Dale Steed, President
Logan Lions Club
1368 East Maple Drive
Logan, Utah
Dear Mr. Steed:
This is in reply to your letter of September 18 expressing the concern
of the Logan Lions Club over the lack of public information relating to the
Logan Canyon Highway project. You asked what your Club could do to encourage
completion of the project.
Civic clubs can make an important contribution in emphasizing the
need for protection of resource values affected by major construction
projects. In the case of the Forest Highway project in Logan Canyon, It
would seem Important for all members of the Logan Lions Club to become
familiar with the issues involved and then take a position that is in the
best long time interest of the people of Cache County and the Nation. In
Logan Canyon there are many Important values at stake that can be either
adversely affected or enhanced by the Forest Highway depending upon how it
Is constructed. These projects have the potential of adversely affecting
even to the point of destroying those very values and scenic beauties for
which a canyon or other area may be nationally famous. When these values
can be expected to increase tourist travel as they become better known, we
must be sure that they are preserved for the future.
The "Herald Journal^ of February 4, I962, carried an article which
very clearly outlines the Forest Service position on the Logan Canyon Road.
These requirements for road design and construction were given to the Utah
State Department of Highways and the Bureau of Public Roads. Our position
