If so, is it ) transportation to Salt Lake City they want or city-to-city service between American Fork, Pleasant Grove and 1 Lehi? t These and other questions pertaining per-taining to the possibilities of putting in bus service to the local tri-city ! area will be part of the hearing 1 scheduled in American Fork Thursday, Oct. 9, at 7 p.m. in the s Senior Citizens building. Representatives of UTA will be 1 there as well as city officials from ' five cities that could be affected; 5 Alpine, Highland, American Fork, Lehi and Pleasant Grove. d Mayor R. Kent Evans of American ' Fork says the results on a feasibility P study for bus , service will be ! released and discussed at ' the hearing. "Yes, that report will be aired. There will be an attempt to find out what the level of interest is, talk about the pros and cons, the level of service wanted," explained Evans. "The study indicated an interest in putting stops between Salt Lake and Provo for the five-city area so north end citizens could have access to the transportation there." Mayor Evans said although the possibility of city to city service will be discussed, he did not think that was a viable possibility. "At least, the study did not indicate in-dicate that strongly," he said. If the hearing draws enough people who want the bus service and city officials in each of the five cities decide they want the service in their areas, a public, vote would be required.1 'T-.;. , |
