DAT: By JANA DEARDCN conwponoem SYRACUSE - Nearly 50 residents showed up at the city council meeting this week, erroneously believing there was going to be a public hearing on the possible location of the Western Transportation Corridor. Several farmers came to voice concern after learning the city council favored the western route four to one. I'm hurt theres been no discussion with landowners on the west side, said Charlie Black, who has fanned his land for 35 years. "We feel this has been pushed through as fast as possible. The subject was open for discussion during the public comment portion of the meeting. Long-tim- e resident George Hamblin urged the council to vote for all members of the community and think about the cost to taxpayers of routing the rojd west around the city. Syracuse City officials have requested that the Wasatch Front Regional Council Steering Committee plan the highways route west on Gentile Street, to 4000 West, before going north into Weber County. This path would cut an asphalt swath through prime west Davis County farmland. The Syracuse proposal runs contrary to the wishes of West Point City officials, who want the highway to follow Bluff Road, has been discussed for years as part of the proposed West Davis Highway, also called the Western Transportation Corridor or Legacy Highway. Glen Wade, West' Point councilman, offered a hand of friendship to the city. He promised to allow Syracuse to use his property adjacent to the Bluff Road as a landscaped buffer area if the road goes there.

In defense of her vote Volk said the last thing council members heard was that a might also be requested for a railroad along the corridor. "I think to be fair to the community we should take another look at this, said Gary Mecham. the one council member who voted against the western route. "Our vote influences what they do."

"Despite the fact it's smaller West than the Wasatch fault,-thValley fault zone is still a real serious earthquake threat to the Salt Lake Valley, geologist Jeffrey Keaton said Wednesday. Theres lots of growth going on. Were increasing the number of facilities at risk of damage and the number of people at risk of injury and death, he said. He was quoted in a copyright story in The Salt Lake Tribune. high- to 6.7 ly active, a magnitude-6.- 5 quake may be due or overdue, and odds are greater than 20 per- cent it would happen within 50 years, said Keaton. If the fault zone has returned to its old, lower rate of seismicity, a disastrous quake might be unlikely for centuries or millennia, he said. . He speculated such a quake could kill hundreds of people. Keaton, who left Salt Lake City last year, is a geologist at AGRA Earth & Environmental Inc. consultants in Sedona, Ariz. During the 1 980s, he studied the West Valley fault zone, which includes the Granger fault, the Taylorsville fault and an un- named fault east of Salt Lake City International Airport. Keaton outlined the findings Wednesday in Honolulu during the Seismological Society of America's annual meeting. "We take this (West Valley fault zone) as a serious threat similar to the Wasatch fault," said geologist Gary Christenson of the Utah Geological Survey. "It may not generate earthquakes as large or as often, but certainly it could generate a destructive earthquake at any time. Keaton said it still isnt known if the West Valley fault zone generates strong quakes on its own, or if it sometimes or always breaks at the same time the Wasatch fault produces a strong quake. Keaton said that during the past 140,000 years, the ground east of the West Valley fault zone ... ' dropped 57 to 62 feet relative to ground west of the fault zone -movement that would have been produced by 1 1 to 3 quakes of to 6.7. They found magnitude-6.- 5 six or seven of those quakes happened during the past 12,000 years. 1 That means the fault zone generated powerful quakes an average of every 20,000 years until 12,000 years ago, then produced a powerful jolt an average of every 1,700 to 2,000 years, Keaton said. early season promo.
