Bear Lake Corridor Study Tuesday February 9

Reprinted from the Herald Journal

A public meeting to get further input about future transportation needs on State Route 30 and U.S. Highway 89 near Bear Lake will be held from 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 9, at the Garden City Town Center Lakeview Conference Room, 69 N. Paradise Parkway, Building B.

This is the second open house for the Bear Lake Corridor Study, which will evaluate short- and long-term needs of the two roads in and around Garden City from the Idaho state line to Rendezvous Beach. The study is being performed by the Utah Department of Transportation.

According to a UDOT press release, the meeting will: provide an overview of outreach feedback to date; introduce preliminary concepts of short-term and long-term solutions; and hear the concerns of local residents, business people and government representatives.

Rod Terry, UDOT project manager for the study, said public participation and comment is vital to the project's success. A web map survey has been developed to that end. Comments can be provided directly to the web map by selecting a "pin" and adding it to the map. It can be found online at http://gis.fehrandpeers.com/bearlakesurvey.
