GARDEN CITY, Utah. May 13, 2018. Mayor Mike Leonhart, Garden City, was elated to hear that Garden City and the Marina were going to get over $8 million in improvements. He said that it was through the efforts of many people that this happened.
In an article by Lee Davidson, Salt Lake Tribune, Davidson reports that "after a fierce statewide battle for $100 million that the Legislature pegged to reduce traffic congestion at crowded recreational areas, Little and Big Cottonwood canyons won the lion’s share of the jackpot Friday.
The Utah Transportation Commission voted to give them $66 million of the total, or $2 of every $3 available.
Other smaller winners were Zion National Park, $15 million; Moab, $10 million; and Bear Lake, $8.3 million.
The $8.3 million the commission approved for Bear Lake will go to four projects.
They include $5 million to relocate the marina entrance, as part of a marina expansion project; $1 million to widen State Road 30 at the lake; $700,000 to improve Logan Road and Bear Lake Boulevard; and $1.6 million to extend the Buttercup Lane bypass road.
The Bear Lake Marina is a popular and busy place during the summer months. Marshall said it will also make a variety of signal and intersection improvements.
Bear Lake sometimes gets overloaded with traffic, Marshall said. “There are weekends you would think you are in Little Cottonwood Canyon.”
