Hearing set on Utah Lake bridge proposal

PROVO — What do you think about the Utah Lake bridge proposal? Who decides whether it will go through? How will the bridge affect you?

The Utah Lake Commission will hold a public hearing at 6 p.m. Thursday at the Utah County Health and Justice Building (151 S. University Ave.), Room 2500, to discuss these types of questions and more concerning a possible bridge over Utah Lake. The bridge would connect 800 North in Orem to just north of Pelican Point in Saratoga Springs.

There will be presentations on the bridge proposal and the process it must go through with an opportunity for public comments.

The Utah Lake Commission will make a recommendation to the Utah Division of Forestry, Fire and State Lands as to whether or not the proposal should be granted and thus would like to hear any comments the public may have.
