The Cache Valley Initiative is already having an effect on Hyde Park By
Rachel Irvine
One of the goals of the Cache Valley Initiative is to increase the capabilities of the Logan Airport by expanding the airstrip to be able to handle freight capabilities. Currently, 3700 North in Hyde Park runs all the way to Benson. The expansion of the airport runway is going to cut that road. The Cache County is going to build a new road for Hyde Park residents that extends from 3700 North then turns west to 4200 North. This will allow travelers to drive around the new airstrip. The county would like to begin on the road as soon as they can. Councilmember Charles Wheeler expressed concern at the Hyde Park City Council meeting Tuesday night that the city is not ready for the county to begin construction yet. "We need to make sure that the road is designed and engineered to the way that we want it," Wheeler said. "The county is already dumping gravel, and we don*t have a road designed." "We ought to be in charge in some degree of what we want," said Mayor Mark Daines. He is concerned that the road will be built and will not fit with what the city has planned for expansion. Daines said that he and the city administrator, Curt Gordon, will talk with County Executive Lynn Lemon, this week and get details worked out that will be acceptable to both the county and the city. Daines will report to the council in April what he found, so the council can vote on what to do and construction of the new road can begin.
