of Rich County be unduly taxed to maintain a road that they

would abandon if in fact they actually did abandon the road

or the alignment was changed so that it was our
5
responsibility as taxpayers to maintain the road that exists

right now.

So I do have some very,

very strong concerns about the canyon and what ought to

Just to throw a few insights to you regarding
6
7
the area and traffic patterns that we have there, on a day
8
that Beaver Mountain has 1,200 skiers, that develops into
9
roughly 440 cars at 2.7 persons per car, which is a good
10
average.

10
diminish its ability to draw the many people who come to

Injuring this canyon will diminish Utah's full

the value of what is a gateway to your beautiful valley
