 Pledge of Allegiance

Road Issues - Supervisor Doug Nielsen
Doug presented a letter from UDOT Region Three Director Tracy Conti.  The letter is in response to a request made by the commission in September 2001.  The request was for a school crossing zone at the Neola Elementary School, and a 35 MPH speed sign prior to the school crossing.  The commission also requested that the culvert on eastbound SR 121 at the Neola intersection be lengthened to accomodate large trucks.  Mr. Conti's reply is that UDOT conducted a reduce speed school zone study at the school crosswalk on SR 121 in Neola.  The study determined that because of insufficient school age pedestrians using the crosswalk, and gaps in the traffic stream with adequate time for students to cross the road a school zone is not warranted.  On these bases, the commission's request for the zone is denied.  UDOT is evaluating the need to modify the location of the speed limit change so the the school crosswalk would be within the 35 MPH zone.  Also, UDOT will review the culvert at the intersection where SR 121 makes a 90 degree turn during their regular semi-annual road inspection about May 1st.   Commissioner Stradinger asked Doug to mail a copy of the letter to Mr. Jim Bills.

Doug informed the commission that the Neola cemetery road speed signs have been repaired.

Commissioner Thayne stated he had received a request to grade the road by George Ray's residence while it is in the area.  Doug will have it done.

Doug informed the commission he has not been able to contact Mr. Rex Harrison, Horrocks Engineers regarding the MOU with the BIA.
