Show Simpson Ave. Scheduled In Road Projects The Simpson Ave. link from Highland Dr. to 9th East Street has been included in a $352,817 Salt Lake City Class C road program. The Sugar House artery headed a list of 21 projects programmed by the city from its share of state motor vehicle registration fees. The city earmarked $42,000 from the program funds for the Simpson Simp-son Ave. project. The distance of the new roadway is approximately 552 yards, city officials said. Sugar House businessmen have long sought the new roadway to ease traffic congestion on 21st South and Highland Dr. and to provide motorists in the area more maneuverability. Three other projects in the southeast area are also included in the newly-adopted schedule. Construction and surfacing of a new roadway on 17th South from 17th East to Wasatch Dr. is planned. plan-ned. It will cost $34,786. Grading, graveling and surfacing is scheduled on 21st East from 13th to 21st South at a cost of $18,763, and on 17th East from 21st South to Parleys Canyon Road at a cost of $39,327. |
