more each year toward the fund. "There was a strong consensus (in the Legislature) that the Centennial Highway Fund needs to continue to be funded, said Thomas R. Warne, executive director for UDOT. But next year will be the challenge. How do you put that will-in- to reality? Some money for technology included under the management system has come in the form of a $2 million federal grant, but UDOT may need to seek more federal dol The Bountiful Davis Art Center will offer an array of classes for spring quarter, taught fry some of Utahs premier artists.

She received a bachelor's degree from Brigham Young University and taught at Kaysville Junior High for three years. Hartvigsen is a n local artist whose work has been exhibited in many area galwell-know- leries. Forsberg works in watercolor, acrylic and oil. She paints landscapes, still lifes and abstracts. She attended the University of Utah and has studied art professionally. She has taught for many years in her own studio as well as at the BDAC and BYU. Her class is for all skill levels, and deals with color and composition while developing individual direction. At her home studio, Kulmer will conduct a drawing workshop with critiques on perspective, form and design. She studied at Weber State University, The San Francisco projects the boost Other states using similar technology can attest to its advantages. In Seattle, for instance, interstate speeds increased by 20 percent and travel time was cut in half, according to a January report by the U.S. Department of Transportation. In St. Paul, Minn., motorists drive 35 percent faster during rush hour; authorities report 25 fewer transportation systems, and were working toward that end. David Kinnecom, UDOT traffic management engineer, said additional money for the high-tec- h system also could come from federal congestion management and air quality funds, local funding and a small portion of the $110 million appropriated this session by the Legislature. Transportation officials would like most of the traffic management system patterned after similar projects in Washington, California, Arizona and Colorado - to be in place by 1998. That way they can use it to help divert traffic during renovation and prepare for the 2002 Games. UDOT already has started assisting motorists with a message sign that relays road conditions at the mouth of Little Cotton11 cellu wood Canyon, and a - te number for emergency roadside assistance.

While the technology would first be applied to along the Wasatch Front, UDOTs Kinnecom anticipates it eventually could be used along Interstates 80 and 215.
