To Whom It May Concern:
u.s.
(
(
Highway 89 through Logan Canyon serves as a vital economic
link for the Bear Lake Valley.
The canyon is a beautiful place,
however, I feel that with good common sense and concern for the
environment, greatly needed improvements such as bridge replacement,
pavement widening and passing lanes or turn-outs can be constructed.
I also urge CH 2 M Hill to conduct public me eting s on this project
in the Bear Lake Valley.
Thank you for this opportunity to comment.
Sincere~~ ,

Unsafe driving conditions on Logan Canyon road are due to:
(1) narrow bridges, sharp curves,
narrow road and little shoulder.
(2) when long lines of cars, trucks, trailers etc. exist, there always
seem to be one or two who take chances in passing.
Not only does
this endanger lives but also causes mental stress to drivers and
passengers.
(3) narrow winding roads through the canyon makes it almost impossible to
try to avoid an accident by moving to another lane of traffic or to
the shoulder area.
Deer and cattle on the road could be more easily
avoided if there was another lane of traffic or more shoulder room.
(
(
~,
(there would be less dented fenders & broken head lights).
Also
accidents due to winter conditions (vehicle sliding etc.) would
.
be
less if another lane was available.
If one has an appointment etc. during the summer, at least one half hour
more time is needed due to slow traffic (sight seers, heavy loads, trailers,
tourists all travel at a slower speed than the posted speed limit.
Drivers
who are not familar with the road or canyon driving tend to drive much
slower and use their brakes quickly upon coming to a curve).
Many Montpelier drivers use the road to Preston vs Logan canyon road due
to the unsafe conditions listed above.
Mileage wise there is very little
difference.
I commend the Highway Department for their "being on the job"
(
during winter conditions as they do a good job in keeping the road passable.
SLC87/26
Some tourists who have stopped at the place I work do not like that road
and if you mention the beauty of the canyon, river etc. they have failed
to notice it as they were so busy with just driving the canyon road!
Beauty cannot be enjoyed under stress.
Logan Canyon Road causes stress !!!!

Mr. Allen Harrison
Bear Lake Regional Commission
Executive Director
Fish Haven, Idaho 83267
Friend Allen:
We read the articles in the News Examiner about the Logan Canyon
road.
We travel the road once or twice a week in the summer
months to take care of the 40 acres in Fish Haven and down to Ogden
to take care of our home there.
The traffic is real heavy most of the time and at times it is very
dangerous
to drive in mornings and evenings, when the sun is in
your eyes.
We would appreciate having the road widened and improved not only
for our selves but family, friends and others
who travel Highway
89.
We appreciate your interest, concern and energy in trying to get
improvements made on roads and the Bear Lake area.
As you know Highway 89 extends from Canada to Mexico and we thank
you for the effort you put forth to get improvements made.

CH2M Hill, Consulting Engineers
P. o. Box 2218
Salt Lake City, utah 84101
Re: Highway u.s. 89 - Logan Canyon Study
Dear Mr. Forsgren:
I've just read the November, 1986 Summary Fact Sheet concerning
the referenced project study. One statenent in particular causes
ne considerable alarm.
On the last page, paragraph three states, "During the tour, it
was suggested by some present that the Canyon should be treated
as a recreational corridor (a destination) rather than as a
transp::>rtation link (a conduit for traffic). Recreational use
of the corridor should be given priority over transp::>rtation use
whenever a decision involving trade-offs is to be made in the
study. "
(
(
No one disputes the recreational value of Logan Canyon. People
skiing, camping, picnicing, haul ing f irev.DOd., etc. go to the
canyon for a specific purpose. I use the canyon for these
activities myself. But to categorically give priority to
recreational use over transp::>rtation needs borders on the
absurd, in my opinion.
A native of Bear Lake County, and still owning property there, I
strongly protest the idea of recreational priority. Perhaps
residents of cache and Box Elder Counties consider the canyon a
destination rrore than a transp::>rtation link, but residents of
, other areas rrost certainly do not. I submit that rrost weekend
traffic from OJden, Salt Lake, and Provo in the sumrrertine ends
up in Bear Lake, not in Logan Canyon.
Ask the people in Bear Lake and Rich Counties and beyond, even
into Wyoming, how many stop in the canyon as opp::>sed to those who
use the route for access to Logan, OJden, or Salt Lake. I assure
you, that canyon exists as a vital link connecting them to these
other areas. I repeat, to consider other priorities ahead of
transp::>rtation demonstrates seriously faulty thinking. Certainly
only a fanatical environnentalist who would have us all backpacking through the canyon could seriously suggest such a thing.
(
let's be reasonable, Mr. Forsgren. Certainly recreation has its
place and deserves consideration, but not at the expense of those
who depend on that highway for transportation. I was born in
lDgan. As a youth, I traveled through the canyon for lTUSic
lessons, medical care, shopping, etc. alnnst ~kly. Now I drive
it dozens of times each year for business and pleasure. Sometines
�2
I stop for recreational purposes, too. But I believe those people
on the other side of the mountain deserve better than to stand in
jeopardy because of special interests groups whose access to the
~rld is provided by a six-lane freeway and see lA>gan Canyon only
in tenus f their
limited, selfish needs.

Comments: I have lived and operat.ed my business in lDgan for the past
10 years.
One of the prime reasons for selecting lDgan was the natural
beauty and adjacent wilderness areas.
However, I feel that there needs to be a reasonable and balanced
approach to the natural beauty and wilderness in regards to highway
design and rraint.enance and
1)
SafctV' -
ilCC2SS
through these areas.
The nurrerous accidents in the Logan Canyon area
testify to the need for proper passing and slow lanes.
I
have personally witnessed or experienced rrany "near-misses"
as a result of blind corners, ice build-up from cross drainage
(
in late spring, narrow bridges, and limited passing lanes
(
causing backups and "daredevil passes."
2)
Access Route:
Logan Canyon is not only a scenic drive, it is
the rrajor artery to lDgan from Rich County.
The highway must
be travelled in dangerous conditions by service and delivery
agents, professional services, truck traffic, temple visitors,
tourists, and shopping excursions for the citizens of Rich
County.
Travel in the canyon becomes a very serious considera-
tion in winter and spring due to very hazardous conditions, and
summer due to slow moving R.V. traffi<;:.
Commerce is drastically
hampered.
No one is askingfolr a super-highway, or for cOl11fl'ercial develOJ?l!Ent that
(
(
\'.QuId seriously reduce the natural attractiveness of the canyon. It is
SLC87/26
of questionalYle value however, if the canyon highway is left in its
current dangerous condition.
If this artery of cOl11fl'erce and tourism

He as the Hyde Park City Council feel additional construction in
Logan canyon will ultimately benefit not only Cache County residents,

an orderly fashion, it wouldn't adversely affect the environment in
Logan canyon.
