Community comments: Elaine Porter has concerns about the excessive speeding that goes on Canyon Road, all neighbors agree. Janet Johnson said she purchased signs for her driveway, Janet proposes to have bigger signs and have heavier law enforcements.  Shawn explained what we have tried and that we have talked about this same subject for the last few months, Connie asked about stop signs on all four corners, Janet talked about advertising with salt lake in paper about loving them coming to visit but need to respect the speed limits around here, Johnny Martinez would be an option maybe to hire someone full time. Roy asked about a video camera to take pictures of plates.  We need a dedicated police officer. Adequate signage is the first step of trying to solve this problem. Joe will get the big signs up and the flashing lights put on them, Roy Suggested about getting forest service involved and maybe have a meeting with them and law enforcement and invite the community to the meeting. Janet talked about putting an ad out there to hire an officer. The community also talked about the garbage the forest service needs to put garbage cans up the canyon so our garbage at the Hall doesn’t get overflowed by people going up to the Lake.
