SAFE CROSSING: Syracuse officers unravel traffic Accidents at dangerous intersection disappear with help from police By LQRCTTA PARK Standard Enamner correspondent SYRACUSE - DARE OfTi-cLance Call took the dare and waved cars through the intersection at 1700 South and 2000 West in Syracuse early one morncr ing. He and other fellow officers in Syracuse are taking turns directing traffic at this intersection from 7:30 a.m. to 9 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. to 4 p.m. daily, said Syracuse Police Chief Brian N. Wallace. The officers began directing traffic three weeks ago after goasking citizens ing door-to-dowhat their main complaints were, Wallace said. or The number-on- e complaint was the difficulty of crossing that intersection in the mornings and afternoons, he said. It is even worse when the weather is bad because most parents drive their children to school instead of letting them walk, he said. The exact date of installing signals at that intersection is still undetermined, said Dave Kcnni-soa region traffic engineer for the Utah Department of Transportation. n, There are 52 signals in the region that need to be built, he said. It's like asking when the , Middle East conflict will be solved. No one knows, Kenni-so- n added. ment decided to use man power to help motorists cross the intersection safely until a traffic signal is installed. We knew it was a problem. We could look out our window and see cars backed up clear down the street." Wallace said. The police station is just south of the intersection on 2000 West. Since the program began there have been no accidents at that corner, he said, although there are more accidents at that intersection than at any other intersection in the city. six' k it was installed Wallace said the city has letters ceived several thank-yo- u and phone calls from residents about the policemen at the intersection. - The average motorist heading grade cemers and add tuber re- , '"W- - V" Back pain ihouldn'l cut into your ipnn projects.

By JaNAE FRANCIS Standard-Examin- correspondent SUNSET - Moments after hearing a Davis School District representative appeal to them to support a bond and a leeway for more money in a bond election May 6, officials here discussed charging the district more for its use of sections of parks owned by the city. Officials plan to ask the school district in May for $5,000 per year for watering. Public works director Mickey Hennessee said that after years of suspecting there was unequitable treatment over a park agreement between Sunset and the district, employees have located the original document. The city now has a means of negotiation, he said. The agreement dates back to 1967, Hennessee said. It states that well provide free water for mowing. They dont provide all the mowing. The Parking From 1 would agree with him in wanting to keep as much parking as possible. Councilman Steve Whitesides said one parking space could be used, but Cook said one is not enough for a loading zone. Councilman Reed Nelson suggested the council get some information from the police department. The theater does 80 percent of its business on Friday and Saturday, according to Call. Attendance is higher when there are matinees on Saturday and on days students are not in school. The parking restriction would not affect those times. Call said there would continue to be a parking problem during matinees, and restricting the three parking spaces from the comer would take all the parking from the yogurt shop. The council decided to get more data from the police department before making a decision. agreement refers to use of parks near Doxey Elementary and Sunset Junior High. Hennessee said the agreement transpired after city officials purchased half of each of the two parks. City workers have kept their end of the bargain by watering the grass, said Hennessee. However, he said they continually have had to provide more and more mowing services to prepare the parks for recreational events. Mayor Carol Bellmon said, Thats part of the problem. They dont mow when its convenient for ' us. The city plans to continue taking care of baseball diamonds and completing detail work where small mowers are required, according to Hennessee. He discussed purchasing the citys own large mowers to allow employees to do all the needed mowing. Both entities will continue using both halves of the park. im- costing about Under the first option, the owner of a $ 00,000 home would ray $95 2 more a sear in taxes, or $7 36 ntore if the middle-schopropoal ts ap 1 proved.
