[BBTC Ride_calendar] Redwood Road Construction
Hi All, If you received this e-mail then you received Stan Swallow's post about the Redwood Road project. I went to http://www.udot.utah.gov/sr-68south<http://www.udot.utah.gov/sr-68south> to give my comments (support for adding bike lanes to the project) and found that the deadline for comments is the 15th. We only received the post on the 13th. This corridor (at least in the Saratoga Springs area) should be near and dear to BBTC members hearts. With proper planning in the future this corridor could have bike lanes in every phase of expansion. This means having the ULCER circumnavigate the lake will be possible again and hopefully ensured in the future. Bike lanes from Camp Williams to Saratoga Springs would make Redwood Road safer to include in rides making more areas accessible for club rides. Fairfield, Cedar Fort that hardly anyone goes to anymore; and new places like Eagle Mountain could be included. I know it's short notice but please take a minute to voice your comments at the above site if at all possible. Add yourself to their mailing list so you can know about these things in a more timely manner in the future. There are something on the order of 500 members of BBTC. We could be a fairly loud voice if we all talk at the same time. UDOT will continue to take comments throughout the planning process (for other phases). If they here from us enough maybe they'll come to us when they want to know what cyclists really need in road construction. We're taxpaying, voting, citizens after all. O.K. my time on the soapbox is over. Thanks for listening (reading), but I thought the original e-mail could get passed over without much thought. Eric Unck
