State group volunteers to help North Logan with safety
audits

October 6, 2008 | NORTH LOGAN -- The North Logan City
Planning Commission did not discuss the plans for a
subdivision of property as was on their agenda, but
instead heard plans that a transportation program has
that will affect Cache Valley.
Kevin Hislop, a professor at Utah State University,
spoke briefly about the Utah Local Technical Assistance
Program and its plans for the valley. The organization,
which is funded by the Utah Department of Transit, is
a university outreach program whose purpose is to provide
a technological transfer to towns and cities in the
valley that may not have the expertise that they may
be looking for.
The program plans on performing traffic counts and
safety audits all over the valley. The safety audits
will primarily focus on high crash locations to look
at them to see what can be done to make those locations
safer.
Hislop concluded that the program will not be designing
the facilities for transportation but will offer suggestions
and guidance.
