Election Results

Our Representatives have remained the same, and their contact info is:

SL County: Rep. Greg Hughes
541-6127 greghughes@utah.gov

UT County: Rep. John Dougall
492-1365 repjohndougall@gmail.com

Over the past couple of years, we have all seen how important it is to have legislators who are responsive and solution-oriented.

If you are new to the area, you may not realize that in 2007, one of the unintended consequences of the Jordan School District split was that everyone in SunCrest, including Southfield, Mercer Reserve, The Cottages etc. would have been part of the new district. As such, we would have had to drive our children up and over the mountain, to the Chevron station, to put our kids on a bus to Sandy. Our two representatives worked hard to pass legislation that allowed those who wanted their children in Alpine School District, to remain there, and for those who wished to be included in the Jordan District to be able to do so.

Let's Keep Our Snow to Ourselves

One of our residents just posted this message:

"I would appreciate Suncrest residents NOT snowblowing their snow onto the streets. It's really dangerous for some cars to hit this huge pile of snow and spin out. It's hard for cars to get thru that snow. PLEASE DO NOT SNOWBLOW OUT INTO THE STREETS. Thank you."

Please be considerate of everyone in the community by NOT snowblowing the snow into the streets. The plows are usually done by the time the snowblowers come out so there's nobody to come along and clean it up. It makes a dangerous layer of ice on the streets.

Corner Canyon Closure

Thanks Nate Kingdon for sending in this post:

To all,

Corner Canyon is closed from Bear Creek on the north to Clarks on the south.
We have put up signs and tape and bikers are still going around. Helicopters will be flying tomorrow morning. Anyone caught will be cited. The helicopter will be flying several tons of wood straw per load. If any of you could pass along this info on blogs or sites or anyplace someone may read it I would appreciate it. The canyon should be open by Monday. If you have any questions let me know. I will be working tomorrow.

Thanks,

Greg Hilbig

*********************************

I just spoke with Greg Hilbig at Draper City for a further explanation of what was open and what was closed. Greg confirmed that Clarks IS open this weekend. As long as we don¹t ride further North of Clarks. No Ghost Falls!
He is ok if we climb and descend Clarks.
