The meeting for Ogden is tonight at the Weber County offices. Salt Lake's meeting is a week from Monday. Sorry Happy Valley, your meeting was two weeks ago.
If you go to the SLC meeting bring up the following points:
-Hard shoulders for roads on the west side. Heck, shoulders period would be nice. SR 111 would be a great cyclist route if it had shoulders.
-The cleaning of shoulders so cyclists aren't out by the white line.
-Bicycle routes need to be built to the standards of state highways. Bicycle "paths" are unacceptable for cycling as they generally wind and curve too much.
-There needs to be a way to get from Bountiful to SLC that doesn't involve Victory Road or Redwood Road. Both of those roads move way too fast and have too many big trucks. Perhaps a bike road (not a path) that is separated from traffic by barricades and that's kept clear in the winter
Bicycle Priority Routes Project Meetings will be held in many cities throughout the state. You all may have an opinion on routes in your area
