People often clear their own driveways and parking lots of snow and then push the snow out onto stnte roads or even onto the islands in the roads in the belief road crews from UDOT will remove it. However. UDOT snowplows simply push snow off the highway and often times the snow ends up back in the driveway when the trucks go by. Property owners, particularly those with parking lots such as apartment complexes and shopping centers, should find a place on their own property to push the snow. Snow removal halted in Strawberry area State and Federal agencies associated with recreation programs near Strawberry Reservoir are airtailing snow removal for the remainder of the 1987 winter season. Carl Craner. maintenance engineer for the Utah Department of Transportation, district six, savs funding for winter maintenance has been cut and roadside parking areas along US Highway 10 will not be cleared of snow. Craner' says only the parking areas adjacent to . the junction leading to the reservoir's west side will be plowed. Parking along the highway is unsafe and not permitted, he said.

U.S. Forest Service lands in he area are open to the public if users can find a legal place to park and leave their vehicles. Funds for plowing trailhead parking lots in some sectors of (he stale have been provided by snowmobile registration fees. However, funds fell far short of statewide needs. Court land Nelson, central region supervisor for the Utah Division of Parks and Recreation, said Strawberry Valley is not a high priority area. The limited number of snowmobilers using l.he area does not warrant the use of restricted funds for . I removal there.

End Tables Special spaces for handicapped parking are identified in most pnrking lots. Utah State taw (41 149.9) enumerates the disabled person parking privilege. To be legally parking in one of these special spaces the vehicle must have a handicapped license plate or identified with a handicapped slicker or card in the window. Gurr also mentioned that vehicles should be removed from the city streets when snow removal is necessary. Tickets and possible towing of vehicles is possible if they are not moved. "We have been lucky so far this year," Gurr said, "we haven't had to have much snow removal activity but it is coming soon and residents will be asked for their help in keeping their vehicles off the street then."
